Episode #24: Raising Kids with Good Manners - Teaching Respect in a Disrespectful World

In a culture that often prioritizes self over service, how do we raise children who are kind and respectful? In this episode of Spoken Over You Podcast, we're talking about one of the topics I get asked about most as a mom of four: raising kids with good manners. While manners may seem like small things, saying please and thank you, making eye contact, and apologizing when we're wrong are actually powerful tools for building character and teaching our children how to value others. We'll discuss why manners matter, how children learn respect through observation, practical ways to teach manners in everyday moments, and how these habits help our kids reflect Christ in a world that desperately needs more kindness. If you've ever wondered how to raise "good humans" in today's culture, this episode will encourage you, equip you, and remind you that the small lessons you're teaching today are shaping the adults your children will become tomorrow.

Episode #20: The Mental Load That Moms Carry

Motherhood carries a weight that often goes unseen. In this episode of the Spoken Over You Podcast, we talk about the mental load moms carry....the invisible work of remembering, tracking, planning, anticipating, and holding together the rhythms of family life.  Even in homes with loving and supportive partners, many mothers remain the “default parent,” carrying the mental management of the household.

In this episode, we unpack what the mental load is, why so many women carry it alone, and what happens when we hold onto it for too long.  This episode offers practical and spiritual ways to begin lightening the weight, from naming the load, to sharing responsibility, releasing perfection, and learning to surrender control to God daily.  If you’ve ever ended the day exhausted but unable to explain why, this conversation will help you understand the invisible weight you’ve been carrying and give you encouragement to begin laying it down.
