Episode #44 Staying Sweet & Happy During Hard Challenges with Ashley Ence

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2355010/fan_mail/new] Hey Friend, I'm so glad you're here. This episode is all about Ashley who has a child with autism and a husband with epilepsy. She shares with us the reality of what her life looks like and feels like. She shares how with the help of family, father and Jesus Christ. She has been able to maintain a happy sweet disposition despite this ongoing challenge. Ashley is so inspiring. I know her in person and she truly is so smiley and happy! She shared some really helpful tips and I think anyone going through anything hard can benefit from it. But especially anyone in a similar situation is going to find a lot of validation and help from Ashley. Ashley is also in the middle of writing a book specifically directed towards parents of children with autism. And I will definitely be posting on my Instagram when this book comes out. You're going to love it! Whatever point in motherhood you're at, thanks for being here.  I am forever cheering you on! xo, Layna B.

Episode #43 - Have you ever considered homeschool? - with Laura Zundel

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2355010/fan_mail/new] Have you ever considered homeschool? Or felt God nudging you towards it? Or maybe you are new to homeschool and wondering what to do! Well this conversation is for YOU!!  Laura shares what brought her to homeschooling and *spoiler alert* it wasn't any problems they had with public school. It was all God! We share what we would do differently if we could start over and what advice we would give to new homeschooling moms. Whatever your schooling choices, I hope this encourages you to consider your options. There are so many educational options and when it boils down to it, the most important thing we can do is spend a lot of time teaching our children about God.  I hope you know how proud of you He is and that He is forever trying to guide and direct you.  xoxo Layna B.

Episode #41 - 5 Minute Soul Refill - The lie of the ideal day

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2355010/fan_mail/new] Welcome back ladies.  It's been several months since I have posted an episode. I've got some really fun things in the lineup for us and starting out I wanted to share this episode that has been on my mind for several weeks. This new shorter form content 'The 5 minute soul refill' episodes are going to be fabulous and help give us a little uplift without having to listen to a whole episode in our busy schedules.  Thank you so much for taking the time to listen. I know there are so many places and ways that you can spend your time and I'm honored that you would spend it with me. I hope when you come here you feel uplifted and feel seen. Motherhood ain't no cakewalk. And I hope that like me you're learning how to read for heaven more frequently and more earnestly.  I'm forever cheering you on! xoxo, Layna B.

Episode #40 - Sticking to the Plan & Building Habits - with Fitness Coach Alexia Wilson

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2355010/fan_mail/new] Do you have ideas of where you want to be physically? Want to feel and look a certain way? But feel like your life is just not conducive to what it would take? Well Alexia is your girl. Today she shares about building habits that will carry you into your next season. Maybe you know you'll be pregnant in the near future. It can be easy to think that after you have your baby then you'll get fit again. Or after the Holiday season you will reel it in and get focused on health again. But there is never going to be a good time to get fit. Health takes discipline and sacrifice.  Something is always better than nothing. Don't have an all or nothing mindset. Pick something small you can do today. Track your protein. Go for a walk. Our small choices matter and they all add up. So do what you can today!  Taking care of ourselves physically can teach us a lot about our spiritual health as well. And God is always trying to speak to us and help us in all aspects of our lives. I know he wants you to feel good and feel confident and He will show you the way as you let Him.  I am forever cheering you on!! Let's go Ladies!! xo, Layna B.
