    🎙 Episode 4: From Santa Stress to Sacred Traditions: A Real Talk on Holiday Legacy

    What does it look like to move from Santa stress to sacred traditions that actually shape faith—not just fill calendars? In this NanaGram episode, we sit down with our dear friend Kerry Perry for a heartfelt, often hilarious conversation about Christ-centered Christmas traditions, meaningful Advent practices, and what it really means to become an intentional grandmother in this season of life. Kerry shares how her family gradually shifted from Santa- and Elf-focused holiday rhythms to Scripture-anchored traditions that point clearly to Jesus—and how those choices have shaped her children and grandchildren over time. We talk about handmade ornaments, reading Scripture as a family, Advent resources that grow with your kids, and how to lovingly come alongside adult children as they build their own families. Kerry also opens up about her personal faith journey, the mentors who gently discipled her, and why prayer, presence, and consistency have become central to the legacy she’s building. This episode is full of wisdom, laughter, and practical encouragement for women who love family traditions but want something deeper than holiday hustle. In this episode, we cover: Shifting Christmas traditions to keep Christ at the centerAdvent practices that work for kids, teens, and familiesWhy Scripture-based traditions matter over timeBecoming an intentional grandmother without oversteppingSpeaking life and identity over children and grandchildrenHow legacy is built through presence, prayer, and consistencyWhy mentorship and “walking alongside” matter at every ageWhether you’re a grandmother, a mom with older kids, or someone longing to create faith-rooted family rhythms, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, refocus, and embrace traditions that truly last. 🌿 NanaGram — Richly Rooted.

    🎧 Episode 3 – Feeling Stuck? How to Embrace Change with Faith & Clarity

    In today’s NanaGram episode, we sit down with life coach and author Nicole Horsch for a deep, hope-filled conversation about embracing the new seasons God brings. Whether you’re stepping into grandmotherhood, navigating the empty nest years, or simply wondering what God is doing in this chapter of your life, this episode offers wisdom, clarity, and encouragement for your heart. Nicole shares how God is always doing something new (Isaiah 43:19) and how we can learn to perceive it instead of resisting it. She walks us through the difference between counseling and coaching, why so many women get stuck in familiar patterns, and what it looks like to move from overthinking into clarity and confidence. You’ll hear stories from Nicole’s own journey, insights from her training as a Christian life coach, and practical tools for noticing what God is doing in your everyday life. We also explore:  • What keeps women from embracing new seasons  • How to discern the patterns that keep us stuck  • Why Deuteronomy 30:19 is a life-changing coaching verse  • What “choosing life” really means in our daily decisions  • How identity, boundaries, and biblical truth shape our next chapter  • Ways to recognize God’s movement in the ordinary and the messy  • How Christian life coaching brings clarity and confidence  • What to do when you feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or resistant to change This conversation is filled with laughter, Scripture, honesty, and the kind of wisdom you only gain from walking closely with the Lord through many seasons. If you’re a young-ish grandmother, a woman rediscovering herself in midlife, or someone craving direction and spiritual grounding, you’ll find so much encouragement here. NanaGram exists to help women live richly rooted and growing wild — anchored in God’s truth while embracing every new season with joy. This episode with Nicole is a beautiful reminder that God has not stopped writing your story, and He has fresh purpose, movement, and abundant life waiting for you.

    The Sweet Season of Grandparenting: Legacy, Hospitality, and Iron-Sharpens-Iron Friendships

    What does it look like to step into the “sweet season” of grandparenting while still juggling teens, adult children, and real-life responsibilities? In this first episode, we talk about embracing new seasons with faith and intention—reading Philippians 1:9–11 and asking God to help us discern what really matters. From golf lessons and engagement photos on a rainy day to learning new skills and hosting craft nights, we explore how to invest in multi-generational community, create a quiet mind in a noisy world, and show up for our families without overstepping. We laugh about tabs (so many tabs!), share why grandparents feel like “icing on the cake,” and get practical about being a complement—not a replacement—to parents’ wishes.
