Simple Rhythms for Busy Moms | Stay at Home Moms, Routines, Time Management, Intentional Motherhood, Simple Living, Biblical KyAnn Molina

Hi, friend!
In today’s episode, I’m sharing some practical tips and encouragement on finding a consistent quiet time routine as a new mom. If you really want to be setting aside the time each day to sit with the Lord, read your Bible, really set aside that time to be prioritizing your faith and relationship with the Lord and the reality is you’re not-maybe it’s been harder than you thought to find a consistent quiet time routine after becoming a mom, trying to find the time that you can sit and not be interrupted 557 times, it feels like you don’t even have enough time to just get done what needs to get done around the house before the end of the day and your quiet time is at the top of the list every day but it just keeps slipping through the cracks day after day. Or maybe you’re in a season where one week will be great in this area and you feel like you finally have it figured out and then the next is a total flop, it just feels all over the place depending on what is going on in your life. No matter where you fall here, this episode is for you and I can’t wait to get into it.
Struggling to find a consistent quiet time routine as a new mom is a VERY COMMON struggle. You are not alone in this. When I’m talking to both friends of mine in real life, new friends in my FB community, students in my course, this is a very common struggle that comes up often. I hear so many of my friends mention that they had a great quiet time routine prior to having kids, they were able to get up when they wanted or needed to on their own schedule, make a coffee, sit down in the quiet and have fully focused, intentional time with the Lord. And any of us that are moms know that that picture is not necessarily always the reality once little ones show up in the picture. 
Our schedule changes drastically, we have a tiny human(s) that need us 24/7 and there is never really a break from being a mom. Often, when we’re trying to set aside that time to have time with the Lord, a little one will wake up early or end up sick or teething or something will happen that will inevitably throw off the plan and we end up feeling like it just can never happen, everything is against us. I’m going to share some tips that have really transformed my mindset around quiet time as a mom, practical tips that have helped make that consistency actually happen as a regular rhythm in my life, and also some reality of what this actually looks like on both the “ideal days” and the not so ideal days. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!

Hi, friend!
In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 signs to watch out for that are red flags that you’re living beyond your capacity. We ALL experience times when we’ve piled too much on to our plates, we realize too late, and suddenly we’re in wayyy over our head and we feel like we’re drowning. This episode is going to give you some really practical things to watch out for to give you that warning light like the engine light on the car that something is out of alignment, we have a few things to adjust, or our car is going to end up spewing and sputtering on the side of the road stranded.
I have been in a spot of complete overwhelm in my life trying to balance it all and I just want to gently remind you that we were not made to simply survive each day. The Lord has so much more for us in motherhood than just continually counting down the hours until bedtime and then doing it again and again day after day. I believe there is so much joy and peace that we can find in our days as busy moms…but often, we have our lives set up behind the scenes in a way that the daily stress and overwhelm is continually cycling through on repeat. And a large contributing factor can be just not having taken the time or space to be really intentional to think through our priorities overall and whether those are being reflected in our daily rhythms and days overall.
Sometimes, we need to zoom in and get really close and personal and set up systems and rhythms to fix the zoomed in problems we’re seeing with solutions that work and sometimes, we need to zoom really far out and get a bird’s eye view of our life and the direction we’re headed. This episode is going to help you give you that zoomed out bird’s eye view of where you’re at in motherhood and life currently and kind of a gauge overall of where you’re headed. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!
KyAnn

