Hi, friend! Have you ever felt like just walking away from social media FOR GOOD?! Well, I’m doing exactly that in a world where this is VERY anti-cultural. I’m getting really personal in this episode with behind the scenes stories I’ve NEVER shared online, vulnerable truths about WHY I’m doing this, and what this means for my business moving forward. I am usually very careful about sharing big pivotal events or moments in my personal life (or even my business life) not in real time, not in the current moment, but once I have processed it and am in a really good place with it.  But, I’m breaking my own rule today. I feel like God put a specific tug on my heart to share this live, in real time. I think there are some valuable lessons here that are more impactful if I share the heaviness/the weight of this decision now so I hope this will be encouraging or helpful in some way for your journey. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy!

Hi, friend! Do you ever feel like you get to the end of the day, crawl into bed, and wonder what you even accomplished at all?! You know you weren’t just laying around, but also feel like you were just constantly “hot potato-ing” from one task to the next, without fully ever finishing a single one. (I FEEL THIS and have so been there!) In today’s episode, I’m going to be sharing the NUMBER ONE thing that is STEALING from your productivity as a work from home mom. Balancing raising kids, faith, running our home, investing in our marriages is a LOT…and then when you throw in a dream or desire to grow a business or side hustle in the cracks of time we have-sometimes it can feel like jumping aboard a sinking ship if we’re being honest.  I’m here to go deep into this today and reveal the #1 thing I believe is truly stealing from your productivity that will make a huge difference in how you manage your days in this area. And if you’re a full time stay at home mom, there is so much in this episode for you as well so stay tuned! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! Do you feel like your schedule is just TOO full? Does it feel like you never have the time to actually slow down and spend time with your kids like you really want to? In today’s episode, it’s time to get real. We ALL want more time in the day, we all feel like we never have enough time to really balance all of our roles well. And one thing that I keep seeing come up again and again is you’re feeling like you just don’t have enough time in the day to really spend quality time with your kids the way you want to. Trust me, I’ve been there and it’s so frustrating. You’ve dreamed of motherhood for so long, you’re finally here, and it feels like you are just constantly rushing through every day trying to accomplish all the things and cross off all the items on your to do list or get to the next appointment on time and not enough time in the day to simply soak up time with your kids and be present the way you want to. SO, in today’s episode, I’m going to break down 3 simple ways for you to say NO in order to have MORE time with your kids. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! Do you really want to carve out more time with your kids? Are your kids your absolute TOP priority, but you also struggle with getting caught up in all the things that practically need to get done each day? In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you a time management hack that I’ve been using in my life recently that has really been helping to make sure I’m building in the time to focus on my kids the way I really want to, without just getting distracted constantly by all the things I have to do. We all have things that need to get done each day and if you’ve ever struggled with constantly choosing the next thing that needs to get done (whether that’s in business or housework) over prioritizing sitting down to enjoy quality time with your kids, this episode is for you. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! Today’s episode is for the mom listening that has tried routines in the past, you’ve tried all the things-super specific routine charts outlined down to the minute, sleep routines, chore charts to get things done around the house, all of it. And no matter what it is, you just CANNOT stick to it for longer than a couple days max before giving up entirely.  You want more organization in your life, you want to know what to expect each day (for both you AND your kids), and you want systems to help you turn your brain off at the end of the day and just truly rest and unplug, to recharge for the next day.  You’re overwhelmed trying to balance it all and you need some help, but you know that routines are NOT the answer because they’ve never worked for you in the past. In today’s episode, we’re diving into WHY you’ve never been able to stick to routines previously and the 3 time management secrets you NEED to finally be consistent in this area. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! Is it even possible to run a business without social media?! You know you want to be on your phone less, but you can never find boundaries that actually work because you have to be on your phone to market your business! Is balance in this area even realistic at all?! Especially as a mom of littles who REALLY wants to be present and not waste the little years being so distracted on social media constantly. If you’ve ever asked any of those questions or wondered how other moms and small business owners navigate social media, I’m pulling back the curtain in this episode for all the vulnerable (and frankly EMBARRASSING) stats and journey of what my social media usage has looked like over the years in all 3 of my businesses to date. Where I failed, where I’ve grown, the boundaries I swear by now, and most importantly, how the Lord has convicted my heart in a whole new way in the past year on this topic. This is going to be a juicy one, friends! