Send us Fan Mail After a summer break, I’m back and sharing what was really behind it: burnout. Then my 93-year-old grandma broke her hip, and unexpectedly, helping care for her became part of what pulled me out of it. In this episode, I’m sharing what God has been teaching me about mom burnout, putting down my phone, caring for the people right in front of me, and asking for the grace we need for today.

Send us Fan Mail As the seasons shift and schedules change, it's easy to ask "How am I going to survive this?" — but what if God is asking something deeper of your heart?

Whether you're heading into a full house, a new routine, or just the beautiful chaos of summer, this one is for you. Is it time to manage your business and motherhood with a peace?

Send us Fan Mail Are your “lazy habits” or distractions actually something deeper? In this episode, I’m opening up about a quiet struggle I’ve been noticing in my own life… the small, normal patterns that don’t seem like a big deal, but slowly leave me feeling distracted, discouraged, and disconnected from God. Inspired by The Devil in the Castle by Dan Burke, which draws from the teachings of St. Teresa of Avila and her Interior Castle, we explore how the enemy often works in subtle ways, not pulling us far from God, but keeping us distracted enough to never go deeper. This conversation is honest, a little convicting, and rooted in hope. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same patterns… if you’ve caught yourself missing moments of grace… this episode will gently call you back.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Habits of a Mother, I share a bold conviction that came from a neighborhood moms night: we must live our faith out loud. Not quietly. Not politely. Not just on Sundays. From daily gratitude and worship in the kitchen to building a liturgical family rhythm, this episode is a rallying call for Christian moms raising little disciples at home. Our children may not remember every lesson. But they will remember if their mother loved Jesus. Is it time to manage your business and motherhood with a peace?

Send us Fan Mail Mom guilt has a way of quietly taking over our thoughts, our patience, and our confidence as mothers.

This episode unpacks the difference between sacred silence and spiritual isolation, offers a simple “Name It to Tame It” mindset practice, reflects on Scripture, and guides listeners through a contemplative prayer for Advent peace.
