At Home with Littles is a parenting podcast for stay-at-home moms who are figuring it out as they go—and aren’t afraid to admit it.  The first Tuesday of every month, join me, Katie Schultz for honest, heartfelt, and often hilarious conversations with fellow SAHMs about what’s actually working in the little years. Think clever hacks, mindset shifts, real talk, and the kind of support you wish came with the new job title. No mom has every aspect of staying home figured out (no matter what their feed says), but I believe every mom has a trick, a hack, or a little gem that makes life at home smoother. I’m gathering them here—so we can figure this thing out together. Follow along on our Instagram page: @AtHomeWithLittlesPod

    Ep 6: Brianna Gembol: Big Transitions, Burnout, and Time with God

    Brianna (SAHM, part-time assistant, and boy mom) joins Katie to talk about life with two energetic boys, from backyard bathroom breaks to living room paddleboard forts. She shares about a season of major transition—welcoming a second baby, moving from Tyler to Austin, and stepping into church ministry life—and what it looked like to rebuild community as a stay-at-home mom in a new city. Brianna opens up about balancing part-time work from home, the importance of getting out of the house, and how small rhythms like quiet time and a clean kitchen can shape her days. The two also talk about investing in rest through Mother’s Day Out, setting boundaries with toddlers, and how motherhood exposes a deeper need for patience, grace, and dependence on God. Brianna offers encouragement for moms in busy or lonely seasons, reminding them that even small moments with the Lord matter and that these days are full of answered prayers.

    Ep 4 : Abbie Roe (@3_in_a_Roe): Community, Mom Friends & Family Phrases

    Abbie Roe (@3_in_a_Roe) is a mom of two and passionate advocate for biblical motherhood, known for her family phrases, theology-filled songs, and thoughtfully curated weekly lists. Abbie joins Katie to share the whirlwind story of finding out she was pregnant one year into marriage, navigating a lonely postpartum season, and ultimately choosing to stay home. Abbie and Katie talk about building the community you wish existed—from chasing couples down in the church parking lot to hosting a chaotic, joy-filled Bible study complete with nursing babies and a chicken dance. They discuss willingly being inconvenienced for friends, meeting practical needs in motherhood, and why isolation isn’t the answer in the littles years. Abbie also shares the heart behind her intentional parenting scripts, modeling apology and reconciliation, and how her simple weekly list became a lifeline for purpose and joy in early motherhood.

    Ep 3: Sarah Pape on transitioning from teacher to SAHM

    Sarah Pape (mom of two, former high school teacher, writer, and pickleball enthusiast) is a stay-at-home mom learning to navigate the messy, refining work of motherhood. She joins host Katie Schultz to talk candidly about her transition from a deeply fulfilling teaching career into the unpredictable days at home with toddlers. Sarah opens up about the fears she carried into staying home, the comparisons that weighed her down, and the community that helped her find her footing. She shares how routines, small hobbies, and unhurried moments with her girls have become lifelines in a season that has stretched her identity and deepened her faith. Katie and Sarah talk through the tension of missing a former calling while embracing a new one, the surprising sanctification of laundry piles and toddler tantrums, and the freedom to parent without fitting into a mold. Together, they explore what it looks like to give yourself grace, lean into community, and discover joy in the ordinary rhythms of staying home.

Katie and Calynn swap stories about messy reality vs. Instagram perfection, the mental shift of fully owning the stay-at-home mom identity, and the balance between being “teacher” and simply “mom.” Calynn shares favorite traditions, practical tips, and why she believes every conversation with kids is a chance to teach. Together, they explore finding joy in the chaos, letting go of guilt, and building a childhood worth remembering—both for the kids and for the moms.   Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/athomewithlittlespod/
