Pushing Through Life's Challenges: How Running Builds Your ResilienceIn this episode of The Real Life Runners Podcast, I'm getting real about feeling overwhelmed — from home repairs to family chaos to just life piling up. Honestly? My first instinct is often to shut down. But that's not where growth happens.Today, I'm sharing how running teaches us to keep moving forward, even when life feels heavy. The same skills we use on the run—taking one small step, focusing on the next breath, shifting “I have to” into “I get to”—can help us navigate life's messier moments too.I'll walk you through how I'm leaning into these strategies myself right now, and how you can use them to stay grounded, find your strength, and keep showing up… both on the run and in life.00:00 Introduction: When Life Feels Overwhelming01:10 A Messy House and a Heavy Heart02:34 Pushing Through the Tough Times05:06 The Power of Gratitude and Reframing05:55 Running as a Metaphor for Life08:46 Zooming In and Zooming Out12:58 Taking the Next Right Step18:51 Embracing the JourneyJoin the Real Life Runners Team today! https://www.realliferunners.com/teamJoin the Team! --> https://www.realliferunners.com/team Thanks for Listening!!Be sure to hit FOLLOW on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favorite podcast player Leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

I don't know about you, but in my home the laundry room is considered one of the most important rooms. It's command central. When my kids were still at home it was also a disaster on most days. Oh, it might be clean for a few brief hours, but then when everyone started slinging off boots and muddy clothes, you'd never know I'd darkened the door that day. Many days the frustration of laundry, picking up clothes, blankets, cups and shoes (the list could go on infinitely) is overwhelming, especially with kids in the home. Before my children flew the nest, I'd get mad and start to spew at them, wanting to ask the question my mom used to ask us in jest (mostly), “What'd your last maid die of—overwork and underpay?” I always laughed at that question, but now I can appreciate the significance of it. That's sure what it feels like sometimes. Listen as I share a perspective I learned years ago that helped me no blow a fuse every time I walked in the door to a messy house and laundry room.

In this episode, Dave and Ann Wilson discuss the concept of a "sacred home" and how to cultivate an environment that prioritizes faith, simplicity, and connection over perfection. The episode opens with a humorous and relatable story about one host's embarrassing moment as a young mom when her parents unexpectedly visited and her house was a mess. Despite the chaos, she emphasizes the importance of creating a home where Jesus is at the center, not one that's always perfectly tidy.Jennifer Pepito, a special guest, shares her wisdom on the importance of simplicity in the home and the role women play in setting the tone for a sacred environment. She discusses the importance of decluttering, minimizing distractions, and ensuring that family time and connection with God are prioritized over maintaining a pristine home. This leads to a conversation about the need for balance in life, and Jennifer talks about the nine habits of rural life that bring peace and stability to mothers. One example she shares is the story of Madeleine L'Engle, who, despite personal struggles, maintained her commitment to faith and family, illustrating that balance can help moms navigate the chaos of life.The conversation turns to the topic of forgiveness, both in terms of personal relationships and the necessity of forgiving oneself as a mother. The hosts reflect on how unforgiveness can create bitterness, affecting both personal well-being and family dynamics. They share examples of how bitterness has affected families and relationships, noting that letting go of anger and resentment is crucial for fostering a sacred home environment.The episode also explores the topic of simplicity, specifically how it can help reduce distractions and allow for more meaningful connection with God and family. The hosts discuss how the culture of busyness, particularly in America, often leads to the accumulation of excess stuff, which becomes overwhelming. Instead, they suggest practicing simplicity by minimizing possessions and focusing on the things that truly matter: family, faith, and purpose.Finally, the hosts touch on the importance of prayer in creating a sacred home. They share the story of Amy Carmichael, a missionary who was deeply committed to prayer and sought to create a sanctuary for those she served. They emphasize the importance of making prayer a daily priority, even in the midst of a busy family life, and how doing so can align a mother's heart with God's purposes. The episode concludes with an invitation to dive deeper into the principles shared in Jennifer's book, Habits for a Sacred Home, which offers practical advice for living a faith-centered life in the home.