Hi, friend!
In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you 4 ways to find 30 minutes to rest when you’re overcommitted. How to find small pockets of rest in really busy seasons when you are operating at max capacity, how to figure out what makes you feel truly rested, and some ideas of what specifically to do with this time.
Rest is one of the things that seems so unattainable and hard to implement in a season of little kids and so much going on, but rest truly is both a commandment and a gift. One of the most common things I hear is that moms of littles don’t know HOW to get done what needs to get done and somehow still find time to actually rest, there just isn’t enough time in the day, so we’re going to talk about specifically how to find those small pockets THIS WEEK that will make a huge impact for you.
Rest as a busy mom is HARD. Trust me, you are not the only one struggling to implement rest and constantly feeling like you are pouring from an empty (sometimes feels like bone dry empty, no liquid left) cup. I hear moms say all the time that it just feels like a never-ending battle…either you choose to get done what needs to get done or you choose to rest, but the balance of staying on top of what needs to be done around the house, managing your family’s schedule, taking care of the kids, plus a side biz or passion on the side that needs regular attention also and suddenly, every single day you’re coming to the end of the day realizing that you didn’t take even 15-30 minutes to just chill, rest, recoup, BREATHE the entire day. 
I get it and I have been there. If you are in a season right now where you can feel deep in your bones that you are being pushed past your capacity and you just sort of feel like you’re teetering a little bit trying to manage it all, you know you may have overcommitted a bit (not intentionally, but now you’re realizing it just feels like a little too much), but yet, you’re in it now and it’s going to be really busy for the next little bit…HOW can you find small pockets of time to rest and not absolutely lose your mind trying to push through this season? This episode is for you, my friend, I’m so glad you’re here. We’re going to dive into how to actually help you get a few minutes of rest throughout your week, even in the midst of SUCH a busy season right now. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!
KyAnn

Hi, friend!
In today’s episode, I am going to be walking you through the #1 reason you’re never crossing off your to do list….aka: through the perspective of the #1 reason that I personally have not been crossing off my to do list the past few days and what the Lord is teaching me through it. This is going to be a real, raw, vulnerable conversation and I am here for it.
If you can never seem to cross off your to do list day after day, struggle with finding balance in your days, knowing what needs to get done in your home and life, or even being as present as you want to with your family, I GET IT. Trust me, I have been there and I’m sharing one of the main contributors to procrastination and not being productive in our days as stay at home moms. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!
KyAnn

Hi, friend!
In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through 4 essential systems to keep a tidy home daily. How to reset your home so you’re not going to bed with MORE of a mess to start the day with tomorrow, why taking small steps is so important, and the systems to make having people drop in unexpectedly so much easier so you’re not frantically shoving laundry in all the closets and trying to clear off the couch just for them to have a place to sit down, even when people drop in in the middle of the day unannounced. We’re not going for perfection here, but at least a baseline foundation that feels lived in, yes, but not like you just dropped into an episode of a hoarders show.
I know that you’ve been frustrated because you WANT to keep up on your home so you can enjoy living in your home and not feeling like you can’t even relax because there are things piling up everywhere and you don’t know where to start. But, you’re not even sure what systems you need to make sure you’re staying on top of just generally maintaining your home day to day, where to start, how to make it less overwhelming, what that actually looks like.
I was in exactly that spot a few years ago and I started trying to figure out what specific systems we needed to have in place to simply maintain a tidy, orderly home. Not perfection-if you come over to my house mid-day, you’ll for sure find toys on the ground, dishes in the sink, and possibly even laundry waiting to be folded on my bed, but 95% of the time, we can do a quick whole house tidy up in 30 minutes or less, usually 15 minutes or less to get back to a manageable level. I’m sharing the daily systems that I utilize to make maintaining our home on a very basic level manageable day to day so that it’s not endlessly piling up and driving me absolutely crazy. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!
KyAnn

Hi, friend!
In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to divide some of the load that falls on us as moms to share that responsibility with our spouse. How to communicate and get on the same page in managing your home and family, systems to break old pitfalls that you KEEP falling into, and how to even start the conversation.
I know that you are struggling to get it all done and honestly just feel like most days, you’re adding more items on to the to do list than actually checking any off. Balancing motherhood, homemaking, and business is HARD, but then you add extra busy seasons or circumstances out of your control and it just feels like too much. You want to partner with your husband to really become a team in managing it all, but you don't know where to start.
You know that your husband WANTS to help, but you’re getting stuck in the same old cycle of having too much on your plate, getting to your breaking point and telling your husband you just need help, and then feeling so frustrated time and time again when he isn’t doing ANYTHING that you asked him to help with. Except that more than likely, you probably haven’t actually vocalized ANY specific things you need help with, you just word vomited all your stress and overwhelm and expected him to know exactly how to step in and help and save the day. Spoiler alert: this was me for so many years and welp, husbands aren’t mind readers. They just aren’t. I’m going to share the communication strategies that we’ve learned by much trial and error in the past 9 years of our marriage that has completely TRANSFORMED this cycle and allowed us to really healthily share the workload and expectations in our marriage, especially in really busy or stressful seasons. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!
Hugs!
KyAnn
