The Encourager Podcast: Equipping Christian Moms to Harmonize Work and Home

What if you only had 10 minutes to work on your business today?

Not an hour. Not an uninterrupted afternoon. Not even 30 minutes.

Just ten.

I've spent more than 20 years building a business alongside a full life, and one thing I know for sure is that small pockets of focused work still count.

This is one of my favorite applications of the 1% rule. You don't always need to make massive progress. Sometimes you simply need to keep the idea, dream, or business God has given you moving forward by 1%.

In this episode, I'm giving you four options for what to do when you've only got 10 minutes.

1. Follow Up

You've probably heard the phrase, “The fortune is in the follow-up.”

Who already knows what you do but simply needs to hear from you again?

Maybe it's a potential client, a customer, a wholesale lead, an unpaid invoice, someone you met at an event, or a collaboration that never quite got off the ground.

Don't spend your 10 minutes creating a complicated follow-up system.

Just follow up.

Send the email. Make the call. Send three texts. Reach out to five people.

There may already be opportunity sitting inside conversations you've started.

2. Create a Three-Day Marketing Plan

Forget three months. Plan three days.

Ask yourself: What am I promoting?

Then: How am I going to tell people about it?

Choose one product, service, appointment, podcast episode, event, or offer. Then decide how you're going to promote it.

Maybe it's:

• Day 1: Post
• Day 2: Email
• Day 3: Video or Stories

Your days don't even have to be consecutive. The goal is simply to give yourself a plan you can execute.

3. Organize Tomorrow

If today is already shot, use today to rescue tomorrow.

Choose three priorities.

Not 13.

Three.

Ask yourself:

• What needs to happen to keep my business running?
• What needs to happen to keep me caught up?
• What could actually move my business forward?

Then get specific.

“Work on marketing” isn't specific enough.

“Write Tuesday's customer email and send it by 10 a.m.” is actionable.

Use your 10 minutes to decide what you're doing, what order you're doing it in, and what you'll need to get started.

You're removing tomorrow's friction today.

4. Do a Brain Dump

You know how I feel about a good brain dump!

Set your timer and get everything out of your head.

Don't organize it. Don't make it pretty. Don't worry when personal things sneak onto the list.

Just dump.

Then, before your timer ends:

Group it. What belongs together?

Prioritize it. What actually matters right now?

Choose it. What are the one to three things you're going to take action on?

The goal isn't to accomplish everything on the page.

The goal is clarity.

Your 10-Minute Challenge: 

Don't try all four.

Pick one.

• If your business needs opportunity → Follow up.
• If your business needs direction → Make a three-day marketing plan.
• If your business needs focus → Organize tomorrow.
• If your business needs clarity → Do a brain dump.

Set the timer for 10 minutes and go.

Small pockets of focused work count. This is the 1% rule in action, especially during seasons when life gets in the way of the plans we had for our businesses.

And if you love this kind of practical, actionable coaching, this is exactly what we work through together in my one-on-one coaching. I have spots available and would love to walk beside you—even if all you've got right now is 10 minutes.

Until next time, encouragers, we've got this because He's got us.

 What are the things in your life that matter too much to continually leave to chance?

That's really what rituals are about.

I've always been an intentional person. I love helping people recognize what lights them up, what they're gifted at, and what God may be calling them toward—and then figuring out how to actually make space for those things.

Over the years, I've realized that one of the ways I do this in my own life is through rituals.

These aren't complicated. And they certainly aren't a formula I'm handing you and saying, Do exactly what I do.

Instead, I want you to listen to mine and zoom out.

What would your rituals look like?

My Daily Rituals: What Keeps Me Grounded?

My daily rituals are small, but they're the things I return to most frequently:

• Prayer
• Exercise
• My habit tracker
• Skincare
• A 15-minute check-in with Nicholas

That 15-minute conversation with my husband has been especially impactful. Instead of only talking logistics—who's going where, what's for supper, what needs to get done—we ask each other questions like:

What made you happy today?
What made you frustrated today?

It helps us connect at the heart level instead of only the logistics level.

Ask yourself: What do I need to touch every day to feel grounded and connected?

My Weekly Rituals: What Helps Me Reset?

My weekly rituals include:

• Completing my Weekly Agenda
• Bath night
• Journaling to my kiddos
• Sunday chores as a family

These rituals keep things from piling up physically, mentally, relationally, and practically.

And remember—not every ritual needs to be productive.

Bath night isn't about accomplishing something. Prayer isn't about checking something off.

