    Porn, Loneliness, and Other Addictions with Greta Eskridge

    Welcome to Episode 128 of the Restoration Home Podcast. Greta Eskridge joins Jennifer to talk about her new book, It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn. This is a heavy topic, but one that must be discussed, especially as more and more often we learn that addiction stems from a lack of attunement and attachment in young children, which manifests as addiction in our teens and adults. So the process of teaching our children about so pervasive an addiction and giving them a strong sense of compassion, curiosity, and comfort as they face the ever increasing stresses of life must start when they are young. Greta and Jennifer bring so much honesty, vulnerability, and experience to this conversation. They address the extremes of of shame or the positions that say porn, or any other comfort strategy that abridges our pursuit of God or acquisition of comfort in a healthy way, is acceptable.  Heads Up: The conversation in this episode is between two moms, and its content is not designed for young listeners.   There was an audio issue, and the content was too good to miss, but was apologise for any annoyance.  Episode sponsored by the Peaceful Press!

    Shameless then Tidy with Dana K White

    Dana K White, the creator of A Slob Comes Clean, and author of many books on how to go from chaotic and cluttered brings such a unique perspective to Episode 126 of the Restoriaton Home. At the core of her message is the gospel truth that being clean and tidy doesn't bring you any closer to God, and being messy and chaotic doesn't push you farther away from Him. As Dana says: this isn't an excuse to have a messy house, but it should remove shame and remind us that nothing we do or don't do can add or detract from God's love for us and presence in our lives.  As we deal with the shame around whatever perceived lack we are operating in, we can begin to build those small habits and changes that will transform our external world to be more orderly, peaceable, and pleasant to be in. Dana's website, books, and Instagram are full of simple, gentle ways to start transforming your life one small piece at a time.  God is not in a rush with our process and neither should we be.  This podcast is made possible by the Peaceful Press!

    Productive and Peaceful with Chelsi Jo

    Chelsi Jo Moore, creator of the Systemize Your Life podcast, joins Jennifer Pepito for episode 125! As I have gotten older, I have realised more and more that the best parts of my life come from some automated back process and that having systems gives me time for what I love. But sometimes, knowing what system to create or how to start can be overwhelming! Chelsi Jo has made it her business to help moms maximise productivity through improved efficiency so that more of our mental space is free to connect with our children, build our dream business, or pursue our dream hobby.  We only have a finite amount of creative problem-solving energy every day. We can't keep using that precious energy putting out fires that could have been prevented through better systems, more thorough planning, or simply cutting out the unimportant stuff. Instead, we want to create a life with energy left at the end of the day to connect with our spouses, have those late-night conversations with our teenagers, and have that early morning gym session that makes us feel so alive.  We hope you walk away from this conversation inspired, invigorated, and ready to shape your life rather than be shaped by it.  This podcast is made possible by the Peaceful Press!
