Today we’re joined by author and founder of The Peaceful Press, Jennifer Pepito. Jennifer has a passion for equipping families to homeschool in a way that is developmentally appropriate, spiritually nourishing, and based on proven methods of education. She doesn’t want you just to homeschool. She wants to help you enjoy the homeschooling journey and learn with your children in ways that build connected families. 

Jennifer shares with us about her newest book, Habits for a Sacred Home, which teaches us how to create rhythms in our home that emulate historic Christian practices and ultimately restore our modern families.

Have you been dreaming of starting a business, podcast, or creative pursuit of some kind? You’re in luck, because today we’re joined by the gal behind all things marketing at Glamour Farms, Haley Klockenga! Haley shares her story of how she took a chance and brought the idea of a podcast to her bosses and what eventually led to her being the host of the popular podcast for Christian women, Glamour Farms The Podcast. 

Haley’s story is one of taking chances, shooting your shot, and not letting great be the enemy of good. She inspires us to do it scared, do it before you’re ready, and she reminds us that if God calls us to it, He’ll equip us for it!

Today is such a special day because it’s my oldest’s 6th birthday which also means I’ve been a mom for SIX whole years! On one hand I’m not sure how it’s already been six years and on the other hand I’m not sure how it’s only been six years! Such is life, right? 

In honor of my “mom birthday”, I thought it’d be fun to share six of my favorite lessons I’ve learned in motherhood over the last six years.

Let’s chat!! It’s been a minute since we’ve had a couch chat and we are long overdue so get cozy while I update you on all the things that have been going on in my life lately. If you came to my house and sat on my couch and asked me “how’s life?”, this is how I’d answer! 

TW: I do talk about miscarriage in this episode - no details, just my experience navigating grief and what I’m doing to find joy and hope amidst the heartache. As always, my goal is to encourage you and I know so many of you who have walked this road which is why I’m choosing to share openly about it, but if it’s not for you I completely understand.

I am so excited for you to hear from my friend Diane Boden from The Minimalist Moms Podcast today! Diane and I share about how living more minimally has impacted our motherhood, we talk about what it looks like to be intentional about all our purchases, what to do when your kids have accumulated too much stuff, and we even dive into holidays & birthdays. 

Diane makes minimalism feel simple and attainable for everyone, which is why I know you’re going to love her!

If you’re tired today, this one’s for you. I got to sit down with the incredible Jess Connolly and have an honest and real conversation surrounding her new book, Tired of Being Tired. 

Jess and I talk about why we, as women especially, wear tired as a badge of honor, how we got so tired in the first place, how to identify what kind of tired you are, and most importantly - the good news that we don’t actually have to live tired. Jesus came to give us a better way and soul deep rest is ours to enjoy in the name of Jesus. If you’re feeling a little soul-tired today, I hope this helps.

This week I’m sharing with you some of the best ways I have found to stay connected to God and grow your relationship with Him, even in the trenches of the early years of motherhood. These years take a lot out of us moms, but when we partner with God and prioritize our relationship with Him, we can thrive and find joy in every season of motherhood.

Ohh, social media… We hate to love it and we love to hate it, BUT I believe that God can redeem it for His glory when we partner with Him to set boundaries and create a healthy relationship with it. So today, I’m sharing with you how you can walk in freedom from the comparison cycle that is so easy to fall into on social media, stop doom scrolling, and have practical tools in your back pocket for anytime comparison tries to sneak into your mind.
