Description

In a culture trying to sell us the lie that we should be anything but “just a mom”, Joy Filled exists to come alongside you and help you thrive in this season at home and experience the fullness of joy in the simplicity of homemaking and raising a family. The early years of motherhood are hard, but they’re so so good. I’m determined to give these ‘good old days’ everything I’ve got and I’m bringing you along with me.

We’ll host honest conversations on faith, motherhood, homemaking, and everything in between. My prayer is that you leave encouraged in Christ, equipped to carry the weight of motherhood with joy, and reminded of the truth that God has given you everything you need to steward your arrows well.

There is so much joy here. Let’s experience it together.

With the rise of the “homemaker revolution” on social media and the homemaking aesthetic of pretty dresses, beautiful kitchens, and freshly baked sourdough comes *lots* of different feelings - am I right? While it’s a beautiful thing to be inspired by so many amazing women who do a wonderful job of sharing their homemaking, it can also leave you wondering, am I doing this right? Am I really a homemaker if my reality doesn’t look like that.  Here’s the thing - I love the homemaker aesthetic. I think wearing dresses makes me more productive. I have tried and failed TWICE now to learn the art of sourdough (I’ll get it eventually!). I love that homemaking is making a comeback! But the truth is: the heart of homemaking is so much more than all of those things.  As I’ve fought comparison in my own homemaking journey, God has been so faithful to renew my mind and remind me of the true heart of homemaking. So in this episode, I’m sharing with you 4 simple truths about homemaking that God has been reminding me of in this season that I hope will encourage you in your own homemaking — whatever that may look like.  CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM  JOIN THE NOTICERS CLUB  This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

One of the things that freed me up the most in my motherhood journey was realizing that I don't always have to LIKE every single part of being a mom. I don’t have to like the 3 am wake up calls and poop accidents and toddler attitudes in order to do this job joyfully. If nobody’s ever told you that, let me be the first to fill you in on this secret - loving motherhood and doing it joyfully doesn’t mean you have to like every single part of it! Let’s just be real, nobody likes every single part of it. Today we’re answering the question, “how do i remain joyful even in the parts of motherhood i probably wont ever look back on and miss?” So let's dive in!  CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM  JOIN THE NOTICERS CLUB  This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

How can we see God even in the messy mundane moments of motherhood? The answer might be more simple than you think. See, it’s easy to feel far from God in this season of life – you’re busy, you’re tired, you hardly have a moment to yourself these days. But God’s Word promises us that if we seek Him, we will find Him. The more we look for Him, the more we’ll begin to see evidence of His goodness all over our lives. Yes, even in the chaos and the mess.  FULL SHOW NOTES  CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM  JOIN THE NOTICERS CLUB  This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

It’s back to school season! Today I wanted to take some time to talk about back to school and all that this season brings. In my own life, I’ve noticed that this time of year can easily become a time where comparison takes root if I’m not careful, and I’m guessing I'm not the only one. So today I want to give you some encouragement, some scripture to pray over yourself, and some practical things you can do if you find yourself falling into comparison this time of year.  FULL SHOW NOTES  CONNECT ON INSTAGRAM  JOIN THE NOTICERS CLUB  This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

If you’re tired today, this one’s for you. I got to sit down with the incredible Jess Connolly and have an honest and real conversation surrounding her new book, Tired of Being Tired.  Jess and I talk about why we, as women especially, wear tired as a badge of honor, how we got so tired in the first place, how to identify what kind of tired you are, and most importantly - the good news that we don’t actually have to live tired. Jesus came to give us a better way and soul deep rest is ours to enjoy in the name of Jesus. If you’re feeling a little soul-tired today, I hope this helps.   CONNECT WITH JESS  TIRED OF BEING TIRED  CONNECT WITH JENNA  Check out Armoire and use my code JOYFILLED for up to 50% off: www.armoire.style/JOYFILLED  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the whirlwind of busy schedules, prioritizing health often takes a backseat. Yet, simple practices can seamlessly integrate wellness into daily life. Cultivate mindfulness through brief meditation sessions, nurturing your spirit amidst chaos. Opt for nutrient-rich meals, fueling your body with vitality. Incorporate quick exercises like https://medwholesalesupplies.com/product/azzalure-125u-2-vials/ Remember, amidst the rush, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit is paramount.