One of New Zealand's finest voices, Marlon Williams has released his fourth studio album – written entirely in te reo Māori. The Kiwi musician has a global presence, having collaborated with the likes of Florence + the Machine, and toured with legends like Bruce Springsteen, bagging six NZ Music Awards and an APRA silver scroll. But for ‘Te Whare Tīwekaweka', Williams returned to his roots. Translating to ‘Messy House', Williams told Jack Tame the title is a metaphor for the pains of chaos and creation, and how creativity often comes from disorder. “You have a house full of, of ideas, and, and you sort of sit quietly and let them talk to each other, and then hopefully they form some sort of cohesive thing.” The idea of writing an album entirely in te reo has been floating around Williams' brain for a while, he was just waiting for an excuse to begin. “I grew up speaking a little bit,” he told Tame. “I went to Kōhanga Reo, but it all sort of drifted away from me again as I went into my, moved on into childhood, into primary school.” Although he drifted away from speaking the language, Williams didn't stop singing in te reo. “It's just such a, a beautifully, a beautifully sung language.” “I always knew at some point that I was gonna come back around and, and give myself an excuse."

Are you ashamed of the constant mess that surrounds you in your home? Do phrases like “cleanliness is next to godliness” and the story of the Proverbs 31 woman make you feel like you'll never measure up? Do you feel like your brain is broken because you just can't get your act together and “just get organized”? Hope is here, friend. Today I'm chatting with Dana K. White from A Slob Comes Clean and the author of the brand new book Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart. We have a fantastic conversation about the lies we believe about our self-worth when it comes to the state of our homes, and the actual truth: you don't need to have it all together to enjoy the peace and freedom that comes from God's grace - and the state of your home is NO indication of your worthiness or the strength of your faith.

Chaz and AJ had their friend and comedian, Vince Berry in studio this morning. Recently, Vince agreed to pay another friend and comedian, Emily Siero, to help him clean his house. Emily was on the phone to share what she saw, from old chicken bones and dirty dishes, to a bathtub being used as an ashtray, and more. 

Send us a textWith the holidays, clutter, and just the daily struggle to keep a house clean, it can feel like an added weight to practice hospitality and invite others into your home. It can also be a source of shame. Author and decluttering expert, Dana K. White discovered God's grace through the struggle of a messy home, and offers both spiritual and practical insights from her new book Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House. Whether you need some inspiration to start decluttering or an extra measure of God's grace in your life, we hope you are blessed by the conversation.Support the show

Dana K. White's message speaks to listeners who feel overwhelmed by the pressures of perfection, offering them the freedom to embrace the truth that our worth isn't defined by a spotless home but by God's unconditional love. In Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy Home, Dana reassures us that God's grace is present in every bit of our chaos, focusing on our hearts, not our countertops.Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Messy House is a book about God's grace, using an oddly specific example that feels both too unimportant and too daunting. The title doesn't mean, “Don't bother cleaning your house. Jesus doesn't care.” It means you need to stop thinking of each pile as something Jesus is mad about.Shame is paralyzing. Removing the shame from this struggle by understanding how God sees you, what He wants from you, and that He created you with exactly the brain that you have makes change possible. “Accepting that I am designed instead of defective removes the shame which allows me to finally make progress.”“Cleanliness is next to godliness” isn't in the Bible, but too many people assume the concept is true. That assumption is dangerous, both for those who love to organize and for those who are bewildered by their homes. “Grace isn't there to fill in the gaps after I've done all I can do, it's the entire foundation on which I stand.” Jesus “doesn't want you to depend on or rest in anything other than Him. Even good things (like getting your house under control) can cause your heart to get off track, and Jesus cares very much about your heart.”The first instance of Jesus directly calling out hypocrisy in religious leaders was triggered by the issue of cleanliness. He used their criticism of His disciples eating with unwashed hands as an example of their focus on tradition over truth and the danger of turning non-spiritual issues into spiritual issues.Weakness is a gift from God. Your weakness, your struggle, your pain, whatever it is, is there to help you understand that you need God. While cleaning isn't a spiritual issue, it is an amazing spiritual image, created to help us know God more through the way His creation works. Those of us who struggle with this issue have the opportunity to understand certain spiritual principles more deeply because of our struggle. Dana K. White Dana K.

Why does a messy house give me anxiety? Why can't I motivate myself to clean since I had kids? Am I just a lazy mom? Moms often worry about these things, feeling immense pressure to keep a clean house and experiencing shame when they fall short of those expectations.  As moms, we can't always buy ourselves more time to clean. But we can approach the concept of cleaning differently, learn to overcome our anxiety around cleaning, and develop simple tips for keeping the house functioning without getting overwhelmed.  Today, I'm joined by KC Davis, author of How to Keep House While Drowning, known as Domestic Blisters on TikTok and founder of Struggle Care, to discuss reframing our thinking about “the mess” and tips for cleaning with kids.

