10 Habits To Declutter Your Mind, Home, and Heart

In this episode we're not talking about color-coded pantries or perfectly folded linens. This is about the kind of clutter that builds up quietly (in your brain, in your calendar, in your emotions) and how to start clearing it out with intention and grace.

I'm walking you through 10 simple but powerful habits that can help you feel more peace in your body, your schedule, and your space.

I'll share:

• The one-question morning habit that can change the tone of your whole day
• How to start letting go of physical and emotional clutter, one item or thought at at time
• A new way of thinking about guilt (and what to do with that sweater from 2016)
• Why "transfer moments" matter more than you think
• A journal prompt to end your day with peace instead of mental noise

You don't need to do all 10. Just pick the one that speaks to you and let it be a starting point for something lighter, calmer, and more aligned.

What To Do When Your Child's Choices Challenge Your Values

Your child's decisions don't always line up with what you hoped, taught, or believed would happen. Whether it's faith, relationships, priorities, or how they spend their time, you might find yourself wrestling with fear, confusion, or the urge to fix it.

In this episode, I'm walking you through a better way. One that doesn't mean abandoning your values or pretending you're okay with everything...but does invite you to stay steady, grounded, and curious instead of reactive and anxious.

I'll share:

• What's actually driving your discomfort
• Why trying to control or course-correct often backfires
• A few go-to questions that build connection instead of tension
• How to hold your values without forcing them on your child
• What it looks like to be present and peaceful, no matter their decisions

Because your peace isn't tied to their choices. It begins with yours.

ENCORE: The Mom Comparison Trap

This episode originally aired awhile back, but it's one I come back to again and again, especially during seasons when I notice comparison creeping in and stealing my peace.

So today, I'm bringing it back as an encore.

Whether you're scrolling social media or watching another mom at school drop-off, comparison is one of the easiest traps to fall into, and one of the hardest to climb out of. It can leave you feeling like you're behind, not doing enough, or like everyone else has something figured out that you don't.

But that's not the truth.

In this episode, I'm sharing practical and powerful way to shift out of that cycle of "compare and despair" and come back to your own lane, with confidence.

You'll learn:

• How to recognize the comparison thoughts that quietly drain your confidence.
• The thought that helps you break the cycle (without pretending everything's fine)
• Real-life examples of how to shift from self-doubt to self-compassion
• A practice you can start this week to feel more grounded in who you are as a mom

💌 As a gift this season, I’m also sharing my Comparison Trap Workbook. A free, resource to help you go deeper.

It includes:

• Journal prompts

• Bridge thoughts

• Reflection space

• and more!

How To Discern Your Spiritual Gifts With Jill Simons

In this episode, I'm joined by Jill Simons, founder of Many Part Ministries for a conversation that will change the way you think about spiritual gifts, specifically your spiritual gifts.

Jill walks us through how charisms (another word for spiritual gifts) help you live in alignment with how God made you, avoid burnout, and start noticing where His grace is already flowing into your life. We talk about how these gifts show up in motherhood, how to identify them, and why it's so freeing to know what to say yes to, and what's okay to let go.

You'll hear:

• The difference between talents and charisms (and why it matters)
• What "supernatural effectiveness" looks like in your everyday life
• How knowing your gifts can help you set better boundaries without guilt
• The practical tools that help you start discerning your charisms right away

Whether you've never heard of charisms before or you're ready to dig deeper, Jill makes it easy to get started.

Mastering The Art of Saying No Without Guilt

Sometimes saying "no" feels anything but peaceful.

Even when we know it's the right decision, the guilt creeps in. We worry about letting people down, missing out, or not being seen as a "good mom." And before we know it, we've said yes to too many things that pull us away from what actually matters.

In this episode, I'm talking about how to master the art of saying no with peace, purpose, and love.

You'll hear:

• Why it's so hard to say no (even when we want to)
• How guilt disguises itself as responsibility
• What happens when we override our peace to please others
• A few mindset shifts that can help you say no with clarity and confidence
• Phrases to use when you need to set a boundary
• Why every "no" creates room for a better "yes"

You're not selfish for needing space. You're not unkind for honoring your limits. But if that still feels hard, this episode will help.