Some rituals simply help us become still, grounded, peaceful, and connected to what matters.

Ask yourself: What would make my week feel more peaceful and connected if I knew it happened every single week?

My Monthly Rituals: Where Do I Need to Zoom Out?

Monthly rituals allow me to pull my eyes away from what's immediately in front of me and look at the bigger picture.

Mine include:

• A Honey Huddle with Nicholas
• Deep cleaning one area of our home
• Reviewing our Home Tour Checklist
• My monthly mastermind

During our Honey Huddle, we're looking at expectations, calendars, budgets, priorities, and even dreams for the month ahead.

We also look at our Home Tour Checklist and choose something we can tackle that month.

These aren't things that require my attention every day—but they benefit enormously from getting intentional attention once a month.

Ask yourself: What area of my life doesn't need daily attention but could change significantly if I gave it focused attention once a month?

My Yearly Rituals: What Do I Want to Make Sure Happens in This Life?

This is where rituals become less about managing life and more about creating the life you actually want to remember.

My yearly rituals include:

• My solo retreat
• A family vacation
• Doing our Home Tour with Nicholas
• Mapping out our year-in-advance calendar
• Planning shows, launches, sports, farming seasons, vacations, and busy seasons
• An annual girls trip with my daughters

I don't want to get so caught up in the everydayness of life that we continually say, We'll do that someday.

Yearly rituals help me protect the things I want our family to be able to look back on and say:

"Yes. We did that again this year."

Your Challenge: 

Grab a piece of paper and create four categories:

DAILY — WEEKLY — MONTHLY — YEARLY

But don't turn this into another to-do list.

Instead, repeatedly ask yourself:

• What matters to me?
• What deserves your attention every day?
• What helps you reset every week?
• What needs a monthly check-in?
• And what memories, relationships, experiences, or plans do you want to protect every single year?

A routine can simply be something you do.

A ritual is something you return to because it matters.

Start there.

And if you want help identifying what matters most, finding the time for it, and creating systems that support the life you're trying to build, I'd love to work alongside you through one-on-one coaching.

Until next time, encouragers—we've got this because He's got us.

What if you could walk into Monday without feeling like you're already behind?

For almost two decades, I've practiced a simple weekly reset. It's one of those small systems that has had a mighty impact on my ability to run multiple businesses, help my husband with our farming life, raise four kids, manage our home, and still stay present in the life God has given me.

And today, I'm walking you through exactly how I do it.

Every Sunday night, I sit down with my Weekly Agenda and zoom out before the week begins.

First, I look backward before I look forward.

What didn't get done last week? What actually needs to move forward? What did I forget?

And maybe most importantly:

What can I simply let go?

Not everything unfinished deserves to be transferred to another week.

Then I look at my calendar and ask:

What kind of week is this?

Heavy? Light? Kid-heavy? Work-heavy? Travel-heavy?

Instead of planning for an imaginary perfect week, I want to build systems around the reality of the week I'm actually walking into.

Next, I take care of a couple of home basics that otherwise take up way too much mental bandwidth: food and laundry.

I quickly decide our meals based on the calendar, and I know when laundry is happening. For me, that's Monday.

Then comes one of the most important parts of my reset: my six priorities.

I choose:

• 3 priorities for work
• 3 priorities for my family/home

Not 15. Not my entire to-do list.

Just the things that need to move forward that week.

Because productivity isn't only about your work.

Getting to your child's event matters.

Creating space for your marriage matters.

Having groceries in the house matters.

Stewarding your family well matters.

And finally, I end the entire reset in prayer.

I lay the week before God and ask Him to help me steward what's in front of me, be present where I am, and make it incredibly clear when He wants me to shift my plans.

I make the plan—and then I hold it with open hands.

My challenge to you isn't to copy my Sunday reset.

It's to create your version.

Maybe yours happens Friday afternoon or Monday morning. Maybe you check your budget, order groceries, prep kids' clothes, look at school assignments, or coordinate schedules with your spouse.

Make it personal.

Make it simple.

And most importantly, make it something you'll actually do.

Don't build the perfect weekly reset. Build the one you'll actually use.

YOUR WEEKLY RESET

1. Review last week.
2. Look at the calendar.
3. Plan meals and home rhythms.
4. Choose your top priorities.
5. Pray over the week.

That's it.

A small system with a mighty impact.

 Marketing has changed tremendously during my years of owning businesses.

There was a time when I could make a purse, take it to a show, sell it, come home, and make another one. Now we're thinking about emails, videos, social media, websites, launches, photography, text messages, ads, and a whole lot more.

