    Staying Connected in Marriage While Raising Kids

    Send a text Last week’s episode about mom rage sparked so many honest messages from moms who felt seen and encouraged — thank you to everyone who reached out and shared your stories. If you haven’t listened yet, I would encourage you to go back and give it a listen. This week we’re shifting the conversation to something that often gets overlooked in busy family life: our marriages. When you’re raising kids, managing schedules, and juggling all the responsibilities of family life, it’s easy for your relationship to slip into the background. But strong families are built on strong marriages. In this episode I’m sharing how Micah and I stay connected through different seasons of life — from when our kids were little and bedtime meant couch conversations, to now with older kids and busy schedules where sometimes connection looks like a Costco run together. I also talk about the Alpha Marriage Course, why investing in your marriage matters, the importance of having friends who pray for your relationship, and four simple habits that help marriages stay strong. Whether you’re newly married, raising little ones, or navigating the teenage years, this episode is a reminder that your marriage is worth protecting, investing in, and fighting for. 4 things to do for your marriage this week 1.  Have fun together (laugh) 2. Look in each others eyes 3. Pray together 4. Physical Touch.  Adventure Challenge Date Book

    When Mom Rage Shows Up

    Send a text Last week on the podcast, my friend Crystal and I talked about something many moms experience but few talk about openly — mom anger. And then… I had a moment. After a full week of March break fun, exhaustion, noise, and overstimulation finally caught up with me. As we were packing up to leave our cottage, something inside of me snapped and I completely lost my temper with my family. The drive home was quiet — and my mind was loud with shame, guilt, and the feeling that maybe I had no right encouraging other moms when I still struggle too. But the Lord reminded me of something powerful I had done months earlier — burning a picture my kids once coloured of me as an angry, chained-up minion. That picture represented a lie about my identity. Yes, I have moments of anger.  Yes, I still mess up.  But that is not who I am. In this episode I’m sharing the full story — the moment at the cottage, the shame spiral that followed, and why repentance, humility, and grace matter so much in motherhood. If you've ever felt like your worst parenting moment defines you, this conversation is for you. You are not alone. And one hard moment does not make you a bad mom. Instagram Facebook

    Snow Days, Small Groups & Surviving Motherhood

    Send a text In this episode, I’m sitting down with one of my bestest friends, Crystal — a woman I met 13 years ago when we were both stay-at-home moms with little kids. With the “2016 trend” floating around social media, we started looking back at those early motherhood years — snow days, fancy hot chocolates, beach trips, small groups, and doing life side by side. And we realized something important: It wasn’t easier back then.  We just weren’t doing it alone. We talk honestly about:  🤍 Finding and pursuing real friendships  🤍 Mom anger and breaking shame  🤍 Marriage in the middle of motherhood  🤍 The pressure to compete with other moms  🤍 Transitioning from toddlers to teenagers (and adulthood!) This conversation is for the mom in the trenches, the mom stepping into a new season, and the mom who sometimes wonders if the “good old days” are behind her. Spoiler alert: They’re not. The good old days are happening right now too. If this episode resonates with you, share it with the friend who survived snow days with you. And don’t forget to follow the podcast and leave a review — it truly helps more than you know. 🤍
