Get ready to find your groove and bust a move because you are about to dance it out with Annie Leigh!
Annie Leigh Edwards is a pastor’s wife, mom of three, writer, motivational coach, and a firm believer that life is better when you’re dancing the kitchen. Like our kitchens, life is messy - but it doesn’t have to keep us from enjoying the daily grind.
Dancing in the Kitchen podcast will be like a dance party with good friends. All the pressure is off. Wherever life finds you - whether it’s wiping booties or writing books, folding laundry or commuting, when you are feeling it (and especially when you are not) this podcast is for you.
Dancing in the Kitchen offers interviews with some of your favorite authors, speakers, and artists. It includes conversations/ramblings with Annie Leigh and her friends as they “break it down” and share personal stories of failing forward and practical tips to do life. Be prepared to hear topics related to Gospel-centered living, parenting, depression, sex, marriage, cultivating friendships, healthy living, meal planning, and of course, pop culture.
Each episode will equip you to focus on what matters most and live with intentionality, resolve, and confidence. Discover that true joy and the power to change comes from living inside-out. We will learn to be content in our current season of life, all while dreaming big for the glory of God.
Together, we will be inspired to treat life more like a dance floor and less like a boxing ring (which means less bruises, and more fun).

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast
I love listening to this podcast on my morning runs. Love her honesty and she is so encouraging as we go through the Christian life.
Fun podcast- could use some edits
I like this podcast- she seems so genuine and relatable regarding her faith. Perhaps less random small talk the first 30 min would be great, & more targeted questions. Sometimes it feels like just listening to two people shoot the breeze at first with little regard to the benefit of the audience. Maybe if a description of the guest could be read at the beginning, it could eliminate the excess talk at the front end. The second half is always better than the first.
Loved the Let's talk about sex segment
Thank you for sharing your heart and giving a Godly response to how wives should view sex. It's a win win for our marriages when we submit our bodies to our husbands. It's a loss for the enemy who tries very hard to keep us our of bed with our husbands once we are married. Hope to hear more of these wonderful messages. Looking forward to the upcoming guest as well.