And if we aren't careful, marketing can become the thing we're thinking about at the dinner table because tomorrow morning we still don't know what we're supposed to post.

I don't want that for you—or for me.

Over the years, I've built a system that allows me to see what's coming before it becomes urgent. I call it my Marketing Promotions Calendar.

The important thing is that I don't want you to copy my exact calendar. I couldn't possibly account for every industry, service, product, customer, or business model listening to this podcast. Instead, I want you to take the framework and build a version that fits your business and your life.

The goal is simple:

Decide where you're going before you start creating the marketing that gets you there.

In This Episode We Cover:

1. Start With the Biggest View: Your Year

Before you decide what you're posting Tuesday, zoom way out.

Ask: What does my business year naturally look like?

Look for the marketing moments you already know exist.

For my product business, that includes things like:

• holidays
• product launches
• seasonal collections
• shows and events
• sales
• product-of-the-month promotions
• seasons when customers naturally shop more

But yours might include:

• enrollment periods
• appointment-heavy seasons
• conferences or workshops
• client renewals
• annual events
• seasonal services
• packages or launches

And remember: you do not need something happening every month.

Build your calendar around your actual business and actual customer—not what somebody on Instagram says a business owner is “supposed” to be doing.

2. Zoom Into the Next 90 Days

Once you can see your year, narrow your focus.

Ask: What do I want my customer to know about, buy, book, join, or do during the next 90 days?

Then choose approximately three to five things that actually matter.

Maybe you're promoting:

• a product
• a service
• an event
• a seasonal offer
• an educational topic
• an enrollment period
• a special package

Those become the backbone of your marketing.

You don't have to have the entire year perfectly mapped down to every Instagram caption. You're simply deciding what matters before you start communicating about it.

3. Figure Out Your REAL Lead Time
And I mean real.

Not how quickly your ambitious little heart thinks you could pull it off.

Ask: How long does it actually take us to get this ready to sell, launch, book, or promote well?

I used to plan about two weeks ahead.

Then I moved to a month.

Then 90 days.

Today, we plan considerably farther ahead, while much of the actual production work for a product launch begins roughly eight to nine weeks before the launch.

Your answer could be completely different.

Maybe you need:

• two weeks
• four weeks
• eight weeks
• three months

The point isn't the number.

The point is knowing your number.

Then put your launch date on the calendar and work backward.

4. Separate Preparation From Promotion

These are not the same thing.

My MPC essentially has two calendars living together:

Preparation + Production
What has to happen behind the scenes before this is ready?

Promotion
How are we going to tell people about it?

For me, preparation might include product design, materials, production, photography, website setup, pricing, inventory, and COGS.

For your business, preparation might mean:

• creating the proposal
• opening appointment slots
• preparing the workshop
• building a landing page
• creating client materials
• training employees
• ordering supplies

Then comes promotion:

• email
• social media
• podcast
• text
• ads
• live video
• partnerships
• collaborations
• in-person events

These two calendars have to talk to each other.

5. Give Each Season a Job

Now ask a slightly different question: What is my customer thinking about during this season?

Notice that's different from: What do I want to sell her?

If my customer is entering September thinking about schedules, routines, organization, and getting everyone back into a rhythm, I can think about how what I'm selling serves her in that season.

The same thing applies to services, coaching, appointments, education, and almost any other industry.

Don't just ask: “What do I want to promote?”

Ask: “What is happening in my customer's life when I promote it?”

6. THEN Plan the Communication

Only now are we getting down to:

“What email should I send?”

“What should I post?”

“What video should I make?”

Because now those decisions aren't random.

Ask: If this is what I'm promoting, what does my customer need to hear before they are ready to buy?

Maybe they need:

• education
• inspiration
• a reminder
• a story
• a demonstration
• FAQs
• proof that it works
• an invitation

Suddenly, your content has a job.

You're no longer staring at your phone thinking:

“Shoot. I need to send an email today. What do I say?”

You've already decided where you're going. Now your marketing is helping your customer get there with you.

7. Build in a Weekly Review

A marketing calendar you never look at isn't much help.

I personally review mine twice during the week.

One review helps me think about what needs to be prepared or ordered.

Another helps me make sure the upcoming promotions are actually ready.

Ask: What's coming in the next two, four, and eight weeks?

Not just: What's happening this week?

That's where breathing room starts showing up.

You suddenly notice the supplies you haven't ordered, the photography that isn't finished, the email that still needs written, or the piece of the launch that needs more time.

