The Deviled Egg Society

Be Brave Over Comfortable

👉 Come say hey on Instagram: @kaylabrint. I love hearing from y’all and sharing the behind-the-scenes!

This episode wasn’t planned—but it’s one I had to record.

Something’s been weighing heavy on my heart, and I couldn’t shake it: what if we just lived a life with no regrets?

I’m sharing a personal story about making a big decision for my son’s school—even when it meant walking away from a good thing—because I didn’t want to live with the “what ifs.”

If you’ve got something in your life that just isn’t working, this is your permission slip to do something about it.

Here’s what to do:

1. Get honest — What’s not working?
2. Zoom out — Will you regret not taking action a year from now?
3. Take one small step — Just enough to get the ball rolling.
4. Make peace with imperfect — You don’t have to have it all figured out.
5. Repeat this with me — I’d rather be brave than comfortable.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real, raw story straight from the trenches of summer break. After one too many tech-triggered meltdowns (mine and theirs 🙃), I snapped—and yanked all screens from the house. No TV, no Switch, no nothing. What started as a last-straw meltdown turned into something that changed our home in ways I never expected.

I’m walking you through:

• Why I ditched screens cold turkey
• What the first few days (and meltdowns) were really like
• The unexpected magic that showed up when boredom hit
• Why I might never go back—and how you can decide if this is right for your family too

If you’ve ever felt like the referee, the nag, the mom who’s “not fun anymore”… this one’s for you. 💛

Let me know your thoughts and tips for reintroducing screens—if you’ve figured out a way that actually works for your family. I’m all ears. 👂

Landon is a digital entertainer, comedian, bestselling author, and Mississippi native with a heart as big as a cast iron skillet.

We talk about his unexpected rise to internet fame, his deep Southern roots, and the power of showing up as your full, authentic self — even if it means stirring the pot with some deviled egg controversy. Oh yes, we go there. 🥚🔥

Whether you’re Southern born and raised or just Southern curious, this is a conversation you’ll be quoting, bookmarking, and belly-laughing through. Bless it. 💛

🧵 In This Episode, We Chat About:

• How Landon stumbled (literally) into his calling and built a viral brand
• The viral Walmart High School story that put him on the map
• Why consistency and authenticity are his secret sauce
• The real reason his bestselling book Bless Your Heart has footnotes (and why they’re the BEST part!)

• His advice for anyone trying to find (or walk in) their calling
• His brand new Christmas book, coming soon!

Come say "hi" on Instagram: @kaylabrint

I’m chatting with someone near and dear to me — my friend Nichole Holze — and y’all, you’re gonna want to take notes.

Nichole is a homeschooling mama, travel content creator, and one of the most intentionally brave women I know. She’s been carving her own path long before it was cool — road-tripping across the country with her two kids, building a business that funds their adventures, and doing it all in a way that actually fits her family’s values.

We talk about:

• Why homeschooling her way was the key to everything — and how it’s a metaphor for doing life your way
• The idea of being “responsibly brave” — bold with a plan (and a backup)
• How to tune out the noise and get quiet enough to hear your calling
• Building a slow, steady business rooted in authenticity and integrity
• What it means to be a working mom who walks the walk, even when there’s no roadmap

Nichole didn’t go viral. She didn’t stumble into success. She built it, slowly and intentionally — one decision at a time — and her story is one of the most powerful examples I’ve seen of what it means to walk in your calling.

In this episode of The Deviled Egg Society, I’m pouring a glass of wine and pulling back the curtain on what’s really been going on in my heart this year: learning to let go of things that no longer serve me.

 It hasn’t been easy—and I’m still very much in the thick of it—but I’m sharing the signs that helped me identify what needed to go, the different areas of life I’m evaluating, and the exact process I’m using to move forward with peace.
 If something in your life is feeling heavy lately, this one’s for you.

🧹 Categories to Evaluate

You’ll hear me walk through these six areas where we can all pause and ask: “Is this still serving me?”

• Physical spaces (clutter, old hobbies, that jacket from 1997 😉)
• Digital clutter (photos, apps, storage, inboxes)
  👉 I talk more about this in the previous episode – don’t miss it!
• Time commitments (roles, routines, responsibilities that were for a past season)
• Relationships (friendships or dynamics that feel draining rather than life-giving)
• Mindsets (perfectionism, scarcity, comparison)
• Habits (late nights, people pleasing, skipping your morning routine… calling myself out!)

🧭 The 5-Step “Bless & Release” Process

Here’s the process I use when it’s time to let something go:

1. Identify it – Name it honestly.
2. Acknowledge it – It did serve you once.
3. Decide – Is it helping you become who you’re called to be now?
4. Release – Let it go with peace (pray about it, journal, etc.).
5. Replace – Make room for what will serve you in this new season.

