Hey Mama, I’m happy you’re here! :) Are you feeling overstimulated? Do you love being a mama to your precious littles, but the never-ending cycle of cooking, cleaning, and crying is wearing you down? Are you struggling to spend time with the Lord and grow in your faith while managing the chaos of life? Are you tired of trying to keep up with all the momfluencers you see online, always swiping up for links, programs, and tips that promise to make your life better? Maybe you find yourself thinking, “I’ll be right there!”—I’ll lose those 15 lbs! I’ll manage my home perfectly! I’ll start working out regularly and eating healthily! “I’ll be right there!” all while looking around and feeling like you’re being left in the dust by all the mamas you see around you actually “doing it.” Well, ME TOO. Hi, I’m Sunni Raitz, mom of 2 and self-proclaimed self-improvement addict. My friends have dubbed me the “go-to girl” for all things information. Want to know random facts about baby-led weaning, home decor, or the benefits of grounding??? I got you. I’ve listened to hours of podcasts, read countless blogs, taken online courses, and more, but even with all this information, I’ve STRUGGLED to find peace and contentment.

    marriage + littles: where we are at and what is actually helping us right now / ft. Jonathan Raitz

    Marriage in the little kids years can feel really full and if I’m honest, sometimes really stretching. In this episode, my husband and I sit down for a simple, honest conversation about what this season of marriage actually looks like for us right now. No perfect systems. No polished answers. Just what’s been helping us stay connected, support each other, and keep Jesus at the center in the middle of busy days, tired nights, and everything in between. We talk about: * What this season has felt like for both of us * What’s actually helping our marriage day-to-day * Some of the harder parts we’ve had to walk through * Encouragement for other couples in the thick of it My hope is that this episode feels like you’re sitting at the table with us—and that you walk away feeling encouraged, seen, and reminded that you’re not alone in this season. love, The Raitz This is a public episode.

  4. 48. I believe this is the first step to truly discipling your children...

    APR 2

    48. I believe this is the first step to truly discipling your children...

    This episode is a little more personal and honestly… a little more convicting. I’ve been asking myself this question lately: How can I disciple my children if I am not a disciple??? Am I actually a disciple of Jesus… or do I just try to do the right things? Because if I’m honest, a disciple isn’t just someone who believes or learns—it’s someone who follows. Someone whose life is actually being transformed. And somewhere along the way, in the middle of motherhood and trying to do everything right, I think I’ve drifted into focusing more on being a “good mom” than being a surrendered follower. In this episode, I share a conversation I had with a friend that reminded me how deeply our kids are shaped by the way we live. Motherhood is discipleship. We are showing them what matters every single day—through our words, our reactions, our habits. And it led me to this hard but honest question:Is my life actually reflecting Jesus? We talk about what it means to be a disciple—not perfectly, but with real transformation. And the one word I keep coming back to is surrender. Letting go of the things we hold tightly.Even the small things.Even the things that feel harmless. This isn’t about being extreme or legalistic—it’s about being open. About getting to a place where we can honestly tell the Lord:“You can have anything.” Because what if the peace we’re craving… the joy we’re longing for… is on the other side of that kind of surrender? I’m not sharing this from a place of having it all figured out. I’m right in the middle of this with you. And my prayer is that this episode simply opens our hearts to ask:“Lord, what are You inviting me to lay down?” xoxo, Sunni This is a public episode.

    47. Creating a peaceful home you love (yes, even with little kids)

    So often as moms, we feel overwhelmed by our homes and think, “this is just the season I’m in.” But our environment matters. It shapes how we feel, how we function, and the atmosphere our families live in every day. Also, I believe stewarding what the lord has given us is one of the highest callings. In this episode, I’m sharing a few simple ways to begin creating a home that feels more peaceful, calm, and life-giving—right where you are. The nitty gritty * Decluttering visual clutter (starting with your countertops) * Creating “homebases” with trays to simplify spaces * Using lamps instead of overhead lighting * Finding your personal style (not Instagram’s) * Decorating one room at a time * Romanticizing your everyday life in small ways Things Mentioned * Myquillyn Smith – The Five Stages of Decorating * Homeworthy YouTube Channel Final Thought Your home doesn’t have to be perfect to be peaceful. Start small, be intentional, and create a space that blesses your family. Thanks for reading Sunni Annelise! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.

    Hey mama 🤍 If you’ve been feeling frustrated because your old rhythms just aren’t working anymore this episode is for you.

    44. how to set & stick to goals as a busy mom

    Hey mama, In today’s episode, we’re talking about realistic goals for moms who feel discouraged by comparison and overwhelmed by the pressure to “do it all.” Using the picture of a garden, I share why small, faithful steps matter more than big, flashy routines—and how God uses ordinary, daily obedience to build a life of deep faith over time. If you’ve felt behind, this episode is a reminder that seeds always come before harvest. References * “Running one mile has more in common with running a marathon than sitting at home. Investing $100 has more in common with being a millionaire than being broke. Writing one sentence has more in common with writing a book than never writing one. It always feels small in the beginning and the big goals seem far away. It’s easy to talk yourself out of the early attempts because they feel kind of meaningless. But every race starts with one step. Every fortune starts with a small deposit. Every book begins as one sentence. The real question is not “What is my current position?” but rather, “What is my current trajectory?” Doing nothing builds nothing. Put yourself on the path to something better. Start small, but make sure you start.”*- james clear * Bible Recap (12-minute daily Bible plan) * Daily Devo+ * Hymn Playlist * One-line-a-day journal This is a public episode.
