Simple Rhythms for Busy Moms | SAHM, Routines, Biblical Motherhood, Balance, Schedules, Work-Life Balance, Productivity

There’s a lie almost every high-achieving mom believes at some point: “I’ll figure this out after this launch…after this season…after things slow down.” In this episode, we’re naming that cycle for what it really is—borrowing from future you to survive today. If you feel successful on paper but stretched thin in real life, this conversation will put language to the tension you’ve been carrying.

We’ll walk through three foundational...

I had a conversation recently with a highly successful business owner and mom of two who put words to something I hear all the time. She told me it feels like she’s constantly switching personas—one minute she’s deeply in client work, fully focused and solving problems, and the next she’s standing in the kitchen trying to cook dinner and connect with her kids…while her brain is still completely stuck in work mode.

She’s building th...

If you feel like your to-do list never actually gets done—just rewritten day after day—this episode is for you. We’re unpacking why traditional to-do lists quietly drain your mental energy, how unfinished tasks create constant “open loops” in your brain, and why that low-grade stress makes it feel like you’re never caught up. You’ll learn why the issue isn’t productivity or discipline, but the way your tasks are being stored, prior...

Have you ever packed away the Christmas decorations, swept up the last bit of glitter, and felt that quiet drop of “okay…now what?” In this episode, we’re talking about that familiar post-holiday feeling—when the coziness fades and life slips back into routines that don’t always feel life-giving. Especially if you’re someone who’s been living for the next launch, the next break, or the next milestone, that return to “normal” can fe...

In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, we’re talking about what not to repeat next Christmas and how small reflections now can create a lighter, more intentional holiday later. This episode focuses on noticing what felt heavy, what worked well, and how simple 1% shifts can meaningfully change the experience of the season—not by doing more, but by adjusting what already exists.

You’ll learn how to capture notes for your future sel...

The holiday season fills up fast, especially for high-achieving entrepreneur moms who are used to carrying a lot. In this episode, I talk about why the real issue isn’t time—it’s energy. Every invitation, responsibility, and “good thing” pulls from a limited reserve, and when we say yes to everything, we often end up drained, overextended, and unable to actually enjoy the season with our people. I share why every “yes” is also a “n...

The holidays have a way of quietly piling on expectations — more traditions, more events, more spending, more pressure to make everything magical. In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a different approach: creating a Holiday To-Don’t List. Instead of asking yourself what else you can squeeze in, we’re talking about how to intentionally protect your capacity so you can actually enjoy this season. I’m sharing why this practice h...

Have you ever felt a pull to open your home more often — to create a place of connection, comfort, and belonging — but weren’t sure where to begin? In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with someone who has inspired me deeply over the years: Renee Higgins. Renee is a wife of eleven years, homeschool mama to five little ones (including toddler twins!), and a woman who embodies biblical hospitality in the most simple, faithful, and ap...

Have you ever noticed how your capacity grows most in the moments that stretch you — not sweep you under? In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing a recent high-ticket investment I made and how it reminded me that real growth often feels uncomfortable, but in a grounded, steady way. We’re talking about the balance between a healthy push and slipping into survival mode, and why that difference matters so much. 

Inside th...

Have you ever wished you had more meaningful holiday traditions but felt unsure where to start — or worried you were already “behind”? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the heart of holiday rhythms and simple, everyday hospitality. I’m sharing a few of our own experiences from this season, from spontaneous moments with friends to Thanksgiving morning memories with family. What surprised me most this year is how often new tradit...

In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m recording live from a totally spontaneous movie adventure turned date day with the kids (complete with potty break commentary), and I’m sharing some reflections from our Thanksgiving week. We started a few brand-new tr...

Have you ever tried to slow down, get organized, or create healthier rhythms…only to feel yourself slipping right back into hustle mode at the first sign of stress?

Have you ever found yourself with all the information you need — the plans, the ideas, the clarity — but still not getting the results you want because you never carved out the time to actually implement? In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing an inside peek at how I structure my CEO days and the simple rhythms that help me move from knowing what to do to actually doing it. We’ll talk through the behind-the-scenes pla...

If you’ve ever reached the end of the day wondering why you’re so exhausted when nothing “big” even happened, this episode is for you. Today, we’re unpacking the hidden habit that quietly drains your mental capacity, keeps you stuck in survival mode, and makes even normal days feel overwhelming. I’m sharing a real-life moment from this week when our whole day got thrown off, and how decision fatigue almost pulled me right back into...

Have you ever felt stuck in that exhausting cycle where you’re either fully present with your kids but your house is falling apart, or you’re finally catching up on dishes and laundry but feeling guilty because it’s coming at the cost of being with your babies? That tug-of-war can make motherhood feel heavier than it needs to be, which is why I’m so excited to have one of my incredible DIY course students on the show today. She’s a...

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for your phone to steal the quiet moments of your day without you even realizing it? For the longest time, I felt like social media was constantly pulling at my attention—and honestly, I needed a full reset.

After being off social media completely for 18 months, I’ve spent the last six months slowly reintroducing it into my life. In this episode, I’m sharing what that’s looked like, what I’ve le...

Marriage is one of those areas that can quietly slip to the bottom of the list when life gets full—kids, work, routines, and everything in between. For years, Mat and I have circled around some of the same conflicts, often meaning the same thing but hearing each other differently. This past weekend, we attended our very first marriage conference, and it gave us so much clarity, connection, and a few simple rhythms we’re bringing ba...

But what if you could build a business that’s both thriving and peaceful—without the constant hustle? In this episode, we’re diving into what it really looks like to grow a profitable business that supports your family, instead of competing with it. You’ll walk away with practical encouragement for building wealth a...

This year has reminded me just how powerful it is to have people who show up for you in different ways—the friends who cheer you on through Voxer messages and the ones who sit beside you at a retreat or coffee table. God has been teaching me that both are deeply valuable, and together, they form the kind of community that strengthens not only your heart but your calling.

In this Memos in the Margins episode, I’m reflecting on what ...
