In this powerful and deeply relatable episode of Between Us Moms, we sit down with Caroline Baudino of Shop With Caroline—a 54-year-old mom-of-two who proves it's never too late to choose yourself and rewrite your story.Caroline opens up about the exact aha moment that changed everything: one phone call from her mom, one honest look in the mirror, and the realization that she needed to invest in herself again. From there, she shares practical, encouraging tips for finding your way back to you after marriage and motherhood—starting small, taking a little extra time in the morning, and getting dressed with intention as an act of self-respect.We also dive into the realities of raising teenage sons, including how to keep communication open (and the surprising sweet spot time of day when they're most likely to talk). Caroline offers wisdom on building a marriage that lasts, rooted in "choosing happy," mutual respect, and honest communication. Married to her husband John for over two decades—and working together—she shares what truly sustains a long-term partnership.Caroline speaks candidly about becoming the caregiver for her elderly parents, navigating a complicated relationship with her mother, setting boundaries, and breaking generational patterns—work that's as hard as it is healing.This episode is honest, empowering, and a reminder that growth, confidence, and self-discovery don't have an expiration date.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is it innocent? Is it weird? Is the internet doing too much? Katie and Hallie share their unfiltered hot takes.And finally in our Mom Algorithm segment … we talk gas.

“Slow living” is often presented as the cure for stress and overwhelm, especially for moms. But what if slowing down isn't the answer at all? Free Smile & Start Attitude Challenge: https://simplyconvivial.com/smileThe speed of life isn't the point. Working in the place God has put us and living in His grace and kindness that makes the impossible doable without stress, fast or slow, is the point.In this episode, I explain why slow living is a false ideal and how chasing a peaceful aesthetic can actually increase anxiety and burnout. Peace doesn't come from fewer responsibilities, fewer people, or a quieter-looking life. It comes from aligning our expectations with God's calling and trusting His grace to equip us for the work He's given us.Read the article version here: https://www.simplyconvivial.com/blog/slow-living-is-a-false-ideal/Minimizing your life doesn't automatically remove stress, social media aesthetics distort our standards, and Scripture calls us to zeal in good works, not retreat from them. God may call you to seasons that feel full, demanding, and intense. You can be cheerful and content in busy seasons, too.The speed of your life isn't the point. Faithfulness is.Christian homemaking takes deliberate practice, not perfect systems.

It's worth talking about, sharing strategies for, and growing in together.That's why I created Convivial Circle—a community for women who want to practice cheerful, faithful stewardship at home without chasing perfection or pretending the work is effortless.Inside Convivial Circle, we• confront perfectionism together• practice baby-step progress• build routines that fit real families• develop accountability through small standup groups• grow in skill, confidence, and joyful responsibilityIf you're tired of trying to fix overwhelm on your own, this is your invitation to stop isolating and start building momentum with support.

If systems alone could fix overwhelm, you wouldn't still feel overwhelmed.By the time most homemakers find this video, they've already tried planners, routines, schedules, and organizing systems. The problem isn't that those systems failed. The problem is that systems were never meant to be the starting point.In this episode, I explain the mindset shift that actually dissolves overwhelm: moving from perfectionism and control to stewardship and faithfulness.You'll learn• why perfectionism looks productive but leads to procrastination and burnout• the difference between control and stewardship in homemaking• why faithful action today matters more than ideal conditions tomorrow• how iteration replaces guilt with growth• why small, incremental steps expand your capacity over timeOverwhelm grows when you measure yourself against an imagined future version of your life. Peace grows when you steward what's right in front of you with humility, faithfulness, and patience.This video introduces iteration—the practice of making small changes, evaluating what's working, and building forward over time. It's the opposite of chasing perfect plans, and it's how real progress is made in real homes.If you want help practicing this mindset, my free Smile & Start Challenge will give you daily encouragement and simple, incremental steps by email.

Overwhelmed by all there is to do at home? If you feel like you're failing at managing your home, ask yourself this first: what standard are you judging yourself against?For many homemakers, discouragement doesn't come from real life. It comes from comparing their homes to idealized images on Instagram and YouTube. Soft music. White farmhouses. Perfect routines. No interruptions. No mess. No real work.That picture is not the goal—and it was never meant to be.In this video, I explain how perfectionism sabotages your attempts to get organized and why so many systems fail before they even begin. The problem isn't your effort or your desire to be responsible. The problem is trying to live up to a false standard that doesn't match real family life.You'll learn• how perfectionism hides behind “high standards” and good intentions• why planning and organizing often turn into avoidance• how perfectionism creates the boom-and-bust cycle• why baby steps are the only way out of overwhelm• how 10 minutes of real action beats perfect plans every timeReal progress in homemaking comes through steady, incremental improvement—not flawless execution or aesthetic ideals.If you want help getting started, I have a free Smile & Start Challenge that delivers three simple baby steps by email over three days.

Overwhelm isn't caused by how much you have to do. It's caused by perfectionism.If you constantly feel behind, discouraged, or frozen when you look at your home, this video explains why. The problem isn't your schedule, your kids, or your to-do list. It's the unrealistic standards you're measuring your real life against.In this video, I explain• why a full life is not the same thing as an overwhelming life• how perfectionism creates paralysis, procrastination, and burnout• why planning and organizing often make overwhelm worse• how perfectionism fuels the boom and bust cycle so many moms experienceOnce you can identify perfectionism at work, you can start undoing it.If you want a simple way to begin letting go of perfectionism, I'll send you my free Smile & Start Challenge by email. You'll get three short, practical emails that help you take small steps instead of chasing perfect plans.

If you have a love-hate relationship with planning (like I do) or think planning sessions are unattainable for a busy, overwhelmed mom - today's episode is for you. I'm joined by Sarah Hart-Unger - practicing pediatric endocrinologist, mom of 3, writer, and co-host of the Best Laid Plans and Best of Both Worlds podcasts - for a refreshing, grace-filled conversation about planning that actually works in real life. Sarah shares the core ideas behind her book, Best Laid Plans: A Simple Planning System for Living a Life That You Love , including her flexible approach to nested goals, why “being perfect has no place in planning,” and how a solid master calendar and task management system can dramatically reduce mental load. We also talk about why moms of school-aged kids may benefit from seasonal (quintile) planning instead of quarterly planning, how to use an “ideal week” as a helpful reality check (not a source of guilt), and why making space for fun is a critical — not optional — part of any planning system.   This episode is full of practical wisdom and encouragement for anyone who feels overwhelmed, behind, or convinced they “don't have time” to plan. Sarah Hart-Unger is a practicing pediatric endocrinologist, writer, and podcaster with a passion for planning. She loves to share her systems and techniques with others through courses and live planning retreats. She lives with her husband and three children in South Florida. She has been writing most days for over 20 years at theshubox.com.

In this episode, I talk with longtime Convivial Circle member Laney Homan—wife of 29 years, mom of eight, and soon-to-be grandma—about how she finally stopped throwing out her systems every time life went sideways and started iterating instead.Laney shares how:    She moved from “fix my whole life with a new plan” to making small, realistic tweaks.    Weekly reviews help her juggle homeschooling, work, and training for half marathons.    She handles short-term disruptions (like giant laundry weeks and clothing swaps) without declaring her whole routine “broken.”    She uses simple tools—weekly review, daily card, interval planning—to think clearly and respond wisely when life piles on.If you're tempted to scrap everything and start from scratch every time your plans blow up, Lainey's story will give you a saner, more sustainable way forward.