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! Do you feel like you are constantly hustling, always thinking about the next thing that needs to get done, errand you have to run, or item you need to cross off your daily to do list?! In today’s episode, I’m talking to all my mom friends that feel like you can NEVER get your brain to just shut off. Maybe you know you want to REST more and slow down, be fully present, but honestly you don’t even know HOW to rest. I’m going to break down 10 simple ways to embrace REST before the summer ends…tiny ways to fully rest even as a busy mom of littles, unplug and unwind to ultimately serve your family better by giving them the BEST version of yourself. Some of these you probably haven’t thought of before and prioritizing rest in your daily rhythms is so much simpler than we make it out to be! I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! I don’t know about you, but my schedule has been ALL OVER THE PLACE the last few weeks with 4th of July plans, family in from out of town, VBS, family vacation, all the things. And it has me feeling a little crazy if I’m being honest. In today’s episode, we’re diving into HOW to practically get yourself back on schedule when your routines get completely out of whack from all the summer events and plans you’re enjoying. We all want to embrace summer and live up all the fun summer things, but then how to bring it back in quickly after those crazy weeks. How to reset and get back to a good place with your routines and rhythms ASAP after crazier weeks of summer plans so that you don’t spend a month just trying to get back to normal after your summer vacation.

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m sharing 16 fun mid-summer activities to do with your kids without breaking the budget. These can really apply for all ages (tweaked to your kids’ specific ages and interests), but my kids are currently toddler and preschool age so I would say specifically mamas with kiddos ages 0-6, all of this will definitely apply for you! I don’t know about you, but this summer is FLYING and as moms of littles, we want to find cheap, simple ways to embrace summer and create core memories with our toddlers and preschoolers-without making it more complicated than it needs to be! I thought this would be a fun way to crowdsource some fun summer activities to break up the mundane, cross a few things off the summer bucket list in a SIMPLE, low stress way, and just create some core summer memories with our kiddos especially now that we’re more than halfway through the summer. I pray this episode is encouraging for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! I have a really fun BONUS episode for you today! In today’s episode, I’m giving you a behind the scenes look at what the Lord is teaching me about content in the season that I’m in. As Christian mamas that want our lives to be focused on Christ and glorifying Him, we all want to be more content in our day to day lives and find joy in everything we’ve been given. But, I don’t know about you, but that can be a LOT easier said than done.  I’m sharing some vulnerable stories on how I’ve navigated the majority of my life in this area, what I wish I learned earlier, and what it looks like to be content as a stay at home mom who has big dreams and goals. The Lord has taught me some surprising lessons in my life recently about contentment and finding joy in the season that we’re currently in, instead of just looking ahead to the next constantly.  I want to share some of these lessons as I’m learning them just like I would sitting down with a friend catching up on what the Lord is doing in our lives so that is the feel of this episode. It’s a raw and real kind of episode and I’m praying it is an encouragement to you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, we’re going to get into the nitty gritty of independent play for kids. We all want more time to get things done around the house, maybe you’re in a season that you need to sneak in a few minutes of work when your toddlers are still awake, or maybe you just want to drink your coffee and read your Bible in peace for a few minutes. Independent play is something that is talked about a lot and I feel like pretty much ALL moms want their kids to have this skill, especially in today’s society of constant distraction and screens and overstimulation. I’m going to teach you 3 practical habit shifts that you can start applying today to help your kids have longer stretches of independent play time daily. This is going to be a juicy one, friends, let’s get into it! I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m sharing with you my 4 step system that helps me get more done as a busy mom trying to manage a lot of different areas of life (my kids, marriage, homesteading and gardening in full swing this time of year, my business, being involved in community, etc.). This system that I use daily to prioritize what needs to get done each day and then actually DO IT has vastly improved my productivity, helped manage my expectations for each day AND how much I’m able to practically accomplish each day. Probably the top area we all feel like we’re lacking in as moms, especially moms of littles that require a lot of daily care and attention, is time. The hard truth is we all have the same amount of time in a day. It’s up to us how we prioritize and spend that time. And this 4 step system I’m going to share with you today for planning my days and prioritizing what needs to be done each day literally saves me 2 hours PER DAY. That’s 14 hours A WEEK, friends. That’s a part time job. This is life changing. Make sure you have something to take notes on, a pencil and pen or the notes app of your phone because you’re going to want to take notes to start implementing this asap. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! Are you struggling to balance growing a business (or dreaming of starting one!) in the mom cracks of your day? Do you feel FRUSTRATED for never having as much time as you’d like in this season so it feels like you have to pick and choose between being a good mom or being a good business owner? We GET IT. In today’s episode, this is the second half of my interview with Jordan Jones and we are talking all about balancing work and motherhood. How to fit work time into the very limited time you have as a mom, how to figure out what your top priorities are in business, and even some honest truths on what we are laying down in business for the sake of balance. We’re also chatting about simplifying daily rhythms and systems in our personal life to help us actually achieve our goals in the business side of our life as well. And some vulnerable stories on over-committing, surrendering our businesses to the Lord, and choosing how we show up and fill our days in this season. There is so much practical encouragement and tips from 2 moms growing businesses in the cracks of our day, while also balancing full time SAHM life. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy!

