Episode Finding Joy Through Life's Unexpected Turns with Emi Naegle Cover

Beschreibung

This week, I sit down with Emi Naegle—mom and content creator—who was diagnosed with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) just days after having her first baby. In that first year navigating heart failure as a brand new mom, she walked through an incredibly heavy season of health challenges and loss. In this conversation, she shares how that experience changed the way she sees everyday life and deepened her relationship with Jesus Christ. We talk about what it really looks like to choose joy when life feels different than you planned, and how faith gives us the strength to keep moving forward. She also shares the simple, practical ways she brings light into her days—from small routines and micro traditions to creating beauty in the ordinary moments of motherhood. This episode is a gentle reminder that joy isn’t found in perfect circumstances—but can be created, one small thing at a time.

Episode Modesty, Finding Your Personal Style, and Divine Identity with Kennadee Limon Cover

Modesty, Finding Your Personal Style, and Divine Identity with Kennadee Limon

In this episode, I sit down with Kennadee Limón to talk about divine identity, personal style, modesty, and what it means to show up as your best self in this season of life. Kennadee shares her journey with Jesus, her struggles with perfectionism, and the powerful lesson that her worth comes from being a daughter of God—not from what she accomplishes. We discuss why individuality matters to God, how getting dressed each day can be a simple act of self-care, and practical tips for finding a personal style that helps you feel confident and like yourself again. Motherhood can make it easy to lose sight of who you are beneath the endless needs, routines, and responsibilities. And this conversation is about so much more than clothes..it's a reminder that trends come and go, but your divine identity never changes—and that being a mom is a role worth showing up for.

Episode A Mother’s Love and the Savior’s Love: Lessons from Surrogacy with Myndie Tullis Cover

A Mother’s Love and the Savior’s Love: Lessons from Surrogacy with Myndie Tullis

You've heard this story through my eyes, but in this episode, you're hearing it from my mom's. After the complications that led to my emergency hysterectomy, my mom felt an unexpected impression while sitting by my hospital bed. As I was waking up from surgery, she voiced an impression that would change both of our lives: "You know I'll have your baby, right?" In this conversation on His House, my mom, Myndie Tullis, shares what happened next—from the spiritual promptings and confirmations that led her to become my gestational carrier to the lessons she learned about faith, motherhood, and trusting God through the unexpected. She opens up about those difficult weeks in the hospital through a mother's eyes, the experiences that gave her confidence she was on the right path, and how the journey deepened her understanding of Jesus Christ. We also talk about how God prepares us for mountains we don't yet see coming, the power available through covenants, and why a mother's love can teach us so much about the Savior's love for us. We also discuss lessons from nearly three decades of motherhood, the encouragement she would give to her younger self, and why she believes moms are often doing far better than they think. Whether you've followed our story from the beginning or are hearing parts of it for the first time, I hope this conversation reminds you that God prepares us for hard things, walks with us through them, and can turn even the most unexpected circumstances into something beautiful.

Episode How Jesus Sustains Working Moms with Annie Eyring Cover

How Jesus Sustains Working Moms with Annie Eyring

In this episode of His House, Annie Eyring shares what life really looks like as a working mom raising three kids while supporting her family through her photography business during her husband's years in medical school. Together we talk about the pressure many women feel to do everything well, the guilt that can come from balancing motherhood and meaningful work, and how Jesus meets us in seasons that feel exhausting and overwhelming. Annie opens up about late nights editing after bedtime, learning to slow down instead of living in constant urgency, and the quiet ways God has strengthened and provided for her family over the years. This conversation is for the mom who feels stretched thin, stuck in survival mode, or wondering if she’s falling short spiritually. I'm hopeful this conversation can be a gentle reminder that God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s asking us to let Him walk with us through it.

Episode Raising Compassionate Kids in a Divided World with Whitley Keleman Cover

Raising Compassionate Kids in a Divided World with Whitley Keleman

This week on His House, I'm joined by Whitley Keleman—a mother, professor, podcast host, and one of those people who makes you want to see the world more like Jesus does. From teaching a class on inclusion and belonging at BYU to creating her "Sit With Me" gatherings and podcast, Whitley has spent years intentionally listening to people’s stories, building bridges across differences, and helping others feel seen. Together with her husband and three kids, she’s also chosen a life of proximity—living abroad, immersing themselves in different cultures, and raising children to see and love people deeply. In this conversation, we talk about raising compassionate kids, creating a home where people belong, what living abroad has taught their family about joy and empathy, and how hearing people’s stories changes the way we see both others and God. This episode is a reminder that Christlike love often looks like slowing down, listening longer, inviting people in, and allowing ourselves to be changed by proximity to others. If you’ve ever wondered how to raise compassionate kids, create meaningful community, or better see people the way God does—this conversation is for you.

Episode The Art of Documenting Motherhood with Ashley Teresa Cover

The Art of Documenting Motherhood with Ashley Teresa

In this episode of His House, I sit down with motherhood and film photographer Ashley Teresa to talk about seeing and capturing the beauty of the mundane moments of daily life. Ashley’s work captures motherhood in a way that feels deeply nostalgic, honest, and sacred—reminding us that the quiet moments we often overlook may actually be the ones worth remembering most. We talk about how film photography has taught her to slow down and become more present, how documenting everyday life can help us honor what God is giving us right now, and why the mundane moments of motherhood carry so much meaning. This conversation is an invitation to see your life differently — to notice the beauty already surrounding you, experience God in the ordinary, and embrace the life you’re living right now as the beautiful one. Whether you’re a mom in the thick of repetitive days, someone longing to be more present, or simply craving a slower and more intentional way of living, this episode will leave you inspired to notice, document, and cherish the sacredness woven into everyday life. If you loved this episode, you can find information about Ashley's new motherhood course on her substack [https://substack.com/@ashleyteresa]. Her course,What We Keep, is designed for mothers looking to document their children's lives and their motherhood more intentionally. @ashleyteresaphoto [https://www.instagram.com/ashleyteresaphoto/] @ashleyteresaweddings [https://www.instagram.com/ashleyteresaweddings/]
