Have you ever said yes to something with the best intentions—only to realize later that your capacity just wasn’t there anymore? In this honest Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing a real-time behind-the-scenes moment where I had to make a decision to step back from something I had planned for. Between business and motherhood, my week filled up fast, and even though I technically had time, I didn’t have the mental or emotional margin to do it well. If you’re a mom or business owner learning how to manage your time, balance your priorities, or simply live more intentionally, this episode is a reminder that honoring your capacity isn’t quitting—it’s choosing sustainability. I walk you through what it looked like to step back from something I paid for and was genuinely looking forward to, and why that pivot mattered for my long-term growth. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or unsure when to pivot, this episode will give you a look at what it can look like in real life to pause, reassess, and protect your energy for what matters most. I pray this episode encourages you!

Do you wish you could be more intentional with your money—but don’t know where to start as a busy mom and business owner? This episode is extra special because I’m joined by one of my real-life friends, Patience Axmann, for a conversation around one of the most requested topics: budgeting. And let me tell you, if there’s anyone who inspires me in this area, it’s Patience and her husband Nathan. From running multiple businesses with little ones underfoot to paying off their home by the age of 23 and buying two Airbnbs by 25— their story is incredible. In this episode, Patience breaks down budgeting in a way that actually works for busy moms and business owners. She shares how she and her husband keep it simple with weekly money check-ins (aka financial date nights) while running multiple businesses and raising three little ones. We dive into paying off debt, building wealth as a young family, and learning to steward your finances with purpose—no matter where you're starting from. If you’ve ever felt behind financially or unsure how to move forward, Patience’s story will show you what’s possible when you combine creativity, stewardship and purpose. I pray this episode encourages and inspires you!

Do you ever feel weirdly proud of being the one who “does it all”? Or maybe a little guilty when you finally slow down? In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, we’re talking about the badge of busyness —what it looks like when hustle becomes your default, and how that might be keeping you stuck in a cycle of chronic overwhelm. I’m opening up about the moments I’ve fallen into this trap myself, what I’ve noticed in clients, and why it can be so hard to break free even when we know it’s not sustainable. Together, we’ll look at the deeper reasons behind constant busyness and how our brains can actually crave chaos because it feels familiar. But here’s the good news: God offers us a gentler way. We’ll explore what it means to move at His pace, build humble rhythms into our days, and finally let go of the pressure to prove our worth through productivity. If you’re juggling motherhood, business, and burnout, this conversation is for you. I pray this episode encourages you!

Have you ever felt like if you just had a little more time, everything would finally fall into place? For so long, I thought the problem was that I just needed more time. But what I really needed? Rhythms. In this episode, I’m sharing a raw, behind-the-scenes story from one of the most chaotic moments in my own motherhood and business journey—and the shift that changed everything for me. We’ll talk about what it really takes to move from survival mode to sustainable rhythms, so you can experience more peace, purpose and presence in your everyday life. If you’ve ever felt like peace is out of reach and productivity means sacrificing presence, I am praying that this conversation will open your eyes to a different way forward.

In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, we’re talking about “productivity pit stops” and how to build them into your life. I’m sharing my experience with all-or-nothing productivity, rest cycles and how this has been sneaking into my life in a new way recently. I’ll walk you through what I’m currently doing to change this mentality and the rest systems that have helped me steward work and rest well.

If you're constantly “on” and wondering why slowing down feels so hard, you are going to love this conversation. I’m joined by Carly Kirk, a licensed therapist, mom of (almost) three and co-owner of The Well Counseling Center in Katy, TX. Carly is passionate about helping others find hope and healing and she’s here to talk about something so many moms wrestle with: the inability to truly rest, even when things seem to be running smoothly on the outside. In this episode, Carly is helping us unpack why high-functioning moms often find it hardest to slow down and what’s really going on under the surface when our minds just won’t stop spinning. She is sharing how to identify the early signs of overwhelm and how to build simple, healthy coping skills that make room for rest and presence. If slowing down feels harder than staying busy, I pray this conversation encourages you!

Have you ever felt like pushing through and just hustling harder is the only way to actually accomplish everything you have on your plate?! In this episode, I’m diving into the burnout cycle I used to live in—the one where I’d go all in, burn out, retreat, and start all over again… again and again and again . I’m sharing how I’ve recently realized where this pattern kept showing up in both my business and motherhood, and we’re chatting all about what I did to finally get out of that continuous loop I was stuck in. What it looks like to build a life you can actually sustain, especially when the “Pinterest-perfect” plans inevitably fall apart. And I’m inviting you into the kind of rhythms that don’t just work on your best days—but the hard ones, too. If you’re tired of feeling behind and ready to find a new way forward, this episode is for you. Hugs! I pray this episode encourages you!

Are you juggling motherhood, business and home life ending the day overwhelmed and feeling like you got nothing done? In today’s episode, I’m bringing on one of my incredible students, Jill Garza—a fellow mom and entrepreneur who went from reactive and exhausted to calm, proactive and present in her days. Jill shares how she and her husband went from spending nearly $2,000 a month on takeout just to survive to saving over $1,500 a month with simple systems that actually work. We dive into the rhythms that helped her finally get on top of laundry, create margin in her days and free up the mental space to be both the present mom and business owner she’s called to be. If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, feeling guilty and unsure of where to start, this conversation will give you so much hope. You’ll get a real, behind-the-scenes look at how the Simple Rhythms for Busy Moms group coaching program actually works in real time and hear what practically changed for Jill—and how it can for you too!

