5 Minute encouragements: How to actually change your husband

Today I am launching a new series called 5 minute encouragements! These will be episodes of the podcast that are about 5 minutes that are packed to the brim with some quick encouragement for you on different topics. Today’s topic: How do you actually get your husband to change? And plot twist it might not be what you think. I hope you will be encouraged and challenged and will walk away with a new perspective on how to encourage your husband and be challenged in how you can be a joyful wife.

Where I’ve been

Hi! And welcome back! And today’s episode I talk about why I’ve been a little bit absent from the social media world. Sometimes it’s best to recognize what works during a season and what needs to be removed and how it’s ok to not always do everything. I hope you can be encouraged to know it’s ok to set things down to focus on what’s in front of you instead of what’s going on around you

How to have peace that lasts-even when life changes

I’m so excited to welcome you into Season 5 of Motherhood on Mondays with a brand new, encouraging episode all about peace that lasts—even when life feels uncertain or constantly changing. As millennials, we hear so much about mental health, trauma, therapy, and the importance of “protecting your peace.” While those conversations matter, have you ever stopped to ask—what does the Bible actually say about peace? In this episode, we take a deeper look at Scripture to uncover where true, lasting peace comes from and why guarding your peace may not be the biblical call we think it is. Instead, we’ll explore what Scripture tells us we are truly meant to guard—and it might surprise you. If you’re feeling weary, anxious, or craving something steadier than circumstantial peace, this episode is for you. Let’s reset our hearts, anchor ourselves in truth, and step into a peace that isn’t fragile—but firmly rooted in Christ.

“Don’t Grow Weary: Finishing 2025 Faithful and Stepping into 2026 with Hope”

2025 was a year of growth, stretching, and refinement-both personally and relationally. In this final episode of the year, we talk honestly about what it feels like to keep choosing obedience when it would be easier to grow weary, especially when others around us aren’t choosing to follow God. This episode is a reminder that doing good is never wasted, faithfulness always matters, and God sees every quiet act of obedience. As Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” As we step into 2026, we cling to the hope that comes from trusting Him fully-believing He is still working, still refining, and still faithful.

Going against the grain: how we make a one income lifestyle work and choose faith over a paycheck

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a very honest conversation about choosing a slower, simpler path in a culture that constantly tells us to do more, earn more, and hustle harder. Staying home with our kids on one income hasn’t been easy. It has required sacrifice, intentional choices, and a complete shift in perspective about what truly matters. Today, I’m sharing how our family learned to reframe success, steward our finances differently, and trust God with less margin but deeper purpose. This choice may look counter cultural, but we truly believe that investing our time, presence, and discipleship into our children now is an investment in their future. Not because it’s perfect or glamorous, but because faithfulness often looks quiet and unseen. If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between culture’s expectations and the calling you feel for your family, this episode is for you.
