    How Self-Awareness Can Simplify Your Life | An Enneagram Conversation with Amy Wicks

    Have you ever taken the Enneagram quiz… and immediately wondered if you actually got your type right? You’re not alone! This week, I’m chatting with Enneagram coach Amy Wicks (The Wholehearted Enneagram) about why the Enneagram is so much more than a personality test, it’s a tool for understanding the why behind your thoughts, habits, fears, and relationships.  We talk about why so many women mistype themselves (I definitely did!), how each of the nine types is motivated differently, and the simple “tiny tweak” every type can make to grow in confidence, connection, and self-compassion. Whether you’re brand new to the Enneagram or already know your number, this conversation will help you better understand yourself, love the people around you more intentionally, and maybe even give yourself a little more grace along the way.

    The Mental Load of Motherhood: How to Feel Less Overwhelmed with Dr. Morgan Cutlip

    Have you ever felt like you’re carrying the invisible weight of your family while quietly wondering, “When is it going to be my turn”? You’re not alone. In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with psychologist, author, and mom Dr. Morgan Cutlip to unpack the mental load so many women carry every single day.  We talk about why moms so easily lose themselves in the demands of family life, how guilt and impossible expectations keep us stuck, and why waiting for permission to prioritize yourself often means waiting forever.  Dr. Morgan shares practical, grace-filled strategies for communicating your needs, setting healthy boundaries, navigating the emotional labor of motherhood, and redefining what self-care really looks like beyond bubble baths and spa days. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by summer schedules, struggling with mom guilt, or simply craving a little more peace in the middle of the chaos, this conversation is full of encouraging reminders and simple, actionable tweaks that will help you reclaim your momentum, one small step at a time.

    Mid-Summer Reset: What's Working for Our Family This Summer (And What's Not)

    Summer rarely goes exactly as planned….and that’s okay. In this episode, I’m sharing an honest halfway-through-the-summer update on what’s actually working in our home, what hasn’t gone according to plan, and the tiny tweaks that are helping us navigate a season full of unexpected schedule changes, backyard construction, growing kids, and shifting expectations. From realizing I don’t have to be part of every childhood memory to giving myself permission to lower the bar on hard days, I’m reflecting on the mindset shifts that have brought more peace and flexibility into our summer. I also share practical updates on our family rhythms, including how kid-made lunches, sibling lunch dates, family dinners, screen time boundaries, weekly planning, and kids doing their own laundry are all playing out in real life. You’ll hear what we’ve had to adjust, what surprised me the most (hello, grocery bill!), and why asking one simple question—“What do I need right now?” has become my favorite tiny tweak for navigating a season that feels wonderfully full but often outside my control. If your summer hasn’t looked exactly how you imagined, I hope this episode reminds you that you don’t need a perfect plan, you just need the flexibility to make small, intentional adjustments along the way.

    What Kind of Rest Do You Need Right Now?

    Summer is supposed to feel restful, yet so many of us reach the end of the season feeling more exhausted than when it began.  Today I’m sharing what I’ve been learning about rest after working through burnout, inflammation, and the realization that I had unknowingly tied my sense of purpose to productivity. Through conversations with my counselor, doctor, and business coach, I’ve discovered that rest is about so much more than sleep. I’m diving into the seven different types of rest: physical, mental, sensory, creative, social, emotional, and spiritual, and sharing the simple, practical ways I’m learning to recognize and build them into my everyday life.  From brain dumps and morning porch time to friend dates and putting my phone away, these tiny tweaks have helped me stop chasing the idea of rest and start practicing it instead. If you’ve been feeling tired, overstimulated, or stretched thin, this episode will help you identify what kind of rest you actually need and encourage you to create more space for it without guilt. Because rest isn’t lazy, it’s one of the most purposeful things we can do for ourselves and the people we love.

    Scott & Erin: What 20 Years of Marriage Has Taught Us

    This week I’m joined by a VERY special guest, my husband, Scott as we celebrate 20 years of marriage and reflect on the lessons we’ve learned through two decades of life together.  From raising four kids and navigating financial struggles to walking through adoption, heartbreak, personal growth, and everything in between, we share an honest conversation about what has strengthened our marriage over the years. We talk about the importance of friendship, communication, prayer, mentorship, and the small everyday moments that often matter more than grand gestures.  You’ll hear us discuss hard seasons we’ve faced, how we’ve changed for the better, what we hope our children learn from our relationship, and why laughter continues to be one of the most important ingredients in our marriage. Whether you’re newly married, deep in the parenting years, or simply looking for encouragement to invest in your closest relationships, this candid anniversary conversation is full of practical wisdom, heartfelt reflections, and a reminder that strong marriages are built one small, intentional choice at a time.

    How I Feed My Family All Summer Without Spending All Day in the Kitchen

    Summer may be full of sunshine and slower schedules, but if you’re the one responsible for feeding everyone all day long, it can also feel like an endless cycle of meals, snacks, and dishes. In this episode, I’m sharing the simple systems that help me keep food manageable during the summer months, from our family’s “burger of the week” tradition and cook-once-eat-twice meal strategy to kid-led lunches, snack baskets, and even the occasional 3 p.m. ice cream celebration. These practical ideas not only reduce decision fatigue and lighten your mental load, but they also help kids build independence and valuable life skills along the way. If you’re looking for realistic ways to simplify meal planning, make summer meals more fun, and create meaningful family connections around the table, this episode is packed with easy tweaks that can make a big difference.
