Think minimalism means a perfectly curated, always tidy home? Think again. Drowning in tides of toys, overflowing closets, and a crazy schedule, Rachelle Crawford assumed you had to be naturally organized to keep a tidy living space. Then she found minimalism: the messy, real-life kind, that is less about perfection and more about purpose. Becoming a messy minimalist is not about turning into someone else; it's about clearing away clutter and expectations to unearth who you really are. Join me today as I speak with Rachelle about her journey into 'messy minimalism' and how we can inspire those around us to begin their own step into minimalism (whether big or small!)

People are excited to show their love by giving gifts (especially during the holiday season) but what happens when you receive something that you didn’t ask for or want? Knowing how to accept graciously is a skill that we all should hone; it should be your goal to make sure to respond in such a way that the gift giver knows you genuinely appreciate the gesture- even if the sweater is itchy or the perfume isn’t your signature scent. Join me today as I talk with Becka Butler regarding tips on how exactly to navigate these (sometimes) awkward moments.

My guess is if you surveyed any mom, she’d likely tell you she desires more intentional time with her child(ren). Whether she’s a working mom or stay-at-home mom, our days fill up fast. Not to mention, as our family grows or, inevitably, as our children grow older, it can be tricky to find the time to intentionally pursue them. Tricky but not impossible. Here today to offer wisdom from her own experience as the mother to seven children is founder of Chatbooks, Vanessa Quigley. She talks about what she’s done to initiate stronger relationships with each of them and how we can apply some of these methods in our own lives.

Looking for a different take on parenting hacks? I'm thrilled to introduce you to Justin Whitmel Earley, a father of four teaching parents how to create structure from mealtime to bedtime through creating purposeful habits. You long for tender moments with your children--but do you ever find yourself too busy to stop, make eye contact, and say something you really mean? Daily habits are powerful ways to shape the heart--but do you find yourself giving in to screen time just to get through the day? You want to parent with purpose--but do you know how to start? His new book, Habits of the Household releases today and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak with him about reestablishing rituals, the connection between our children and our habits, and more.

On today’s bonus episode, Becca Campbell, sleep consultant and CEO of Little Z's Sleep, brings her personal experience and education to the table to answer the question of parents everywhere, "How can I establish a bedtime routine for my child…and actually stick with it?" Becca answers questions such as how do we minimize battles? How do we stick with it? Helpful do’s and don’ts and more.
