    Messy Homes, Boundaries & Jesus: A Real Talk with Whitney English

    In this episode of Confidence and Coffee, Ashley sits down with her friend Whitney English (author, creative, entrepreneur, and all-around wise woman) to get brutally honest about how our homes reflect our hearts. They talk about:  💛 Why perfectionism often comes from old wounds  💛 How our need to control our homes can create unintentional wounds in our kids  💛 The difference between apologizing to feel better vs. actually repenting and changing  💛 Setting healthy boundaries in your home (even with guests & kids’ friends!)  💛 Why messy homes (and messy hearts) don’t disqualify us from God’s love  💛 Finding real beauty and stewardship in minimalism vs. maximalism  💛 How Jesus still meets us in our empty fridges, overdrafted bank accounts, and imperfect lives Whitney shares behind-the-scenes stories from her book Organize First, Decorate Second... plus why she believes gratitude is the birthplace of joy. If you’re a perfectionist, a mama trying to keep it all together, or just someone who’s craving more peace and less chaos, this conversation is for you. ✨ Listen & let us know your thoughts: What area of your life are you learning to release perfectionism?If you were a dinosaur, which one would you be? 😂 (Whitney picked brontosaurus, Ashley picked triceratops... yes, it’s a thing.) 🔗 Links Mentioned: Whitney’s new book: Organize First, Decorate SecondWhitney’s first book: A More Beautiful LifeFollow Whitney on Instagram: @whitneyenglishWhitney’s Substack: Whitney English on SubstackSupport the show Connect with Ashley: Order Ashley's New Book Confidence Is An Inside Job Apply for Coaching with Ashley Connect with Ashley to be your Next Speaker!
