  • Ep. 19: Rethinking Success with Anne Miller

    Not resonating with Instagram fitness models, diets, or the narrative that exercise is a punishment for poor eating habits?

  • Ep.18: The Mom Conversations We're Not Having (But Should) w/ Alex Fales

    Motherhood is full of contradictions, unspoken struggles, and sacred moments we often don’t talk about. In this episode, I sit down with my friend, Alex Fales, for the honest mom conversation we’ve all been craving. We talk about caregiving, ownership, shame, and the real experiences that so many mothers carry quietly.

    The inspiration for this episode came from the viral clip of Chappell Roan saying her mom friends are "in hell". Are they? Does mom content unintentionally perpetuate this message? And where’s the line between venting and slipping into victimhood?

    This is not a conversation about perfection—it’s about presence, permission, and creating safe spaces for women to speak about motherhood. If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one navigating the messy, holy, exhausting, and beautiful reality of being a mom, this episode will remind you: you’re not alone.

  • Ep. 17: The Sacred Pause

    While I never meant for "the sacred pause" to become a thing, it's catching on with my friends and Instagram audience! I'd call it something else but it truly has become a sacred time in my day where I pause everything and tune in! 

     

    On this episode of Simplify, I answer the commonly asked question among new followers and listeners: "What is this sacred pause?" and share how powerful just 3 minutes of tuning in can be with 3 of my own "sacred pause thoughts" and takeaways.

  • Ep. 16: Money, Motherhood, and Trusting in God with Alicia Wood and Megan Teerlink

    I sit down with Alicia Wood and Megan Teerlink to talk about money, motherhood, and what it means to live in alignment with God’s abundance.

    We each come from different seasons and stories:

    • I’ve been mostly a stay-at-home mom, earning sporadically, and have discovered that contributing financially can also be an energetic offering.

    • Megan runs a thriving coaching practice while homeschooling her four kids, navigating limited time but experiencing firsthand how God magnifies her efforts and opens doors.

    • Alicia shares her journey from dual income and financial ease to becoming a single mom and sole provider—offering a unique and deeply faithful perspective on carrying the full weight of provision.

      Together, we explore "wealth consciousness", God’s provision, the miracles that come when we trust Him, and the truth that we are co-creators with God through our beliefs. We also wrestle with the balance—staying present for what matters most while pursuing our passions, businesses, and financial callings.

      This is an honest, Spirit-filled conversation about believing bigger, receiving God’s abundance, and walking in faith as mothers who want to both nurture our homes and prosper in our callings.

    • Ep.15: Finding Peace in Your Finances with John Lawrence

      What if the secret to financial freedom starts with loving your life right now?

      In this conversation with licensed financial planner and advisor John Lawrence, we dive into the surprising connection between happiness and wealth. We talk about why enjoying your life as it is today is one of the most powerful moves you can make for your financial future, and how shame around money quietly influences the way we spend.

      John brings the logical, numbers-driven side of finances, while I introduce him to the world of wealth consciousness—the energetic, mindset-based approach to money. Together, we explore how to create a financial plan that fits your unique temperament, helps you sleep at night, and lets you enjoy the journey.

      You’ll hear practical and inspiring insights on:

      • The “happiness problem” and why joy is a wealth-building strategy

      • How to recognize and release money shame

      • Bridging the gap between analytical planning and abundance mindset

      • Finding your personal “sleep-at-night” plan

      • Steps to retire in your fifties

      • Why your financial situation is not a reflection of your intelligence

        Whether you love spreadsheets or prefer vision boards, this episode will help you take charge of your money in a way that feels grounded, joyful, and entirely your own.

      • Ep. 14: The Art of Shame-Free Living with Crystal Haitsma

        What if it was possible to never yell at your kids again?

        What if the root of your biggest parenting triggers isn’t your child’s behavior — but your own unhealed shame?

        Crystal Haitsma, formerly The Parenting Coach and now the host of The Art of Shame-Free Living, joins us for an eye opening conversation and shares how shame shows up in motherhood and how it quietly fuels our reactions, our exhaustion, and our self-doubt. We explore how shame disconnects us from both ourselves and the Spirit — and how recognizing it will reclaim peace and connection in our homes.

        We talk about:

        • How to recognize shame in real-time (and what it sounds like in your head)

        • Why triggers are invitations, not problems

        • Simple mindset shifts to begin living and leading from love instead of fear

          This episode is tender, honest, and deeply freeing. I sit and process in real time and I hope you do, too! Whether you’re in the thick of parenting or navigating your own inner critic, this conversation will soften your heart and realign your focus.

        • Ep. 13: Where Faith Meets Healing with Lacey Jervis

          In this episode, I’m joined by Lacey Jervis, a Christ-centered somatic practitioner, for a deeply moving and soulful conversation on healing — not just in mind, but in body and spirit.

          We explore:

          • What somatic work really is, and how it differs from traditional “top-down” approaches

          • How trauma is stored in the body — and what happens when it’s finally released

          • Why Jesus belongs in the center of our healing journey

          • How to experience Christ, not just believe in Him

          • Making space in your nervous system and your life for peace, presence, and the Spirit

            This is a conversation for the woman who loves the Lord, is doing the inner work, and is ready to be truly transformed — from the inside out.

          • Ep. 12: Feed Your Family (Without Losing Your Mind) with Kate Curtis

            In this episode, I’m joined by Kate Curtis from Full Plate Plan to talk all things dinner — not just what’s on the plate, but how to simplify the entire process so you can actually enjoy your evenings again.

            We dive into:

            • Why the “What’s for dinner?” question doesn’t have to feel like a daily crisis

            • How to create a simple, repeatable dinner system that works for your family

            • Smart and sustainable ways to grocery shop (including Costco!) that won’t leave you with food waste or overwhelm 

            • Practical ideas for involving kids in the kitchen and giving them lifelong confidence with food

            • The heart behind it all: making room for peace, presence, and connection at the dinner table

            • Ep. 11: Systems that Stick (for Real Life Moms) with Allison Converse

              If Pinterest systems don't work for you ... listen to this! 

              In this episode, I’m joined by Allison Converse, founder of Calm Cottage Coaching and an ADHD home + systems coach helping moms find more flow and function in their everyday lives. Together, we unpack the real reasons why “working harder” isn’t always the answer — and why trendy Instagram organizing hacks often don’t lead to sustainable change.

              We explore:

              • The emotional layers of decluttering

              • Why we hold on to things (even when we’re ready to let go)

              • How ADHD affects home management and what systems actually support you

              • What really happens when you create space — in your home and in your soul

                If you're tired of feeling behind in your own home and ready to simplify in a way that honors your real life (not a Pinterest version of it), this conversation is for you.
