What Does It Really Mean to Be a Homemaker? - S5, E1
We’re back for Season 5 of the Finding Joy in Your Home podcast! 🎉 In this kickoff episode, I’m diving into one of the most-requested and foundational topics: what does it truly mean to be a homemaker? Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom, a working woman, a student, or somewhere in between, homemaking is something every woman is called to in unique ways. I’ll share my own journey of starting marriage with zero homemaking skills, how God shaped my perspective over the years, and why being a homemaker is less about spotless dishes and more about creating a Christ-centered haven. We’ll talk about: Why homemaking looks different in every season How to define your family’s culture and priorities The balance between routines and joy Building a home that nurtures hearts, not just chores If you’ve ever wrestled with what biblical homemaking should look like, or if you’re ready for a fresh encouragement in your daily rhythms, this episode is for you.

A Rightly Ordered Home - S4, E40
What does it really mean to have a rightly ordered home? In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that’s been heavy on my heart: how we as Christian women can faithfully order our homes according to God’s design while recognizing that every family looks a little different. I share some of my own story of working from home, balancing homeschooling, business, and motherhood, and what it’s looked like for Jason and me to wrestle through these questions together. We’ll talk about biblical principles for family life, the beauty of unique family cultures, and the importance of being faithful in the exact season God has given us. If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about priorities, work, comparison, or what “ordering your home” should practically look like, this episode is for you.

My Reading Life Right Now: Favorites, Goals & Fermented Cookbooks?! - S4, E39
After a few years in a reading slump, I’m finally excited about books again, and this episode is a joyful deep dive into what’s been fueling that spark! I’m sharing my current reading stats (57 books and counting!), how I track my progress, and the quirky way I rotate between fiction and nonfiction to stay motivated. You’ll hear about the nerdy rabbit trail I’ve been down with fermented and cultured foods (hello, nine cookbooks in a row), the new Hunger Games prequels I couldn’t put down, and the Trim Healthy Mama book that might just be my favorite read of the year. Plus: a sneak peek at my next cookbook project and our upcoming fantasy novel Hearthstead—coming to the app this fall! If you love books, need a little reading inspiration, or just want to peek at what I’m geeking out over right now, grab your cup of tea (or kefir 😉) and enjoy this cozy, bookish episode.

Getting back to meal planning after a crazy season - S4, E38
After months of chaos, with hospital stays, a move, and postpartum recovery, meal planning completely fell off my radar. But now, I’m picking it back up with fresh eyes and a much simpler, grace-filled approach. In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m easing back into meal planning after survival mode, the strategies that are working right now (including planning just 3–4 dinners a week), and why I’m prioritizing flexibility over perfection. I also talk about how I’m using my own meal planning app to stay on track, how to meal plan even when your life is unpredictable, and the mindset shift that’s making cooking joyful again instead of stressful. If you’re in a messy season or just want a fresh start in the kitchen, this one’s for you.
