Send us Fan Mail Today I’m joined by one of my best friends, April, who is visiting from Nova Scotia. We’ve been friends since university, and our friendship has grown through long distance, raising kids, and doing life together through both the fun and hard seasons. We’re talking all about what friendship looks like in this stage of life — from voice notes and FaceTimes to praying each other through difficult moments. If you’ve ever wondered how to stay connected to friends in a busy season ...
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.

When you’re raising kids, managing schedules, and juggling all the responsibilities of family life, it’s easy fo...
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...
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: &n...
Send a text Parenting isn’t a recipe — but there are ingredients. In this episode of Praise, Prayer & Protein, I’m reflecting on a powerful sermon we heard on Sunday about “A Recipe for Christian Parenting” and what it actually looks like in real life. We’re talking about: ✨ Direction & Devotion — why faith is more caught than taught ✨ Development & Discipline — loving boundaries and consistent correction ✨ Prayer & Proclamation — how we teach our kids to pray by m...
Send a text Happy Family Day 🤍 In today’s episode, we’re talking about something that makes connection so much easier in our homes understanding your child’s love language.

When you understand how each child gives and receives love, it becomes so much simpler to love them intentionally — without feeling like you have to give everyone the ...

Send a text Every year between Boxing Day and New Year’s, I take a quiet afternoon to look back on the year behind me and gently look ahead to what’s next. For years, I did this by setting goals across a few simple categories — faith, family, health, friendships, and personal growth. Nothing fancy or overwhelming… just intentional rhythms for the season of motherhood I was in. Last year, I decided to try something new. Instead of a traditional goal list, I created a 2025 Bingo Card — 25 ...
