We are officially one week away from Christmas! This is a replay from a fun âdate-nightâ style episode my husband Dave and I shared a few days before Christmas in 2023. Dave and I are passing along wisdom we have gleaned over 29 Christmases together, most with a house full of boys. You'll find some important âdoâsâ as well as a few âdonâtââs! Hopefully a few will be encouraging reminders and a few will make you laugh.
We imagine some of you might listen together with your spouse while wrapping gifts, running last-minute errands, or in front of the fire for a stay-in date night. (Of course you can listen all on your own as well. These principles will be helpful to everyone!)

Did you know that you were created for delight? Itâs true! Though, if you are not feeling the fullness of that right about now you are not alone. We live in a fallen world and life can feel complicated and hard. Sometimes even turning to the Bible can feel like another task on our to-do list. Most of us donât like to admit these things, especially in the midst of what is supposed to be the happiest season of all. (right?)
Todayâs guest, Asheritah Ciuciu, is no stranger to this reality. After a season of feeling dried up and burned out, Asheritah discovered the secret to a life of enduring joy. And the good news, it wasnât dependent on doing better or working harder. It was â and always is, all about Jesus!
Listen in as Asheritah explains how we can drink from Godâs river of delights and find in Him the desires of our heart! I think youâll find lots of encouragement in this conversation, and I hope youâll pass it along to your friends who could use a bit more joy in this season (and in the New Year!)

I am so excited to officially kick of the holiday season here on the podcast with this incredibly practical and fun conversation! Krista Gilbert is an executive and personal life coach who helps people and companies âdesign a life they loveâ (how cool is that!?) Sheâs also a personal friend who I enjoy and respect so much!
In this conversation Krista and I talk about the realities of the holidays: They are magical and wonderful but can also be tricky. Expectations sneak in, things donât always go smoothlyâŠkids grow up (and get married!?) Our own parents are aging (and may get sick or pass away.) And if we are not intentional about our mindset, Moms are sure to face a variety of emotional potential pitfalls over the holidays!
Krista offers so much wisdom and so many practical tips youâll want to hold on to: from learning how to âboss our brainsâ to the importance of âconsenting to changeâ. I loved what she shares about âhonoring everyone involvedâ, and I personally canât wait to âhunt the goodâ this holiday season! Find all of this and so much more in this very packed episode. Listen before Thanksgiving if you can (she has some fun ideas for the day!) but be sure to catch this episode sometime this holiday season!

We all know there is no formula for good motherhood (bummer!) Yet, the Bible does offer plenty of wisdom to help us navigate well. By understanding the gospel story and considering how God has made each of our families uniquely, Christian moms have access to the very best guide.
Every day, moms must make decisions...so many decisions! The Bible has clear guidelines for some, but others are less clear and require wisdom and discernment. Today, Emily Jensen, co-founder of Risen Motherhood, joins us to talk about how we can make good decisions as Christian moms. We are drawing from her recent book, Gospel Mom (co-authored by Laura Wifler.)
We cover spiritual disciplines, some good questions to ask yourself as you make decisions, and how to view other moms who may choose to make different decisions than we do! Find show notes and links over at http://www.monicaswanson.com/gospel-mom

If youâve been a mom for more than a minute, you have dealt with difficult emotions. Destructive mommy anger has been one of the hardest issues for me personally, and I am so grateful for Godâs grace in offering me forgiveness, grace, and a new way to parent. Now I am passionate about helping other moms overcome the cycle of overwhelm, anger, and guilt.
Todayâs guest, Natalie Hixson shares my passion, and has dedicated the past 8 years to coaching moms who struggle with anger. In todayâs episode Natalie shares some of her story, as well as practical tools for overcoming overwhelm. I appreciate her wise perspective on mommy guilt, and her âSIT and Prayâ acronym is a helpful tool for any mom who even occasionally gets angry (um, I think thatâs all of us!? đ)
Be sure to see show notes for links to Natalieâs free download, coaching services, and anything specific mentioned in this episode. Please spread the word about this show as it is such an important and little-talked about topic!

