The Matriarch Mindset Podcast

I’m sharing the three things I’m working on for the last 90 days of the year—my health, my business, and apparently my ability to knit an entire sweater. 😂🧶

Do I know how to do that last one? Absolutely not.

Goal Setting Journaling Prompts:

1. Does this goal come from desire or demand? What would make me delighted to pursue it?

2. Would I still want to do this if nobody was impressed?

3. Will pursuing this goal require me to abandon myself—or become more myself?

4. Can I find enchantment in the process? What could make pursuing this feel beautiful, interesting, playful, meaningful, or fun?

What’s IN for the Matriarch right now—and what are we officially leaving behind?

Claire is back with me for a fun mother-daughter episode where we’re sharing our current Matriarch Ins & Outs. We’re talking everything from asking for what you need, letting people be disappointed, pausing before you respond, making decisions, carrying what’s actually yours, and enjoying the life you already have—with plenty of less-serious opinions mixed in too. 😂

Underneath all the fun is a bigger question: What are you intentionally bringing into this season of your life, and what are you finally ready to put down?

Because becoming the Matriarch isn’t always about adding more. Sometimes it’s about deciding what no longer gets your energy.

Journal It Out

• What is officially IN for me in this season?
• What am I ready to put firmly in the OUT column?
• What am I carrying right now that was never actually mine to carry?
• Where am I over-explaining, overthinking, or trying to manage someone else’s experience?
• What would I like to make more room for in my actual life?
• What is one old pattern I’m ready to stop practicing?
• What would the Matriarch choose here?

What’s IN? What’s OUT? You get to decide.

THE MATRIARCH LOVES HER WORK AND HER BUSINESS

What if marketing and selling aren’t the annoying parts of business you have to tolerate—but skills you can actually learn to love?

In this episode, I’m sharing why I believe one of the secrets to a profitable, sustainable business is learning to love the skills that allow you to keep serving. We’re talking marketing as adding value, selling as service, profit as stewardship, and why the Matriarch gets good at what her vision requires.

Journaling Prompts

1. What part of running my business have I decided I shouldn’t have to learn?
2. What thoughts do I currently have about marketing and selling? How are those thoughts affecting the way I show up?
3. What if becoming good at this is part of stewarding what I’m building?
4. What would change if I decided to learn to love marketing and selling instead of resisting them?
5. What skills does the business—and life—I’m building require me to develop?
6. Where am I waiting to feel confident before I’m willing to practice?
7. What would marketing look like if I believed it was simply adding value?
8. What would selling look like if I believed it was an invitation to deeper transformation?
9. Where am I getting graspy about an outcome instead of staying in service?
10. What is one skill my vision requires that I’m willing to practice getting better at right now?

The Matriarch gets good at what her vision requires.

What does the Matriarch Mindset actually look like in real life?

It looks a lot like my client Molly. ❤️

It looks like deciding to learn something new even when you don’t feel like you know what you’re doing yet.

It looks like entering a new season of life and asking, Who do I want to be here?

It looks like taking responsibility.

Learning new things.

Creating belonging.

Going first.

And sometimes it looks like asking one very simple question:

What would the matriarch do?

My client and friend, Molly Dixon, joined me on The Matriarch Mindset Podcast to talk about the ways this identity has begun shaping how she thinks, makes decisions, learns, leads, and shows up for the people she loves.

And I LOVE this conversation because Molly isn’t talking about becoming someone completely different.

She’s becoming more fully the woman God created her to be. 💗

This is the Matriarch Mindset in the wild.

Living your legacy out loud—right in the middle of your actual life.

EPISODE 100!!! 🎉❤️🩷

And with it…a brand new chapter.

The Journaling Room Podcast is becoming The Matriarch Mindset Podcast.

Journaling isn’t going anywhere. Neither is the faith, the thought work, the emotions, the practical tools or the conversations we’ve had here for the last 99 episodes.

But the vision has gotten bigger.

Because I want to talk about what it looks like to become a woman who leads herself well—her thoughts, her emotions, her decisions, her relationships, her work and the life God has given her to steward.

A woman who knows who she is. Who takes the next faithful step. Who steadies the room instead of being swept up by it. Who is intentionally building a life and legacy.

That’s the Matriarch Mindset.

And episode 100 is where we begin. 🎙️

Welcome to The Matriarch Mindset Podcast. ❤️🩷

Episode 99!! 🥹❤️

There’s something about standing right on the edge of what’s next.

You’re grateful for where you’ve been. You know you’re ready to move forward. And you can feel that little mix of excitement, nerves and okay God…here we go.

This episode is about that space.

The space between what was and what’s becoming.

Because growth doesn’t always mean leaving something behind.

Sometimes it means letting it become what it was always leading you toward.

🎙️ Episode 99 of The Journaling Room is out now.

One more episode.

And then…I finally get to tell you what’s next. 👀❤️🩷

Episode 98 feels a little different. ❤️

We’re just TWO episodes away from 100—and before we get there, I wanted to look back at what The Journaling Room has taught me.

About showing up before you feel ready. About letting something grow and change. About listening when God starts nudging you toward what’s next.

Because sometimes the thing you started was never meant to stay exactly the same.

Sometimes it did exactly what it was supposed to do: it brought you here.

And trust me…you’re going to want to stick around for 99 and 100. 👀❤️🩷

Can you be a matriarch at 23? 👀

This week in The Journaling Room, my daughters Cam, Claire and I are talking about what the Matriarch Mindset looks like in your 20s vs. your 40/50-somethings.

Different seasons, different responsibilities, different things we’re learning to care a whole lot LESS about. 😂

We talk about leading yourself well, steadying the room (not controlling it), making decisions when you don’t know what you’re doing, and what our generations can learn from each other.

Because becoming the matriarch isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about knowing who you are, trusting God, loving your people well, and taking the next faithful step.

So whether you’re 23, 43, 63 or 83: What would the matriarch do in the season you’re in right now? 💗❤️

We all have things we know we should do... but just don't feel like doing.

In this episode of The Journaling Room, I'm sharing the five simple thoughts I come back to whenever resistance shows up. These aren't motivational slogans—they're truths that help me renew my mind, keep promises to myself, and take the next faithful step, even when it feels uncomfortable. Grab your journal as we explore practical mindset shifts, biblical encouragement, and a few phrases that just might change the way you approach hard things. 🤍

Journaling Prompts from the Episode

1. What dream have you been expecting to feel easier than it actually does?What if this discomfort isn't evidence you're off course—but evidence you're growing?
2. What's one promise you've made yourself that deserves your attention today?Not tomorrow. Today.
3. Which feeling have you been trying hardest to avoid?What would happen if you simply allowed it to exist while continuing forward?
4. What feels dangerous today that might actually just be new?Is your brain trying to protect you from danger…or just from something unfamiliar?
5. What would the matriarch version of you do in the next hour?Write it down. Then go do that.

When God places a dream in the heart of a woman, the matriarch doesn't dismiss it.

She listens.

She prays.

She seeks wisdom.

She takes the next step.

And then she trusts God with the rest.

Because that is what the matriarch does.

And perhaps that whisper you've been hearing isn't asking for certainty.

Perhaps it's simply asking for your next yes.

Would you join me in considering all that I’ve shared. Not just as good ideas that sound great - but really consider what the matriarch mindset means and then start taking action from how she thinks and feels and decides and dreams? Oh, what a gift to live life this way!!