Hi, friend! Do you REALLY want to be reading your Bible every day but find yourself in a season where honestly, you’re just not? This episode is for you. If you’re a new mom, seasoned mom, mom of many, or mom of one, you probably can resonate that it is hard to find your balance prioritizing your faith, marriage, kids, work, home, all the major areas of your life and sometimes, you find yourself in a season where your biggest priority simply isn’t being reflected in your daily habits. In today’s episode, we are diving into all things quiet time routines with my friend Jordan Jones from the Work and Worship podcast. How to find a quiet time routine that works for you in the season you’re in, how to finally be consistent with it, and how to prioritize your relationship with the Lord even in this season of motherhood with little kids, little sleep, and maybe a little less patience when your quiet time (or maybe not so quiet time) doesn’t go as seamlessly as your quiet time routine prior to kids. We are also chatting about how Jordan and her husband started Daily Kairos and the journey the Lord led them on to creating the prayer journal that has had such an impact on the prayer life of so many! I know you guys are going to get so much wisdom, encouragement, and practical tips for prioritizing your relationship with the Lord as a busy mom and finding a quiet time routine that you can actually stick to. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs! KyAnn   Mentions: Daily Kairos Prayer Journal: https://dailykairos.com/ Use code: KYANN for 15% off Kairos journals!

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m walking you through my exact current morning routine with 3 kids 4 and under. How I’m starting the morning solo, how I WISH I was starting my morning (spoiler alert: I’ve totally slacked on a core must have rhythm in my days recently and we’re going to chat about why + how to fix it), and the general framework that the kids and I use to structure our mornings at home to make sure the things that need to get done are getting done and we’re still building in that intentional time for connection and quality time together.  If mornings feel a liiiittle chaotic in your house right now, this is the episode for you. I’ve been there when you have multiple little ones and they all need a LOT from you in this stage so mornings feel pretty much the LAST thing from restful. It feels like you’re waking up and just jumping from one thing to the next until you finally get them in bed for nap time in the afternoon.  You know you WANT to have some of that slow, intentional time with your kiddos to read to them, maybe play with them for a few minutes, go on a walk, but it just feels like the morning goes by in a blur of changing diapers, feeding babies, giving snacks, cleaning up toys, and suddenly it’s lunchtime and you don’t even know where the time went! If you’ve ever wanted to just be a fly on the wall in how other SAHM’s structure their day, this is the episode for you! This framework will give you a peek into the actual routines and systems that are working for our mornings currently and I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! In part 2 of today’s conversation, Kristin Wall is sharing some of her experiences on dealing with trauma in motherhood and how that has shaped some of her motherhood journey and their family as a whole. How it has bonded them in a very surprising way, what she would do differently, and even what she now sees in a different lens looking back at what she walked through. We are also chatting about how to find a Titus 2 mentor, a woman who is a few steps ahead of you in the motherhood journey to help support and share wisdom with you in a life-giving relationship. How important this is, what older women are missing about this calling, and how to actually make the first steps towards a relationship like this. I know so many of us desire older women sharing their wisdom and experiences with us, but we have no idea where to even find these women or how to even start the conversation if we do! This episode will give you some practical places to start that I know will be so helpful. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! Have you ever felt like you’re just doing the same things in motherhood (potty training toddlers, change the baby’s diaper, feed the kids, nurse the baby, put everyone down for a nap, give them a snack, pick up toys, and repeat) day after day on repeat? Motherhood is a HARD job and it can often feel like we’re getting lost as moms, especially in the trenches of the little years with toddlers and babies, in just doing the same thing day after day and wondering if anyone even notices. I have such a treat for you today and I’m so excited to introduce you to a sweet friend of mine who is a few steps ahead of me in motherhood and has so much wisdom to offer for young moms! In today’s conversation, Kristin Wall is sharing so much encouragement for the moms in the trenches with littles, how to enjoy the mundane, everyday moments, setting aside time to rest and connect as a family as well as boundaries to protect that time. We are talking about some of those smaller habits and rhythms that truly set the stage to one day experience true friendship and doing life together with your kids in their adult years (which may feel far away right now, but I know motherhood is such a long game and this was such inspiration to model that even now).