💬 Journal Prompt

Here’s your reflection for the week:

💡And yes—"terrifying" is a valid first answer.

Write it down. Then come back to it the next day and see what new feelings come up. Is there any excitement on the other side of that fear?

✨ Resource Mentioned

• The Bible Recap: A daily Bible reading plan and podcast I’ve done for 5 years. It’s free and such a gift.

Thank you so much for being here, for showing up, and for being brave enough to reevaluate what’s in your life right now.
 As I said at the end... I’m somewhere between screaming and laughing on this roller coaster ride—and I’m so glad we’re on it together. 💛

🎙 Episode Title: Declutter Your Phone, Discover Your Purpose

Y’all… I’m on a journey to walk in my calling, and something that keeps coming up over and over again is how cluttered and distracted I feel—especially when it comes to my phone. In this episode, I’m breaking down the five major areas of digital clutter that have been stealing my peace and how I’m taking my phone back one step at a time.

I’m talkin’:

• ✉️ Deleting 4,000+ unread emails (yes, really)
• 💬 Cleaning out my text messages
• 📸 Backing up 30,000 photos and 3,000 videos 😅
• 📇 Updating old contacts (including one wild story about an ex from high school)
• 📱 Reviewing every single app before moving to my new iPhone

This is about so much more than organizing a phone—it’s about creating margin to hear from the Lord, be more present, and finally get clear on what I’m truly called to do.

🎙 Episode 8: You Need a Hobby (And So Do I)

In last week’s episode, I talked about the journey of finding your calling — and y’all, this week I’m diving into something that’s surprisingly connected:

👉 Having a dang hobby.

Not a hustle.
 Not something that checks a box.
 But something you do just because you love it.

And here’s the truth… I don’t have one right now.
 I’ve spent so much time building a business, raising kids, and doing all the things that somewhere along the way… I forgot to make time for me.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• Why I believe hobbies are a huge part of reconnecting with your purpose
• The productivity trap that made me push hobbies aside
• And the 3 steps I’m taking right now to finally find a hobby again

Whether you’ve got a hobby you love or you feel like you’ve lost yourself a little — this episode is for you.

Let’s stay connected:
Tag me @kaylabrint and tell me what hobby you love (or want to try)! I’m building my no-judgment hobby list, and I’d love your ideas!

Walking in Your Calling (Even When It Feels Muddy)

Y’all… this one’s been on my heart for a long time.

I’m diving into something that’s felt so heavy for me lately—and that’s figuring out my actual calling. Not just what I can do or what I’ve built a business around… but what I’m meant to do. What makes me come alive. What I was put on this earth to do that makes a real impact.

I’ve taken the courses, read the books, prayed the prayers—and yet, it still feels muddy.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

• What growing up as a people-pleaser has to do with calling in adulthood
• Why this year has me taking a BIG step back to reevaluate everything
• The three steps I’m taking right now to figure out where God is leading me
• And the people online who are inspiring the heck outta me right now just by being themselves

If you’ve ever felt like you're meant for more but you're not sure what “more” even looks like—you are not alone. I'm right there with you.

🌟 A few people I mention in this episode:

• Brunch with Babs – if you know, you know. I could listen to her talk about tinfoil hacks and salad dressing all day. 🥹
• John Mark Enterprises – the man makes FLORALS and BOWS and inspires me to live with more joy and color. I adore him.
• A random woman fishing in a boat who gets paid to be herself—and I couldn’t be happier for her 😭

🎯 Here's what I'm doing next (and maybe you can, too):

1. Interviewing people who are fully walking in their calling. I want to know how they got there, how they knew, and what it looks like behind the scenes.
2. Getting honest with God. Like, really honest. Bold prayers, tough questions, the whole thing.
3. Following and learning from people who are doing what they love—and doing it well. If they’re in their lane and loving it, I want to take notes.

If you’re in this same season—figuring it out, praying through it, or just trying to find the thing—this episode is for you. And if you know someone I should talk to (or interview on the podcast), send this to them. Let’s all learn from each other. 🤍

DM me if this resonated with you. I’d truly love to hear from you.
 Love y’all big.

Feeding your family is no small task — but having a system can make all the difference. 🍽 In this episode, I share my recipe binder method — how I track meals, write down modifications, and create a simple system that helps me feed my people well (without pulling my hair out). Plus, I’m talking about my dream of turning it into a family cookbook one day. Practical, purposeful, and a little old-fashioned — just the way I like it.

Follow along on Instagram!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — my biggest dream isn’t about business or money or a nice home. It’s about raising a family that wants to come home. 🏠 In this episode, I’m sharing how we’re building little family traditions now that create a sense of belonging and connection. From dinner table routines to holiday moments, these rhythms may be small, but they shape the soul of our home.