And you're noticing it before it's an emergency.

8. Don't Copy Someone Else's Calendar

Learn from other businesses? Absolutely.

Copy and paste their entire strategy into yours? Probably not.

Your marketing calendar has to account for your:

• customer
• capacity
• business model
• industry
• family
• team
• seasons
• natural sales patterns

Ask yourself: What does consistency realistically look like for my business?

There may also be promotions that work so well that you repeat them every year. That's helpful! Repeating successful promotions gives you data and lets your customers begin anticipating what's coming.

The goal isn't to recreate my system.

It's to create a system you can actually use.

If This Feels Overwhelming, Start Here:

Grab one big calendar and do these four things:

1. Write down the major things you want to promote.

Don't worry about beginning in January. Start wherever you are.

2. Circle the next 90 days.

Choose three to five things that really matter during that period.

3. Determine the lead time for each one.

Then work backward and put the start date on your calendar—not just the launch date.

4. Ask what your customer needs to hear leading up to it.

Those answers become your emails, posts, podcasts, videos, texts, and other marketing.

That's it. Start there.

Key Takeaway: You may not need to get better at marketing. You may need to get better at planning your marketing.

When you know what you're promoting, when you're promoting it, how much lead time it really requires, and what your customer needs to hear along the way, marketing stops feeling like a daily emergency.

And for those of us building businesses alongside families and full lives, that breathing room matters.

Good planning doesn't just serve the bottom line.

It can serve your family, too.

Reflection Questions:

• What are the natural marketin

Fall has a way of filling up before we even realize what's happening.

The calendar changes. School starts. Routines shift. Work gets busy. And our natural response can be to start planning, adding, organizing, and figuring out how we're going to get everything done.

But what if, before we add anything, we simply pay attention?

In this episode, I'm inviting you to spend 30 minutes asking yourself four questions about your life right now.

Where am I zapped?
What's draining me? What leaves me feeling depleted? And is there something I can eliminate or adjust before it completely exhausts me?

Where am I thriving?
What's actually going really well? Where do I feel strong, connected, joyful, healthy, or peaceful—and how can I protect that?

Where am I avoiding something?
What conversation, appointment, task, boundary, financial decision, or responsibility keeps hanging over me because I haven't dealt with it?

Where do I feel God's peace?
Where do I feel settled? What has God been making clearer? Is there something I've released that brought peace instead of regret?

You don't have to make your answers profound. Just write down what's true.

Then look at your answers and ask:

• What needs to be eliminated?
• What needs to be protected?
• What needs to be adjusted?

In This Episode, We Cover:

• Why you don't necessarily need another fall plan
• How exhaustion can give you useful information
• Why I'm reevaluating how much content I'm creating
• Why it's important to notice what's thriving—not just what's wrong
• The areas of my life I want to protect because they're working
• How avoidance can keep something feeling heavier than it needs to
• My own experience avoiding a decision around the Encourager website
• How God's peace can help give us direction
• What happened when I finally released an idea I had been holding onto
• How to use these four questions to finish the year intentionally

Key Takeaway: 

You may not need to add something new to your life. You may need to pay attention to what your life is already telling you.

Reflection Questions

Ask yourself:

• Where am I zapped?
• Where am I thriving?
• Where am I avoiding something?
• Where do I feel God's peace?

Then ask:

• What is my life trying to tell me right now?

Or:

• What is God revealing to me right now?

If these questions are bringing up something you know needs attention, I offer one-on-one coaching to help you work through what's happening right now and make intentional adjustments as you finish the year.

As fall approaches, it's easy to slip into the mindset of "I have to get everything done before December." In this episode, I share a different approach: finishing the year strategically instead of striving.

You'll learn how to identify what truly deserves your attention, narrow your focus to nine meaningful priorities (three personal, three family, and three work), and reverse engineer those goals into practical action steps. Instead of measuring success by exhaustion or productivity, you'll be challenged to measure success by faithful stewardship of what God has actually asked you to do.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate, this episode will help you replace hustle with harmony.

What You'll Learn:

• The difference between strategy and striving.
• Why God never asked you to carry everything.
• How to choose your "Nine Before December."
• How to reverse engineer your biggest priorities.
• Why fewer priorities often create greater progress.
• How to protect your calendar, peace, and energy this fall.
• A practical exercise to help you finish the year with intention.

