Have you ever walked into your kitchen and felt like it was yelling at you? Overflowing snack bins, forgotten leftovers, and no plan for dinner? I've been there too, and in today's episode, I'm bringing you right into my pantry and basement decluttering journey.We're talking about how simplifying your kitchen and food rhythms can calm the chaos and bring true peace to your days. I'll share my three most powerful resets: clearing your pantry with purpose, creating a flexible meal rhythm, and doing one 30-minute prep session each week.We'll also look at what science says about clutter and stress—and what Scripture reminds us about God's design for peace in our homes. This isn't about perfection—it's about stepping into your calling as a homemaker who nourishes her family, body and soul.Let's walk through this together, one shelf, one bite, and one prayer at a time.
As I've been sorting and decluttering—bags to donate, projects to release, spaces to breathe again—God's been whispering something deeper:Letting go is not just about organizing. It's about obeying.Maybe you're in a season like mine—overwhelmed, surrounded by clutter, and longing for peace.Today, I want to remind you (and myself) that sometimes, the spiritual invitation is hidden right in the middle of a messy room.This isn't about perfection.It's about pausing long enough to hear what the Lord might be asking you to release—and trusting that peace and presence follow.With love,Katie
Have you ever tried to sit down with your Bible or spend a quiet moment with God—only to feel the chaos of your cluttered home crowd out the peace you long for?In today's episode, I'm sharing a small but powerful story from our home that reminded me how physical clutter can block spiritual clarity. We'll look at the research, the scriptures, and the gentle truth that letting go of excess makes space for Jesus, peace, and even physical healing.If you've felt overwhelmed by stuff, distracted in your devotions, or weighed down by your home instead of uplifted by it—this one's for you.Let's explore:How clutter triggers stress in your body and nervous systemWhy a clearer space can help you hear from GodThe biblical mindset shift that helps you release what's no longer neededYou don't need to overhaul your whole house—just start with one space. And as you do, I'll walk right alongside you. ❤️With love and grace,Katie

Have you ever sat on the floor, surrounded by keepsakes, and felt like letting go meant giving up on the dreams you once had for your family?This bonus episode, Pouring Out the Heart of It, is a gentle five-minute reflection on what it's really like when decluttering touches the dreams we once held. I'm sharing my honest journey—how moving 19 times with a big family shaped my view of stuff, and how I've learned to let go with peace, stewardship, and trust in God's provision.If you've ever struggled to release items tied to “someday” hopes, this episode is for you. I want this episode to help you tackle real clutter—physical and emotional—so you can let go of items without guilt. My prayer is that it gives you comfort, practical encouragement, and permission to let go.
Have you ever said, “I might need it someday…” or “I just need to organize better…” or felt like you had to declutter your entire home in one overwhelming push?You're not the only one—and those beliefs are lies that keep us stuck.In Episode 304, we're walking through the three most common lies moms believe about clutter, how they quietly sabotage your peace, and the powerful, grace-filled truths that can finally help you move forward. This is real talk for Christian homeschool moms who are tired of being buried in stuff and pressure—and want to start fresh with peace, perspective, and stewardship. You'll walk away with encouragement and practical tools to start letting go—bit by bit, with purpose.
Do you talk mean to yourself too? As if the self-talk wasnt bad enough, some of the most hurtful things we believe about ourselves didn't even come from us. They came from offhand comments, schoolyard shade, or that one person's opinion that we never fully let go of. In this episode, Jayna opens up about some of the things she's told herself as well as things people have said to her. Who would have thought criticism from as far back as elementary school—yes, elementary—could still haunt her mind today and shape how she sees herself, even now. We're diving into the wild ways we self-sabotage: the names we call ourselves, the dreams we talk ourselves out of, and the critiques we treat like truth. But guess what? Just because someone said it doesn't make it real. And just because we've believed it doesn't mean we have to keep believing it. This episode is your invitation to unpack those old stories, rewrite the narrative, and speak to yourself with the kind of love and power you deserve. Afterall, you're not who they say you are, you're who you decide to become. If you're finally ready to serve an eviction notice to your inner critic, then hurry up and press play! iIt's time to take your power all the way back. Let's rewrite the narrative and show the world exactly who we are—unbothered and unstoppable. Listen in as Jayna talks about "spells" others put on us that slow our growth and prevent us from living up to our full potential. She shares lies she was told about herself that she believed and details how they all still affect her to this day.

