In today’s episode, I sit down with my sweet friend Jenny Moore for a conversation that feels like a deep breath. We talk about prayer, creativity, and the Father’s heart for us as His daughters. Jenny shares how her heart for prayer grew in the quiet and messy moments of motherhood, and how simple it can be to just “start the conversation” with God. She also opens up about how the Lord has invited her to connect through baking, writing, and painting — and how she makes time for it in her full life. We wrap up with a tender reminder of the Father’s love for us — not as performers, but as beloved daughters. “to the mom, you are so many things, but you are first a daughter.” -jenny moore In this episode: * How to begin your day in prayer * Making time to create as a mom * Seeing desperation as a gift * The gentle, present love of the Father I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down and draw near — right where you are. 💛 What about this episode spoke to your heart?

36. Move: Simple Ways to Move Your Body & Spirit This Summer

✨ Episode Summary: In this episode of Be Right There, part of my Slow Girl Summer series, we’re slowing down to talk about movement—but not the kind that leaves you exhausted or overwhelmed. This conversation is all about gentle, life-giving movement for your body and your spirit. As young moms, we often feel like we either need to do an intense workout or do nothing at all. But there’s a middle way. I’ll walk you through simple, realistic ways to move your body that fit naturally into mom life—like going for a short walk, playing with your kids, or doing a free YouTube workout (I share my favorite channel!). I’ll also tell a little story about how trying a Pilates class with a friend gave me more than just sore muscles—it gave me life. Then we’ll shift gears and talk about spiritual movement—what it looks like to move toward others through serving. You don’t need a microphone or a ministry title to make an impact. Whether you’re opening your home for a small group, holding babies in the nursery, or showing up for the next generation in youth or college ministry (my personal favorite!), your yes matters deeply. This episode is your permission slip to move slow, move simple, and move with purpose—body and soul. 🔑 What You’ll Hear: * Why movement doesn’t have to be intense or all-or-nothing * A few go-to ways to move your body without pressure (even if you’re sleep-deprived) * My personal experience trying a new Pilates class (and how it surprised me) * What it means to "move your spirit" through service * Ways to serve in this season of motherhood (even with full hands!) * A reminder that spiritual movement doesn’t always look like doing more—it looks like saying yes to the right things * A preview of next week’s episode on prayer with my good friend Jenny 🔗 Links + Resources: * 🌿 Nourish Move Love YouTube Channel – Free at-home workouts that are mom-friendly and totally doable:https://www.youtube.com/c/NourishMoveLove [https://www.youtube.com/c/NourishMoveLove] * 🏋️‍♀️ Stephanie Adkins Fitness – In person and Virtual programs and inspiring fitness resources for busy women and moms: Here [https://www.stephanieadkinsfitness.com/about] ❤️ Listener Encouragement: If you’ve been feeling stuck or stagnant—physically or spiritually—this episode is your gentle nudge to take one small step.

35. Why Quick Fixes Aren’t Working For Us

In this episode, I’m sharing something the Lord has been teaching me: the power of going back to the basics. In a world full of quick fixes and big promises, He’s inviting me (and maybe you too!) into something simpler, slower, and way more sustainable — both for our health and our hearts. If you’ve ever felt pulled to try one more program or fix one more thing, this episode is for you. Welcome to my slow, simple summer. If this blesses you, please make my day and share it with everyone! It helps a ton! Thanks for reading my Substack! Subscribe for to receive new posts and support my work. This is a public episode.
