For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week about toxic achievement culture with Jennifer Wallace or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss! Joining me today is the Vice President of Education and Publishing at Minno (a streaming platform for kids), Jessica Wolstenholm. They discuss how to use screen time to positively engage with children and encourage their faith. Jessica discusses the importance of normalizing faith in children's entertainment and providing them with opportunities to see their faith lived out on screen. She also talks about the 2 to 14 window, which is the critical period for children to make a decision about following Jesus. My hope is that this conversation provides practical tips for incorporating faith into daily routines and cultivating scripture memory in children.

Choosing to be a stay-at-home mom often entails significant sacrifices, particularly when it means transitioning to a single-income household. For some, this decision aligns with long-standing plans and financial preparations. For others, it may come unexpectedly, driven by a deep desire for more time with their children, prompting a search for ways to supplement lost income. Regardless of where one stands on this spectrum, today my guest, Jenna Griffith (host of the Joy-Filled podcast) and I aim to share ideas on generating income from home without the need to develop a personal brand, pursue influencer status, or engage in social selling. These alternatives offer viable paths beyond the commonly touted options, providing flexibility and financial independence suited to varying family needs and preferences. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode | Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Diane's Resource: Jay Shetty - Skinny Confidental Podcast Can't Stop Talking About: Olive Tree People (This was the brand Jenna mentioned at the end!

A lot of my current listeners may have missed this previous episode with guest, Luke Burgis (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to as you understand how mimetic desire may appear in your life!) Once you learn about mimetic desire, you realize how much it has impacted your life, how much it is all around us and how to begin to set yourself apart... Mimetic desire — the act of desiring simply what others desire – imitating what others want instead of developing our own intentional, conscious wanting – is powerful in our development, our world and in our everyday lives. Today’s guest, author Luke Burgis, shares his expertise about this concept, how society influences mimetic desire, how we can determine what we truly desire, the impact we can have on the desires of those around us and more! ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Resource: Motivational Code Connect with Luke: Website Instagram Substack Book: Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire Episode Sponsors | The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.

I like the idea of a backup plan for our habits like if we want to write a page or two, we keep that up on the good days and just write a line or two on those bad days
