Hi, friend! Today, we’re going to talk about something I’ve been getting a lot of messages about recently. And that is feeling like you are tired of using screens to babysit or entertain your kids just so you can get anything done. Do you ever feel like you really prefer to not use screens a ton and you know you’d rather have your kids playing by themselves, but also, it seems like that is the only way you can get anything done?! I’ve totally been there and this episode is for you! In today’s episode, I’m going to share 3 super quick activities that take 5 minutes or less to set up that can help your kids play independently while you get some stuff done, maybe sneak in a few minutes of work, or even just drink a cup of coffee in peace! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

Hi, friend! Have you ever felt like something was wrong with you for constantly feeling SO overstimulated and overwhelmed in motherhood, when you’ve dreamed of motherhood for so long? Or do you wonder why keeping up on all the things is simply EXHAUSTING and you’re constantly one tiny step away from just losing it completely, trying to keep all the balls you’re juggling in the air? There is an actual PHYSICAL component to overwhelm, overstimulation, even mom rage and I’m so excited to bring my dear friend Rachel Skinner Fernandez onto the show today to share with us her wisdom on all things nervous system and what that means for us as busy moms just trying to keep it together. She is sharing practical and SIMPLE shifts to calm your nervous system, get out of fight or flight mode, and heal from anxiety and overwhelm on a very basic level. This was SUCH a good conversation and I know you’re going to walk away with some very practical tools that you can implement TODAY to help you start calming the chaos behind the scenes. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

Hi, friend! Today’s episode is a really fun one! I’m sharing my current favorite podcasts to binge. One of the easiest and most enjoyable way that we can consume information as busy moms is by listening to podcasts! I’ve found that I’ve been able to grow so much personally, in my faith, and even learning in my business through carving out time to listen to other podcasts and apply what I learn. I think it’s so fun to hear what podcasts other people are loving or gaining wisdom from that’s what today’s episode is all about! I am sharing my top favorites in multiple categories-parenting, mom life, Christian encouragement and lifestyle, and a few business podcasts that I’m loving as well. So excited for this episode!

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m talking all about friendship and how to find and keep strong friendships in the midst of busy mom life. I’ve heard so many times from moms that the little years especially were some of the loneliest times of their life, which I think is so sad because I truly believe that often, this is the time we need the support, community, and life-giving friendships (and maybe just conversation with actual humans other than our toddlers) the MOST. I’m going to share what I’ve learned over the years as well as practical tips for what is working for me right now to prioritize friendship amidst a very full life! How to find life-giving friendships as a mom, tips to maintain and grow the friendships you already have, and how to practically make this a priority with everything else you have going on. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

Hi, friend! Are you tired of constantly feeling behind and overwhelmed trying to do it all, but feeling like you’re getting NOWHERE? Are you exhausted trying to balance mom life, business, and somehow keep up on your home all at the same time? In today’s episode, I’m bringing on one of my amazing students, Jessica Tung Thomas. She recently graduated the course and she is coming on the show to tell us all about her experience, why she joined the course, what it’s really like on the inside, what wins she’s experienced, and if it’s actually worth it! She’s also sharing specifically about how impactful the systems and tools she’s learned in the course have been for navigating a really HARD season that she and her family are currently walking through. It doesn’t make the circumstances any easier, but it has given her so much more capacity and bandwidth to serve and love her family well through this season, while her home and family responsibilities are taken care of with the systems she’s put in place. I am so honored to share this conversation with you today! This is a juicy one-you’re definitely going to want to be a fly on the wall to listen in if you’ve been thinking about joining the Simple Rhythms for Busy Moms course!

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, we are broaching the subject of work-life balance. I have shared pieces of my story of falling into workaholic tendencies and unintentionally prioritizing work over pretty much everything else in my life. Let me tell you, it was NOT a pretty season of my life.  Today, we’re going to talk all about 2 practical things you need to let go of to truly prioritize family FIRST as a work from home mom. You have a desire to have a business or work in some way, but you also know you want your family to be your main priority-how do you balance BOTH?! Such a good question and one that I’m excited to start exploring a little bit more in this episode! And if you are a full time stay at home mom or work outside the home mom, I think there will still be lots that will apply to you as well. No matter what our “work” is, it can be very easy to let that work overrun and rule the show and crowd out our best intentions of keeping our family a top priority. Getting really honest about that and creating systems to help safeguard those priorities is so key in finding the balance that works for you and your family in the season you’re in. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

