    Ep. 74 | The Power of a 5 Year Journal

    In this episode of the 5 Minute Habits for Mom podcast, I'm sharing what might be my very favorite 5 minute habit — and I can't believe it has taken me 74 episodes to talk about it! Today we're diving into the beauty and simplicity of keeping a five-year journal. This tiny daily habit — just two or three sentences a day — has become one of the most meaningful practices in my life. It takes less than five minutes, yet it has created a treasure chest of memories, patterns, answered prayers, growth, and God's faithfulness woven throughout ordinary days. If there were ever a fire in my house… this journal is what I would run back in for. If you've been wanting to start journaling but feel overwhelmed, this is your invitation to begin small. Two sentences. Less than five minutes. A lifetime of treasure.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, busy, or constantly on the go, this episode invites you to slow down and sit with God for just 5 minutes. Through gentle breathing, awareness of God's creation, and quiet gratitude, you'll be guided into a space of peace, presence, and heaven on earth—right where you are. This practice may feel uncomfortable at first if you're not used to stillness, but with repetition, it can become a powerful daily habit that helps you feel more grounded, calm, and connected to God. I also share how pairing this practice with a calming essential oil like doTERRA Adaptiv can support deep breathing and help your nervous system relax as you move through your day with more patience and ease.

    Ep. 69 Emotional Well Being for the Holidays

    Today in episode 69, I'm sharing something especially close to my heart—the speech I recently gave to a group of single moms about nurturing emotional wellbeing during the holidays. Because let's be honest… The holidays can be beautiful, but they can also bring up stress, financial pressure, memories, loneliness, and all kinds of emotions we don't always expect. And sometimes, the very season that's supposed to be peaceful can feel overwhelming. In this episode, we're talking about: ✨ How your emotional health is directly connected to your children's wellbeing ✨ The true best gift you can give your kids this Christmas (hint: it isn't found in a store) ✨ How to slow your pace from the world's speed to God's speed ✨ Simple Five Minute Habits that help you feel grounded, calm, and connected ✨ What it really means to give your children the gift of your presence ✨ How focusing on the true meaning of Christmas brings peace into your home I share personal stories—times when I felt like I was drowning, seasons where yelling and overwhelm ruled my days, moments God rescued me, and how He continues to guide me in motherhood 13 years later. You'll hear research from the U.S. Surgeon General about parental stress, powerful biblical reminders of Jesus' unhurried pace, and practical tools that fit into real mom-life… even the messy parts. This episode is an invitation to: 🌿 slow down 🌿 breathe 🌿 reconnect with God 🌿 care for yourself alongside your children 🌿 create meaningful moments—not perfect ones 🌿 and remember that when you are okay, your kids have a much better chance of being okay too. Whether you're a single mom, a blended family mom, or anywhere in between, I hope these stories and tools remind you that God is with you, that you are not alone, and that emotional wellness is one of the greatest gifts you can give your home.
