    Ep 17 | Biblical Boundaries for Christian Moms: How to Be Where Your Feet Are (Without Guilt)

    Have you been feeling scattered, guilty, and pulled in every direction as a work-from-home mom or entrepreneur? You set a schedule and try to protect your time. Yet somehow you still feel behind at the end of everyday. And guilty. Guilty for working instead of being "just a mom". Guilty when you’re with your kids instead of "providing" for your family. In this episode of Time Management for Christian Moms, we’re talking about biblical boundaries — not in a vague or Pinterest-perfect or IG-worthy way, but in a practical, realistic way that actually works for moms balancing faith, family, and work from home. If your boundaries keep breaking no matter what you do, this episode will help you see the real issue more clearly — and give you a practical steps for boundary setting. As a former Program Manager in tech, I used to rely heavily on calendars, deadlines, and clear start-and-stop times. But working from home as a mom to three young children lends itself to constant interruptions, emotional pressure, and blurred lines. I've had to become very intentional. In this episode, we walk through why boundaries don’t fail because of a lack of discipline — but because of missing clarity, unplanned friction, and misaligned priorities. You’ll learn: Why boundaries fall apart when you haven’t prioritized what's most important in your current season How to plan for predictable interruptions like kids, notifications, and general overwhelm Why biblical stewardship is about priority, not balance How the biblical order of roles brings peace and reduces guilt How capacity-based planning helps boundaries become solid We’ll also talk about how Jesus modeled boundaries throughout Scripture — withdrawing to pray, saying no to crowds, and honoring the Father’s will — and why Christian moms don’t need to feel guilty for doing the same. This episode is especially helpful if you feel: Mentally exhausted or overwhelmed More reactive instead of proactive Always starting strong but struggling to follow through Pulled between work, home, and spiritual life with no clear separation If your boundaries keep breaking because your plans don’t match your reality, this episode will help you realign your time with your values — and finally be where your feet are, without guilt.

    Ep 14 | Simple Meal Planning for Busy Moms: A Low-Stress Weekly System That Actually Works

    Meal planning for busy moms shouldn’t feel overwhelming — but for so many families, dinner becomes the most stressful part of the day. In this episode, I’m breaking down my simple meal planning system for busy moms that I've used for the last decade. One that eliminates daily decision fatigue, reduces grocery store runs, and makes dinner feel manageable again — even during busy seasons with young kids. You’ll learn how to create a weekly meal planning rhythm that actually works in real life, without color-coded calendars, complicated prep routines, or cooking from scratch every single night. This system worked when I was working full-time in a demanding corporate role, and it still works now as a stay-at-home mom with multiple little ones at home. We’ll talk through practical meal planning tips for moms, including how to build a running meal list, plan leftovers on purpose, simplify decisions with themed dinner nights, and stock your kitchen with reliable staples so you’re never stuck at 4:30pm wondering what’s for dinner. This episode isn’t about eating perfectly or following rigid food rules. It’s about creating a low-stress home system that supports your rhythms, routines, and energy — so you can spend less time stressing about meals and more time present with your family. If you’re a mom who feels overwhelmed by meal planning and just wants an easy, repeatable dinner system, this episode will help you simplify, reset, and move forward with confidence!   Episode Mentions: Paperless App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/paperless-lists-checklists/id359564368 The Cross Legacy: https://thecrosslegacy.com/ Resources: FREE BIBLICAL PRODUCTIVITY PLANNER: https://multiply-the-five.kit.com/54000d3168 Biblical Time Management Devotional: https://multiply-the-five.kit.com/products/biblical-time-management-devotional Blog: https://multiplythefive.com/ Contact: Email: kirsten@multiplythefive.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/multiplythefive/