As we near the end of this fall series on the most frequently-asked-parenting questions, today we come to the topic that I have probably been asked the very most about: DISCIPLINE! I am grateful to have my husband with me to cover this challenging and potentially divisive, but incredibly important topic!
Dave and I begin this episode with the WHY of discipline. We share Scripture and common sense reasons for disciplining our kids, ideally starting at a very young age. We spend the second part of the episode sharing some of the âhowâ of disciplineâŠfrom our experience as well as the research we have done. We cover the biblical concept of âthe rodâ, as well as using our kidsâ âcurrencyâ to offer natural and logical consequences. Be sure to visit my website show-notes for a free printable with helpful guidelines for discipline!

I am so excited to get to share this honest Mom-chat with my friend Jessica Smartt. I have loved Jessicaâs books (links to them over in my show notes) and getting to know her in real life a couple years ago, and I appreciate her wisdom, conviction, and humor. I think you'll enjoy getting to know her too!
In todayâs episode Jessica shares three helpful parenting âgoalsâ for sibling relationships, and then we go on to cover questions I have received from Instagram messages and emails. We cover a lot! -- From what to do about a mean sibling, to how to handle competitionâŠWhen parents should get involved vs. when to let kids sort things out on their own, and more! I think youâll find this practical and helpful. (And I think weâre going to need a part 2! -- Let us know if you agree over in show notes!)

We all want our kids to have good character, but we donât always consider how crucial character
is to our kidsâ future success. In todayâs interview, former multi-billion-dollar investment
manager, Dennis Trittin, helps us connect the dots and find even more motivation for raising kids
of character.
After over 30 years managing investments and studying successful leaders all over the world,
Dennis shifted his focus to sharing what he had learned with the next generation. Writing books
and speaking to students, parents, and educators, Dennis is passionate about inspiring the next
generation to embrace the kind of character that will help them get jobs, (and not get fired from
them!) nurture healthy relationships, and live happy, fulfilling lives. Today we draw from his
book, What I Wish I Knew at 18: Life Lessons for the Road Ahead.

Welcome to week 2 of this fall series focused on âMost-asked-aboutâ Parenting topics. Today we tackle a hot topic in our culture which I think is incredibly important for parents to tune into.
My guest, Rachel Gilson, has an amazing testimony (I canât wait or you to hear it!) From her background as an atheist and a lesbian, to being confronted with the reality of Jesusâ love for her (at Yale, no-less!) Rachelâs story is powerful. Now as a wife, Mom, and Christ-follower, Rachel is in a unique position to communicate Truth and love to this generation.

This week we kick off a month + of âmost-requestedâ parenting topics. Weâre going to cover some hard topics and some hot topics. Today we kick it all off with a topic important for every parent: Raising mentally strong kids!
My guest, Lauren Gaines, has a background in school psychology and has taught at the University level. More recently Lauren began wearing the title of âhomeschool Momâ.
In todayâs interview Lauren tells us about the cognitive triangle, how to help kids âtake captive their thoughtsâ and the power of metacognition (thinking about what youâre thinking about.) With relatable examples and ideas you can try at home, today (!) I think youâll find a ton of practical help in this conversation!

Welcome to part 3 of my September Womenâs Wellness Series. As we go through these topics, I am very aware that we are just scratching the surface, and I am already working on plans for more of these in the future!
The topic of hormones alone could be a month-long series (if not more!) but I think this honest chat with my friend, Greta Eskridge, is a great start. Greta has had a long and challenging journey with hormones, from PMS to perimenopause. While her story may not offer a solution or specific remedies for everyoneâs struggles, I believe that this girlfriend-style chat will open the door to more conversations ahead. Maybe even conversations between you and people in your life.
If you resonate with Gretaâs story of painful emotions, extreme moods, or other hormonal symptoms that seem to be more than âjust PMSâ I encourage you to see a medical professional, talk to your spouse or a trusted friend, and ask God to help you find solutions.