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m going to share a few quick tips and strategies for savoring the magic of summer when the days don’t really feel much different with littles. How to soak up the summer experiences you love with your kiddos, how to set up your expectations realistically, and how to practically still enjoy the summer activities you used to, even when it takes almost as long as the outing itself just to get everyone packed up and out the door. (I’m right there with you!) As I was talking to my husband recently, we were talking about how when you have kids, it sort of resets that magical childhood summer for you to experience again through your kids. If you’re anything like me, you start the summer off with great intentions of taking the kids to do all the fun, quintessential summer things and before you know it, summer is over and you have done NONE of the things you imagined doing at the start of the summer. This episode gives you the intentional systems and rhythms to help practically make sure those things are prioritized. We’re going to break down a few things I do now to make all of those magical childhood memories that I really want my kids to grow up with ACTUALLY happen. And no, they don’t have to be expensive or absolutely crazy or anything like that, but intentional summer experiences and memories to savor with my kids without losing my mind. I pray this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m going to give you the #1 habit to help you be more present with your kids in each day. I know you want more quality time with your kids. You have dreamed of being a mom for years and there is so much of your life that you love, but you also find yourself wondering if maybe something is out of whack in your days because you spend more time thinking about your to do list or what needs to be accomplished around the house than you do investing in quality time with your kids.  In the culture and society we live in, making this a priority is HARD. Not only do we practically have so much to do to keep our household running smoothly, manage our social calendar and events, all the realistic aspects of being a busy mom and all the hats we wear, but we also have our phones, watches, devices everywhere constantly screaming at us and trying to steal our attention. It is a HARD balance and that is why I’m creating this episode because I hear constantly from moms that desperately want more quality time with their kids but just don’t know what to practically change. The laundry is constantly piling up, the to do list is never done, and where does the time even go?! This episode will help you to not be just physically present, but MENTALLY present, investing in your kids, soaking up that quality time with them that you crave instead of feeling guilty that you are letting their childhood slip by while you are more focused on your home, to do list, business, whatever it might be than you are your child. I know it’s so hard to find the balance of getting things done while still staying present, but this episode is a really practical one that focuses on the HEART of your children’s childhood and how to be truly present for it in the way you want to be. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs!

Hi, friend! In today’s episode, I’m giving you the first 2 daily rhythms you NEED to start implementing as a busy mom. If you’re struggling with overwhelm, feeling like your brain will never shut off with all the things that constantly need to be done, and you just feel completely SPENT by the end of every single day lately, this is specifically for you. I know it’s so hard to figure out WHAT to change first, what the root of the overwhelm truly is, where to even get started…you know you want more peace in your days and to feel more present, but you just don’t know where to even start. Every time you sit down and think about it, all you can think is that everything in your entire life needs an overhaul and you’re ALREADY overwhelmed and exhausted so how on earth can you decide what areas of your life need an overhaul FIRST? That is what I am here for, friend, and this episode is going to be exactly what you need. I’m going to give you the first 2 specific rhythms to start with and focus in, find consistency for them to become a habit, BEFORE moving on to anything else. We’re not going to overhaul everything all at once and then abandon it 2 days in because we’re completely overwhelmed, this episode is going to give you the boundaries and guidelines you need to really hone it in and start in the areas that are going to make the biggest impact FIRST. I pray that this episode is a blessing for you! Enjoy! Hugs!
