My Story and Why This Matters
In this very first episode of Discovering Home, I’m sharing the heart behind the podcast and the journey that brought me here. Before I became a stay-at-home mom, I spent nearly 20 years in a demanding career—chasing titles, striving to “do it all,” and quietly wondering if this was really the life God had called me to.
When I finally took a leap of faith and followed God’s call home, He not only redefined my identity; He transformed my life and gave me a new purpose.
In this episode, I open up about:
- My personal story of leaving the full-time hustle to embrace life at home
- The three big questions: Why this? Why now? Why does it matter?
- The truth I’ve discovered about motherhood, identity, and living with purpose
- Why I believe home is holy work and motherhood a ministry worth pursuing
Whether you’re a working mom dreaming of more time with your family or a stay-at-home mom needing encouragement in your calling, this episode will remind you that motherhood is valuable, powerful, and beautiful.
You are not alone.
I'm praying for you.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
