Powerful Parenting + Joyful Homes // Special Guest Nicholeen Peck (Episode 31) Jan 19, 2016

Show notes

At a time in my life last fall when I was feeling bright with hope for my future, I was also feeling incredibly overwhelmed about my life at home. I worried about how our family could reach some of our goals when our home life felt so draining and exhausting. Honestly, it often felt like chaos. At this moment of feeling unsure of where to turn to bring things into greater order at our home, Nicholeen Peck's book Parenting: A House United came into my life, with the promise of it being able to bring greater order and peace to my home.

Soul Hunger (Episode 30) Jan 13, 2016

Show notes

Within all of us is an itch that can't seem to be itched, a hunger that can't seem to be satisfied. With the intense itch and insatiable hunger subconsciously driving us forward, it can be only natural to grasp at things we think will satisfy, only to be disappointed (and sometimes left more empty than before). Where does this come from? Our souls. Soul hunger can be easy to misidentify and misunderstand. However, as we courageously dare to get more clear on the "why?" behind what we are pursuing, it opens a candid, life-transforming conversation with our souls. We can then know more clearly what will finally ease the itch and resolve the hunger.

Intuitive Parenting + Joyful Homeschooling // Special Guest Jenny Bradshaw (Episode 27) Dec 30, 2015

Show notes

How deeply do you trust your mother's intuition? The path of living joyfully for mothers requires us to get more in touch and live in flow with our intuition. Following our hearts requires great courage, especially when we are being led to do something that seems impossible or that we have heavy judgments about. In today's episode of the Joyful Living Podcast, Jenny Bradshaw joins me to discuss what it actually looks like to develop great confidence in following your intuition with your children and blazing your own trail, especially if homeschooling is calling to you. Listen in to experience deeper confidence in the greatness of living in more alignment with your intuition and your heart, regardless of if this path leads you to homeschooling your children (or if it leads you for only a short season).

End the Body Weight Struggle // Special Guest Calli Lewis (Episode 26) Dec 17, 2015

Show notes

With the new year dawning and holiday parties and goodies abounding, concerns about our body weight can arise for all of us women. It's easy to feel down on ourselves about how tight our pants might be getting or to look at the looming year ahead and dread the slimming down process that we know she should be doing, but also may not really want to do. Calli Lewis joins us on this special episode of the Joyful Living Podcast to talk about what's really going on inside of us with the body weight struggle. She points us to looking toward our beliefs for information about why the weight continues to cling and why we can't seem to keep it off (even when we work really, really hard to slim down).
