One of the biggest struggles as a mom with young kids is keeping up with their mess! We love those little people so dang much, but they sure know how to make big messes for being such tiny people, am I right?! And if you’re anything like me, that mess can really take a toll on your mental health. I know my brain is so much clearer when my space is clear. Maybe you feel like you’ve tried everything - you’ve taken all the expert advice, read all the books, done all the things, and you still can’t seem to stay on top of the mess. Sound familiar? Today I’m gonna let you in on a little secret that might change everything for you, as well as peel back the curtain and give you a glimpse into the systems and routines that help keep the Griffith home tidy (well, mostly tidy, anyways).

070 | Mom Anxiety: How to Work Through Anxious Moments and Get Back to a Place of Peace Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

Whether you’re a seasoned mom or a brand new mama, you’ve probably experienced mom anxiety at some point. Anxiousness, stress, and worry show up a lot in motherhood and it can be difficult to handle when you don’t know what to do with those feelings. Personally, I experienced postpartum anxiety after having my first baby and still to this day have moments where those anxious thoughts pop back up and I’m forced to face them.

The good news is, we don’t have to face these things alone and the Bible is very clear about how we should approach our anxieties. Today we’re diving into the topic of mom anxiety, how it shows up in our lives, and what practical things we can do to move through those anxious moments and come back to a place of peace. (because yes, it’s more than just saying “don’t worry!”)

069 | 8 Ways Moms Can Make Money From Home Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

Making the decision to be a stay at home mom comes with a lot of sacrifices, and for a lot of us it means becoming a one income family. Maybe being a stay at home mom was always your plan and you prepared to be a one income family, maybe you never thought you’d leave your job but here you are longing for more time with your kids and a way to replace your income, or maybe you’re somewhere in between and your family income is okay, but a little extra money would be nice.

Wherever you land, today I am going to give you some ideas on how to make money from home without building a personal brand, becoming an influencer, or joining a social selling company. Because while there’s absolutely nothing wrong with those options, those definitely aren’t the only options out there.

068 | 3 Tips to Overcome Boredom and Have More Fun as a Stay at Home Mom Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

Do you ever get bored as a stay at home mom? So much of what you do in your day to day life is repetitive - same books, same routines, and if your kids are anything like mine… cooking the same three meals because you know it’s what they’ll actually eat.

All this repetition can easily make it feel like this season of life is dull, boring, and even a waste of time. So often I hear, and I’m sure you’ve heard it too (or maybe even said it!), “I could never be a stay at home mom! I’d get so bored!”. Today, we’re gonna flip the belief that being a stay at home mom means leading a boring life on its head so you can begin to actually, genuinely, enjoy your life and all this season with your kids has to offer.

067 | Choosing Faith Over Fear No Matter What with Heidi Lee Anderson Feb 23, 2023

Show notes

“What if I don’t have what it takes?”

“What do I do when God feels silent?”

“What if God’s promises don’t line up with my reality?”

“What about when the worst-case happens?”

If you’ve ever asked yourself any of these questions, you’re in good company. Today on the podcast, author and speaker Heidi Lee Anderson is sharing with us how we can choose FAITH over FEAR - no matter what.

Heidi is a writer, speaker, and stay-at-home mom. While crafting Instagram devotionals @heidileeanderson and writing kid’s curriculum @thismotherhen and teaching biblical online courses, she’s a master at cleaning up Cheerios spills and building LEGO towers while simultaneously chugging coffee like a Gilmore. Heidi has a bachelor’s degree in marketing from University of Northwestern, MN, and has spent her career doing ministry—from teaching hundreds in kids’ ministry to writing daily devotionals, Bible reading plans, and small group curriculum as a content developer. After being diagnosed with cancer, Heidi’s fuel is now to make sure that Christ-followers realize, know, and claim the sure promises God offers—in the mundane, amid the heartache, and on top of the highest mountains.

Are you ready to choose faith over fear? Grab your coffee, get ready to laugh and be encouraged, and listen in to this conversation with Heidi Lee Anderson.

065 | The Power of a Praying Parent Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

How often do you pray for your kids? Like, really pray intentional, intercessory prayers for them, not just the bedtime prayers or the prayers at mealtimes? For most of us, if we were honest the answer would be not very often. Today, we’re talking through why being a praying parent is vital for our children and how prayer actually impacts not only them, but the generations to come after them.

064 | 4 Reasons You Need Community, ESPECIALLY as a Stay at Home Mom Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

Motherhood can be a very lonely time for so many of us. It’s hard to make friends as an adult, and it’s even harder to make friends as a mom. Most of the time, it can feel like it’s not even worth the effort to try to find good friends in this season of life, especially because it can feel like everyone else has already found their community. But the truth is this: we weren’t made to do life alone. In fact, the first thing God said wasn’t good, was being alone. We were created for community, we’re better when we’re in community, and we need community. Plain and simple.

Join me as we discuss why community is so vital and how to find true, meaningful connections in this season of your life.

063 | Ditching Anxiety and Exhaustion for Fulfillment and Freedom with Amy Seiffert Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

Amy Seiffert is no stranger to the empty, shameful, anxious feelings that social media often leaves us with.

Amy knows that so many of us feel dissatisfied and empty—emotionally, physically, and even spiritually. Our lives are rushed, overflowing, and we’re low on joy, fulfillment, peace, and purpose. In our spare moments, we turn to our phones, social media, and a million other little things, desperate for relief, but over time, these distractions become an unhealthy diet for our souls—uplifting us for a moment but ultimately denying us the nourishment we need. When we over consume these imposters that promise a temporary boost but actually leave us weak and weary, we become anxious, fearful, and depleted. These addicting substitutes keep us coming back for more, never providing satisfaction.

But, Amy reminds us, there is hope. We don’t have to stay stuck and malnourished. We can become free of shame, disappointment, and anxiety.

Today, Amy Seiffert shares with us how to stop ingesting spiritual junk food and offers simple and replenishing practices like silence, service, and Sabbath that can bring us closer to Jesus. She encourages us to put down our phones, set aside our pride, and let go of the hustle so that we can receive a spiritual diet change that will leave us delightfully content, spiritually healthy, and free to experience the goodness of Jesus.