Ever feel like no matter how much you get done, it’s never enough? Like you’re checking off boxes all day long but still ending the day exhausted and behind? As moms balancing business, home, and everything in between, it’s so easy to believe the lie that we should always be doing more. And when we can't keep up, we start to question if something is wrong with us. In this episode, we’re CELEBRATING the podcast officially being in the world for ONE WHOLE YEAR (can you even believe that?!) and I’m sharing 2 huge announcements so stay tuned for all the details! I’m also diving into 3 must-have rhythms every entrepreneur mom needs—especially if you know what to do but just can’t seem to follow through. We’ll talk about why time management may not actually be your root problem, how your rhythms can actually support your energy and focus, and the small shifts that make a big difference when you're juggling business and motherhood. If you’re ready to move from spinning your wheels to steady momentum, this episode will feel like the permission slip and practical support you’ve been craving.

Ever catch yourself wondering WHY does it feel like I’m always behind on business, home and everything in between? I should know how to do this by now. As moms, we feel the constant pressure to “do it all” without dropping a single ball. If you’ve been quietly carrying the weight of overwhelm, feeling behind, or wondering why everyone else seems to have it figured out, you’re not alone, my friend. In this episode, I’m calling out one of the most common lies that keep moms stuck in burnout and comparison. I’ll walk you through where this belief comes from, how it plays out in your everyday life and what you can do to shift it. You’ll see how your thoughts actually shape your feelings and actions—and how replacing just one thought can bring more clarity, support, and confidence into your days. If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and approach motherhood and business in a more life-giving way, I pray this conversation meets you right where you are.

Welcome, friend, to another Memos in the Margins episode where we’re talking about the one ingredient that actually leads to real, lasting change—especially in the thick of motherhood. If you’ve ever found yourself snapping at your kids, running on empty, and unsure how to shift into a version of motherhood that actually feels life-giving, this episode will speak right to that. We’re digging into what it really takes to move from survival mode to a season of balance as a wife, mom and business owner. You’ll also hear a real-life moment that unfolded mid-recording involving a baby squirrel and my daughter (TBD how this will turn out). It’s a reminder that even in the chaos, growth is possible—and often found in the most unexpected places. I pray this episode encourages you!

Birthdays used to feel like a marathon in our house with so much excitement, planning, and honestly, so much overwhelm. In the early years of motherhood, I found myself going all out, trying to make birthdays as magical as possible, only to end up completely drained by the time it was all over. With multiple kids, it started feeling like birthday celebrations stretched on for weeks and I knew something had to change. In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing how we’ve created a birthday rhythm that keeps the magic without the chaos. From simple traditions to realistic shifts that fit our season of life, I’m talking about what’s worked, what we’ve adjusted and how we make birthdays feel special without stretching ourselves too thin.

Sometimes the lessons we need most come in the middle of everyday motherhood—like managing a toddler meltdown over a stuffed animal. In this episode, I’m reflecting on the unexpected ways life has been teaching, stretching, and refining me in this season of motherhood. We’re also talking about the fact that you’ll never get what you want if you don’t ask for it. It doesn’t mean you’ll always get a yes, but not asking at all guarantees a no. This simple truth had me reflecting on where I’ve been holding back—especially in my faith—and what it looks like to surrender and pray bold prayers, even when it feels uncomfortable. I’m also sharing an update on my new daily habit and how it’s been transforming my mindset. I pray this episode encourages you!

Does adding more structure to your days feel like it would just add more stress? Maybe you love the idea of routines but worry that scheduling everything will leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. As a mom, some days just don’t go as planned, and the idea of sticking to a set schedule can feel impossible. But what if I told you that having structure actually gives you more freedom?

In today’s episode, I’m getting into the weeds of how I homestead and the simple rhythms I follow every spring to set up our garden for success.

Ever had a day where you wake up with big plans only to have them completely derailed by a sick kiddo? In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, we’re talking about those inevitable moments when sickness hits the house and everything has to pivot.

But instead of feeling frustrated, what if we leaned into the joy of being the one our kids need most? We’re also sharing our approach to tackling weekend tasks and finding the balance between productivity and quality family time. Getting things done matters, but so does slowing down and making space to enjoy the moments that fill your cup for the week ahead. I pray this episode encourages you! Hugs!

Do you ever feel like you’re always chasing the next goal constantly thinking, I’ll be happy when… instead of enjoying where you are right now? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the importance of marking the journey, not just the destination. I’m sharing a conversation I had with my husband this weekend that completely shifted my perspective on celebrating progress, even when things don’t go as planned (including a little birthday mishap!). This episode is part of a more casual, voice memo-style series where I bring you behind the scenes into the real, messy, beautiful moments of everyday life. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you have to earn the right to celebrate, I hope this conversation encourages you to pause, reflect, and find joy in the journey—because that’s where life really happens.