In this, my most vulnerable episode to date, I share my personal journey overcoming obsessions with food, exercise, and the scale. Beginning with my background as a competitive gymnast, to typical teenage insecurities, to dieting and obsessing as a lifestyle, to laying it all down in surrender to the Lord, and the amazing (though very practical) path He led me to when everything changed! (Including landing at my ideal weight without following any plan!)
Perhaps most importantly, I am convinced that what I share from my journey will be applicable to almost any hangup you might face. The lessons I learned and the freedom I found is available to anyone seeking. I pray it helps you (and please consider sharing this episode with people you care about!)
This episode draws from my book, The Secret of Your Naturally Skinny Friends. Find out more by reading that book and sign up for my Womenâs Wellness email list to receive encouragement, freebies, and updates!

Jeanine Amapola is a popular influencer for Gen Z, but even more, she is wise beyond her years! After a long season of straddling the fence between sincere faith and hidden sin, Jeanine faced the truth: Only a true surrender to God would truly satisfy.
Jeanine joins us to chat through some of the topics in her recent book, Becoming Happy and Healthy. We cover friends (good ones and the toxic type,) adventure, career, and the power of habits. Jeanine opens up about secret sins and the importance of someone willing to tell you the truth. Jeanine's testimony is powerful and I love her heart to point women (young and old) to the gospel.
My favorite part of this interview is towards the end when Jeanine speaks directly to the young women listening. it is a powerful word! I hope you can listen in, then invite your daughters to join you as well.

We do a lot for our kids, but nothing is more powerful or effective as praying for them. Yet, many of us feel intimidated or inadequate in our prayer lives. Life is busy. We are tired. What is the best way to pray for our kids?
Brooke McGlothlin is here to help! In todayâs episode she shares her unexpected journey to becoming a praying mom, and steps that anyone can take to elevate their prayer lives. I love Brooke's focus on praying Scripture for our kids, and Iâll be including a few of the prayers from her book, Praying Mom, over in show notes. There is so much good stuff in this episode (including a closing prayer by Brooke for all of you and your families!) I hope you enjoy this encouraging conversation!

I thought we could all use a little âparenting pep talkâ right about nowâŠAs we wrap up a busy summer and prep for the new school year, we need reminders of how important our role is as parents, the job description God has given us, and the difference we can make in our kidsâ lives through our involvement, support, and prayers.
In this episode I am chatting with Leslie Nunnery, author, podcaster, and host of the popular âTeach Them Diligentlyâ homeschool conference. I love Leslieâs passion for parenting with strength and dignity, her commitment to Godâs Word, and her sincere desire to support families!
In show notes find the specific Bible verses Leslie mentions as well as links to her (new) book, âHow to Create a Legacy Bibleâ, the â40 Day Thanksgiving Journalâ, âHeart Schoolâ and more.

We all have unique interests and strengths, and then other areas that, well, donât come so naturally. (right?) Thatâs perfectly normal. Yet, being well-rounded is important for navigating every area of life. I think it is a good idea to zoom out occasionally and take inventory of how we and our kids are doing in the way of being well-rounded, and balanced!
In this episode I am sharing what I call the âFive Building Blocksâ of a well-rounded student. Whether your kids go to a traditional school, or they are homeschooled (or some combination of the two!) this little audit should be helpful!
If you enjoy this topic, you will really enjoy my BRAND NEW ONLINE COURSE: The Well-Rounded Homeschooler. In this self-paced digital course, I dive deeper into each of the five building blocks with short videos, resource lists, bonus interviews, and tons of beautiful printables. (Though it is a course for homeschool families, I believe any intentional family will get a lot out of it!)

Lindsey Mimnaugh has grown a huge online following for her beautiful curriculums, nature studies, and always-inspiring social media posts (See: Treehouse Schoolhouse online) I love her book suggestions and all of her ideas for training little ones with good habits, life skills, and open-ended play!
Beginning her homeschooling journey before she had kids of her own (by homeschooling other peopleâs kids!) Lindsey has experience and wisdom to share. In todayâs episode we talk about five ways to set toddlers up for success. These are great ideas for turning what can feel like very long days (or was it just me?) into intentional opportunities to shape young lives and prepare kids for a life of learning ahead!
