    Where I’ve been

    Hi! And welcome back! And today’s episode I talk about why I’ve been a little bit absent from the social media world. Sometimes it’s best to recognize what works during a season and what needs to be removed and how it’s ok to not always do everything. I hope you can be encouraged to know it’s ok to set things down to focus on what’s in front of you instead of what’s going on around you

    How to have peace that lasts-even when life changes

    I’m so excited to welcome you into Season 5 of Motherhood on Mondays with a brand new, encouraging episode all about peace that lasts—even when life feels uncertain or constantly changing. As millennials, we hear so much about mental health, trauma, therapy, and the importance of “protecting your peace.” While those conversations matter, have you ever stopped to ask—what does the Bible actually say about peace? In this episode, we take a deeper look at Scripture to uncover where true, lasting peace comes from and why guarding your peace may not be the biblical call we think it is. Instead, we’ll explore what Scripture tells us we are truly meant to guard—and it might surprise you. If you’re feeling weary, anxious, or craving something steadier than circumstantial peace, this episode is for you. Let’s reset our hearts, anchor ourselves in truth, and step into a peace that isn’t fragile—but firmly rooted in Christ.

    “Don’t Grow Weary: Finishing 2025 Faithful and Stepping into 2026 with Hope”

    2025 was a year of growth, stretching, and refinement-both personally and relationally. In this final episode of the year, we talk honestly about what it feels like to keep choosing obedience when it would be easier to grow weary, especially when others around us aren’t choosing to follow God. This episode is a reminder that doing good is never wasted, faithfulness always matters, and God sees every quiet act of obedience. As Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” As we step into 2026, we cling to the hope that comes from trusting Him fully-believing He is still working, still refining, and still faithful.

    Going against the grain: how we make a one income lifestyle work and choose faith over a paycheck

    In today’s episode, I’m sharing a very honest conversation about choosing a slower, simpler path in a culture that constantly tells us to do more, earn more, and hustle harder. Staying home with our kids on one income hasn’t been easy. It has required sacrifice, intentional choices, and a complete shift in perspective about what truly matters. Today, I’m sharing how our family learned to reframe success, steward our finances differently, and trust God with less margin but deeper purpose. This choice may look counter cultural, but we truly believe that investing our time, presence, and discipleship into our children now is an investment in their future. Not because it’s perfect or glamorous, but because faithfulness often looks quiet and unseen. If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between culture’s expectations and the calling you feel for your family, this episode is for you.

    Living Counter-Culturally: Why I chose to not make money from my social media

    In this week’s episode, I’m sharing openly about a decision God led my husband and I to, choosing not to monetize my social media, even though it’s what culture sees as normal, smart, and expected. As a creator who’s been in the motherhood space, everyone has a linked in to their Amazon storefronts, their mlms, and daily posting of business links and affiliate codes is seen as a norm. Why wouldn’t you want to make extra money right? We live in a world that constantly tells us to build, grow, hustle, and monetize every corner of our lives. But as followers of Christ, we’re called to live set apart, even when it doesn’t make sense to others. This episode is about obedience over opportunity, surrender over strategy, and trusting that God’s ways are always higher than our own. I’m inviting you into the behind-the-scenes of my decision, what God has been teaching me, and how we can all pursue a counter-cultural faith in a culture that pushes us to do the opposite. Tune in for an honest, heart-level conversation about calling, obedience, and living for God over the algorithm

    It’s Hard, But Worth It: Tips for Leaving the House with Kids and why you shouldn’t avoid it

    In today’s episode, “It’s Hard, But Worth It: Tips for Leaving the House with Kids,” I’m sharing my heart as a more seasoned mom who has learned—sometimes the hard way—why getting out of the house matters. It’s tempting to stay home because outings feel overwhelming, unpredictable, and exhausting. But avoiding the hard things doesn’t serve us or our children in the long run. I want to encourage you, mama: leaving the house is not just about errands or activities. It’s about training our little ones, shaping their character, and teaching them how to navigate the world with grace and self-control. Yes, it takes work. Yes, it can feel messy. But the effort we sow today will produce a beautiful harvest in the future. I’ll share practical tips that have helped me make outings smoother, as well as the mindset shifts that changed everything for me. My hope is that you’ll feel equipped, encouraged, and reminded that you were made for this season—and God’s strength is with you in every diaper bag packing session, every car seat meltdown, and every moment you choose growth over comfort. Tune in and be encouraged. You’re doing better than you think.

    We did it to ourselves. Why women have been their own downfall

    Today we are talking about the downfall of motherhood and femininity… women. I’ve been in the motherhood space for a long time and seeing worrying patterns. Trading hard for convenience. Unwilling to personally sacrifice for what’s best for our kids and blaming it on the world instead of the real culprit-women and feminism. We embraced progressivism as best and rejected Gods Biblical design and now we are burnt out and more depressed then ever. Is it really a surprise? Today join me as I talk about how it all goes back to the very beginning and how we need to embrace the hardships of motherhood as good and how we need to stop having our kids pay the price for our laziness