Hi, friend! Do you hate procrastinating? Does it drive you absolutely crazy to have an endless to do list, but then end every day just continually pushing the same items over to the next day again and again on repeat?! In today’s episode, we’re going to get to the root of the excuses that are causing the procrastination that is driving you NUTS in your life…and 3 truths to help you break through those lies and finally find consistency in your daily routines. Sometimes, hearing someone else talk through the specific things that you have believed to be true in your own life can really bring freedom to look at things another way and to see available options that you may have to find change in that area. I know that has been true in my own life and that’s why I’m sharing this episode today. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m talking specifically about what to do if you know you need more consistency in your days, you want to reset your routines and habits to help you feel less overwhelmed trying to manage it all, you feel ALL OVER THE PLACE 24/7 and you know something has to change…but you just don’t have the time. What do you do when you know something needs to change, but you don’t have the time to set up the routine, you definitely don’t have the time to tweak and test and start over from scratch when the first routine doesn’t work for you in your season, and you feel like you’re just stuck. We’re going to talk all about the steps to starting where you are and how to do it in a way that is super sustainable for your busy life. I hear you-I’ve totally been there and this episode is for you. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

Hi, friend! Have you ever felt like just walking away from social media FOR GOOD?! Well, I’m doing exactly that in a world where this is VERY anti-cultural. I’m getting really personal in this episode with behind the scenes stories I’ve NEVER shared online, vulnerable truths about WHY I’m doing this, and what this means for my business moving forward. I am usually very careful about sharing big pivotal events or moments in my personal life (or even my business life) not in real time, not in the current moment, but once I have processed it and am in a really good place with it.  But, I’m breaking my own rule today. I feel like God put a specific tug on my heart to share this live, in real time. I think there are some valuable lessons here that are more impactful if I share the heaviness/the weight of this decision now so I hope this will be encouraging or helpful in some way for your journey. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

Hi, friend! Do you ever feel like you get to the end of the day, crawl into bed, and wonder what you even accomplished at all?! You know you weren’t just laying around, but also feel like you were just constantly “hot potato-ing” from one task to the next, without fully ever finishing a single one. (I FEEL THIS and have so been there!) In today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing the NUMBER ONE thing that is STEALING from your productivity as a work from home mom. Balancing raising kids, faith, running our home, investing in our marriages is a LOT…and then when you throw in a dream or desire to grow a business or side hustle in the cracks of time we have-sometimes it can feel like jumping aboard a sinking ship if we’re being honest.  I’m here to go deep into this today and reveal the #1 thing I believe is truly stealing from your productivity that will make a huge difference in how you manage your days in this area. And if you’re a full time stay at home mom, there is so much in this episode for you as well so stay tuned! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! Do you feel like your schedule is just TOO full? Does it feel like you never have the time to actually slow down and spend time with your kids like you really want to? In today’s episode, it’s time to get real. We ALL want more time in the day, we all feel like we never have enough time to really balance all of our roles well. And one thing that I keep seeing come up again and again is you’re feeling like you just don’t have enough time in the day to really spend quality time with your kids the way you want to. Trust me, I’ve been there and it’s so frustrating. You’ve dreamed of motherhood for so long, you’re finally here, and it feels like you are just constantly rushing through every day trying to accomplish all the things and cross off all the items on your to do list or get to the next appointment on time and not enough time in the day to simply soak up time with your kids and be present the way you want to. SO, in today’s episode, I’m going to break down 3 simple ways for you to say NO in order to have MORE time with your kids. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! Do you really want to carve out more time with your kids? Are your kids your absolute TOP priority, but you also struggle with getting caught up in all the things that practically need to get done each day? In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you a time management hack that I’ve been using in my life recently that has really been helping to make sure I’m building in the time to focus on my kids the way I really want to, without just getting distracted constantly by all the things I have to do. We all have things that need to get done each day and if you’ve ever struggled with constantly choosing the next thing that needs to get done (whether that’s in business or housework) over prioritizing sitting down to enjoy quality time with your kids, this episode is for you.