No, that daily coffee isn't ruining your financial life…..by itself. We love to pigeonhole certain expenses in our life as the ones that are hurting us. Truth is, most probably aren't. It's okay to spend money on fun things like coffess, drinks, clothes, and dining out. There's nothing inherently wrong with buying fun things. However, we can't have ALL the fun things. In today's episode, host Travis Shelton discusses the importance of prioritizing our fun spending on things that actually add value to our lives. When we do, these things become blessings instead of burdens. We can have fun things, but not ALL the fun things.

Have you ever felt judged or misunderstood for the way you raise your children? Maybe it's because you homeschool, because you're protecting a medically fragile child, or because you're making decisions others don't understand. When people don't walk in your shoes, they can be quick to criticize—sometimes even family or close friends.In today's episode, I want to remind you: You're not alone. This struggle is real, and it hurts. But there is hope, and there is comfort in Jesus. I'll share real examples of these struggles and encouragement for those moments when you feel isolated, unseen, or judged. Let's take a deep breath, cast our cares on Him, and find peace together.XOXO, KatieROAD TRIP MYSTERIES ACTIVITY ADVENTURE BOOK:https://amzn.to/48flUHeFREE COMMUNITY!https://urlgeni.us/facebook/HHAHGroupBOOST ENERGY!https://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/peak-energy-activation-stackhttps://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/activation-energy-stackFREE GIFT:10 Secrets To Homeschooling Your High Needs Child(WITHOUT Losing Your Mind)http://herhomeandheart.net/specialneedsMORE GOODIES and FUN THINGS!https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeartherhomeandheart.com
Feeling stretched thin, mama? Between homeschooling, motherhood, and the never-ending to-do list, it's easy to feel exhausted and overwhelmed. But you don't have to stay stuck in survival mode! In this episode, I'm sharing 8 micro habits that have personally helped me reset, reduce stress, and find joy again—even in the busiest, hardest seasons of life.These are the same habits I leaned on while navigating my son's brain surgery, my daughter's medical challenges, and 42 medical appointments in a single month. If they worked for me in the chaos, they can work for you too.
Have you ever read an inspiring book or listened to a podcast that filled you with motivation—only to feel overwhelmed because you don't think you can apply it to your life? Maybe you've thought, “I'm too busy for that,” or “I'll never be able to pull it off like she did.” I've been there, and today, I want to help you break free from that discouragement. In this quick episode, we'll talk about: **How to pray for wisdom and guidance when inspiration feels overwhelming** **The difference between a growth mindset and a fixed mindset—and why it matters** **Simple ways to talk to yourself with kindness, just like you would encourage your kids** **Why failure isn't the end—it's just part of the learning process** If you've ever felt stuck after hearing an inspiring idea, this episode will give you the tools to move forward with confidence and peace. Let's turn inspiration into action—without the overwhelm!

Does the idea of having someone over send you into a tailspin of anxiety about the state of your house, your yard, or even what snack you'll serve? I get it—hospitality can feel overwhelming, especially when we're juggling homeschooling, special needs, or just the busyness of family life.But here's the truth: hospitality isn't about perfection. It's about connection. It's about opening your heart to serve others, even when your home—or life—feels far from Pinterest-worthy.Let's refocus on what really matters: loving others as Jesus does.You've got this, Mama!Praying for you always,KatieROAD TRIP MYSTERIES ACTIVITY ADVENTURE BOOK:https://amzn.to/48flUHeFREE COMMUNITY!https://urlgeni.us/facebook/HHAHGroupBOOST ENERGY!https://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/peak-energy-activation-stackhttps://familysuccess.lifevantage.com/us-en/shop/activation-energy-stackFREE GIFT:10 Secrets To Homeschooling Your High Needs Child(WITHOUT Losing Your Mind)http://herhomeandheart.net/specialneedsMORE GOODIES and FUN THINGS!https://bit.ly/m/HerHomeandHeartherhomeandheart.com
