For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week about toxic achievement culture with Jennifer Wallace or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss!
Joining me today is the Vice President of Education and Publishing at Minno (a streaming platform for kids), Jessica Wolstenholm. They discuss how to use screen time to positively engage with children and encourage their faith. Jessica discusses the importance of normalizing faith in children's entertainment and providing them with opportunities to see their faith lived out on screen. She also talks about the 2 to 14 window, which is the critical period for children to make a decision about following Jesus. My hope is that this conversation provides practical tips for incorporating faith into daily routines and cultivating scripture memory in children.
Episode Chapters:
02:36 | Using Screen Time to Positively Engage with Children & Encourage Their Faith
06:42 | Normalizing Faith in Children's Entertainment

Choosing to be a stay-at-home mom often entails significant sacrifices, particularly when it means transitioning to a single-income household. For some, this decision aligns with long-standing plans and financial preparations. For others, it may come unexpectedly, driven by a deep desire for more time with their children, prompting a search for ways to supplement lost income. Regardless of where one stands on this spectrum, today my guest, Jenna Griffith (host of the Joy-Filled podcast) and I aim to share ideas on generating income from home without the need to develop a personal brand, pursue influencer status, or engage in social selling. These alternatives offer viable paths beyond the commonly touted options, providing flexibility and financial independence suited to varying family needs and preferences.

A lot of my current listeners may have missed this previous episode with guest, Luke Burgis (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to as you understand how mimetic desire may appear in your life!) Once you learn about mimetic desire, you realize how much it has impacted your life, how much it is all around us and how to begin to set yourself apart...
Mimetic desire — the act of desiring simply what others desire – imitating what others want instead of developing our own intentional, conscious wanting – is powerful in our development, our world and in our everyday lives. Today’s guest, author Luke Burgis, shares his expertise about this concept, how society influences mimetic desire, how we can determine what we truly desire, the impact we can have on the desires of those around us and more!

Are you looking to make changes or improvements in your health? There may be areas in your life that you don't even realize contribute to feeling groggy or 'off' when it comes to your holistic wellbeing. It is my hope that this conversation with double board-certified physician, Shanika Esparaz, will provide clarity and answers. We dive into the importance of holistic treatment and lifestyle medicine, focusing on six pillars: whole food nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, positive social connection, stress management, and avoidance of risky behaviors. Even if you're familiar with the affect of these six pillars on your life, I guarantee you'll walk away from this episode with one piece of advice you've yet to implement!

Today, we're planning our summer! Joining me for the conversation is host of the Minimal-ish podcast, Desirae Endres! Instead of traditional scheduling, Desirae shares her four pillars of minimal-ish living to help shape the summer season. We chat balancing flexibility and structure, creating simple routines, prioritizing family connections, and finding time for friendships. I hope this episode is helpful to you as you kick off your own minimal(ish) summer!

As an entrepreneur and father of three, Oliver shares his approach to living an intentional life, which includes reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the future. He also discusses the principles of stoicism and how they can be practically applied in daily life.

"Feeling good starts with food. When you eat in a way that nourishes your body, you don’t experience cravings and you don’t feel hungry, restricted, or deprived. You feel satisfied and energized. You begin to crave the food that makes you feel good. As you begin to feel better from the inside, your mind becomes clearer. You start to feel hope, and that feeling of hope opens up all kinds of possibilities for your health and your life." - Cara Clark
Joining me today is renowned nutritionist and wellness educator, Cara Clark. From advising A-list celebrities to guiding Olympic athletes, Cara has helped her clients feel better in their bodies by moving away from “dieting” and instead understanding the connection between what we eat and how we feel. In this episode, we dive into various topics such as limiting information consumption, regulating blood sugar, navigating indulgences (while maintaining self-awareness), understanding disordered eating, embracing movement that resonates with you, and much more.

If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to homeschool your children, this episode is for you! Joining me today is author, podcaster, and homeschool mom Monica Swanson and she is here to tell you: you can do it. In fact, it can be the most fun, family-unifying, character-building, life-equipping experience you and your children will ever have. “I’ll never say that homeschooling is for everyone,” says Monica. “I do, however, believe that a lot more people would do it—and love it—if they tried it . . . really tried it.”

I like the idea of a backup plan for our habits like if we want to write a page or two, we keep that up on the good days and just write a line or two on those bad days
A really interesting episode with a lot to think about. I can apply this to others areas in my life too!!
Great episode! Who doesn’t want a more relaxed holiday season?
Love this podcast! These two take a realistic approach to simplifying their lives and bring us along on the journey. Easy to listen to and they inspire me to keep working at simplifying my own life. Plus it's super cool that they also live in Ohio!
I love this! I'm going to make an intention to make a list and come up with a word for my year.