Memorable Quotes
"You don't need to accomplish everything before December. You simply need to accomplish the right things."
"Busy people react. Strategic people decide."
"Progress doesn't require complexity. It requires clarity."
"Every yes to one priority is a loving no to something that mattered less."
"Don't measure success by how exhausted you are. Measure success by asking, 'Did I faithfully do what God asked me to do?'"
"When you live with intention, you create more harmony in your home, more peace in your body, and more margin to notice what God is doing."

Scriptures: 
While no single verse is read during the episode, the teaching reflects faithful stewardship and intentional living.

Suggested companion verses:

• Proverbs 16:3
• Colossians 3:23
• Psalm 90:12
• Matthew 6:33

Reflection Questions: 

• If December came tomorrow, what would matter most?
• What deserves your attention—and what simply wants your attention?
• What are your three most important personal priorities?
• What are your three most important family priorities?
• What are your three most important work priorities?
• Which goal could you reverse engineer into small weekly steps?
• Where have you been striving instead of living strategically?

Challenge of the Week
Create your Nine Before December list.

Divide one sheet of paper into three sections:

• Personal (3)
• Family (3)
• Work (3)

Place it somewhere you'll see every day.

Whenever a new opportunity or commitment appears, ask yourself:
"Does this help one of my Nine Before December, or is it simply asking for my attention?"

When life gets busy, the first thing many women sacrifice is themselves.

In this episode, we're talking about rebuilding your Me System before fall gets away from you. Instead of striving for a complete life overhaul, we're focusing on one simple challenge:

Improve one area by just 10%.

We'll walk through four areas that help you stay fully charged:

• Sleep
• Movement
• Quiet Time
• Personal Growth

Because when you're operating from a full charge instead of survival mode, everyone around you benefits.

Small, faithful changes create lasting transformation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Choose ONE area:

✓ Sleep
✓ Movement
✓ Quiet Time
✓ Personal Growth

Improve it by only 10% this week.

Ask yourself:

"What's one small habit that would move me toward the woman God is shaping me to become?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 Corinthians 4:16

"Though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day."

Back-to-school season can feel overwhelming before it even begins. The forms, schedules, meals, activities, mornings, and responsibilities can pile up quickly — but we do not have to enter fall in chaos.

In this episode, Rebekah shares three simple systems to set up before school starts so your family can move into the season with more peace, clarity, and harmony.

The three systems are:

1. Your Calendar System
   The goal is not the prettiest planner or the fullest calendar. The goal is simple: everyone knows what is happening. Whether your family uses a paper calendar, a shared digital calendar, or something else entirely, decide where the calendar lives, how it will be updated, and how your family will use it.

Ask yourself:
Where do we look for the calendar?
Is it easy for everyone to reference?
What is happening this week?
What important dates need to be prioritized?
How will we handle changes?

1. Your Food System
   Food takes up so much mental energy, especially during the first few weeks of school. Instead of waiting until you are exhausted on day two, decide ahead of time how food will work.

Ask yourself:
Will we meal plan weekly or monthly?
Who will buy the groceries?
Where will groceries come from?
Who can help cook?
What nights are naturally busy?
What simple meals can we have ready?

Pro tip: prepare 10 freezer meals or easy meals before school starts. Your future self will thank you.

1. Your Morning System
   Great mornings usually begin the night before. This system is about reducing stress, creating clear expectations, and helping your home still feel like a sanctuary even during busy school mornings.

Ask yourself:
What can be prepared the night before?
What time does everyone need to wake up?
What is the breakfast plan?
What is the bathroom routine?
What time do we need to leave?
What one small change would reduce the most stress?

Rebekah also encourages families to schedule a 30–60 minute family meeting in early or mid-August to talk through these systems together. Children often support what they help create, so give them a voice and let them help build the plan.

You do not need a perfect family, color-coded binders, or another planner. You just need a little preparation, intention, and systems that actually work for your unique home.

August has a way of making us feel like we need to "get our lives together."

The routines are returning.
School is around the corner.
Calendars begin filling up.

But what if the healthiest thing you could do isn't add more?

In this episode, Rebekah shares a simple one-hour reset built around four powerful questions that help you prepare for fall with intention instead of overwhelm.

You'll learn how to identify what's already working, recognize what's creating unnecessary friction, decide what truly deserves your attention, and give yourself permission to postpone what isn't meant for this season.

Plus, you'll leave with one practical exercise you can complete in just ten minutes to create clarity for the months ahead.

• What's working?
• What's not working?
• What needs attention?
• What can wait until next year?

Then you'll sort everything into four simple categories:

• Keep
• Stop
• Start
• Delay

Sometimes clarity isn't found by doing more.
It's found by evaluating what God is already doing.