Hey Mama, I felt so trapped for YEARS as a stay at home mom. Now, I know those difficult seasons were preparing me for what was coming up. I was wishing I had more mom friends, but never leaving my house to make friends. Felt like my house wasn't as nice as others or not clean enough to have someone see it... I felt trapped in the mess and daily responsibilities of raising my children.  Looking back, I can see how many years of my life I wasted by that embarrassment. I was hiding behind so many excuses! I still get distracted by the business, but NOW, I know what to do to stay focused and to keep myself on the right path.  Do You?  HUGS, Jenn   WEBSITE: www.thesosmom.com  EMAIL: hello@thesosmom.com

For unschooling parents who have kids underfoot all day long, diving into projects and strewing their stuff all over the house... let's just say that carefully folded socks do not tend to rise to the top of the priority list! Why I'm bringing this up on an unschooling podcast is because Marie's new focus is about shifting perspectives, prioritizing relationships and focusing on what matters. Now she's speaking our language!I've also included a bit written by Shannon Loucks about our houses being a mess. It's lovely - you won't want to miss that - and it's linked at the blogpost/transcript.And if you're interested in more from Shannon, her book is available: Love More: 50 Ways to Build Joy into Childhood.UNSCHOOLING RESOURCES:Creating Confidence Membership group - where parents are sharing how to get more confident with this unconventional way of NOT duplicating school!

20230203 - The Magic And Importance Of A Messy House by Kevin McCullough Radio

Whats the difference between RESET & Cleaning Daily How this would help you if you don't like Cleaning (like me lol) How it can reduce the stress in your life and free up time!   -Kawai     Let's be Friends! -> https://www.instagram.com/kawai_ahquin Website -> http://www.homeschoolingentrepreneurmom.com

A little bit about Jen Kosuda: While I have been writing my entire life, I started to work on this four-part series, The Art of a Messy House, eight years ago. Then, after a time of fasting in 2019, I was prompted to let go of the past and “become who I needed when I was younger.” This turned my childhood wishes into my work, and I started publishing. In addition to this, being a middle school English Language Arts teacher adds experience to not only my writing but also my passion for my purpose. My main mission in life is serving God. Inspired by my faith and love for my family and friends, I now live to bring positivity to others each day. So far, I have published How to Be Kind and How to Be Fearless, two books in The Art of the Messy House children's part of the series. The Art of a Messy House is part of my mission to mainstream faith in a way that brings hope to others. After I was set free from decades of battling anxiety, anorexia nervosa, and depression, I promised never to stop sharing this joy and love with others as I learn to love my mess. Questions for you! 1. Let's talk about your relationship with rest. When your body is getting heavy and your attitude snippy, do you realize it might be time for a break? 2. How often do you feel tired or worn out? 3. Does feeling tired frustrate you? 4. Do you believe God wants you to press on and persevere even when you're tired and need a break?

Why does a messy house give me anxiety? Why can't I motivate myself to clean since I had kids? Am I just a lazy mom? Moms often worry about these things, feeling immense pressure to keep a clean house and experiencing shame when they fall short of those expectations. As moms, we can't always buy ourselves more time to clean. But we can approach the concept of cleaning differently, learn to overcome our anxiety around cleaning, and develop simple tips for keeping the house functioning without getting overwhelmed. Today, I'm joined by KC Davis, author of How to Keep House While Drowning, known as Domestic Blisters on TikTok and founder of Struggle Care, to discuss reframing our thinking about “the mess” and tips for cleaning with kids. Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3Ku93VC

And I've got the perfect guest for this topic, my good friend Emily Ley. She's an author and speaker who helps people simplify their lives. Finally, we'll end the show with a few journal questions about how to be content-no matter the state of your home.   5 Ways to Stop Obsessing About the Mess in Your House Sometimes the state of our house can have an impact on the state of our mind. I've been there. That's why I want to share five simple things you can put into practice so you can stop feeling like a mess-even when your house is messy!   How to Make Life Simpler with Emily Ley My friend Emily Ley is a speaker, author and simplicity expert. One of the things I love about her teaching is that she gives small, practical tips we can use every day to organize and manage our lives better.   The Secret to Loving Your House "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty." Philippians 4:11-12 (NIV)   Even with a spotless, Pinterest-perfect house, we can still be unhappy with what we have. That's why this verse from Philippians is so powerful: It reminds us that with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can be content in any circumstance! Let's bring this concept home by answering these journal questions: What do you love about your home? How does it change the way you view your home when you set your mind on what you're grateful for? How can you practice being content in your home, your life, and your situations right now?
