For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if thatâs something that doesnât fit what youâre looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week about personal style with Conni Jesperson or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you donât want to miss!
In this episode, I spoke with author, Whitney Lowe to discuss her new book, Set Your Eyes Higher, a devotional designed to help young women navigate life through the lens of faith and abundance. Together, we delve into how shifting from a scarcity mindset to one rooted in Godâs provision can transform the way we approach consumerism, minimalism, and the true meaning of fulfillment. Whether youâre seeking a deeper connection with God or looking for ways to simplify your life, this conversation is full of encouragement to set your sights on a higher purpose.
About Whitney |Whitney Lowe is a Christian influencer who wants to see young women excited about Godâs work: in the Bible, in history, in the world, and in themselves. She writes and creates on Instagram at ScribbleDevs, a project born from the realization that young women simply do not interact with the Bible enough to be changed by its truth. Whitney is passionate about disrupting the toxic scroll of social media with hope, peace, and light straight from Scripture. She lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husbandâa pastorâand their two young children.

Join me for an insightful conversation with Stephanie Malia Kraus, author of 'Whole Child, Whole Life: Ten Ways to Help Kids Live, Learn, and Thrive.' Stephanie shares her experience as an educator, social worker, and mom, discussing her holistic approach to parenting during these ever-changing times. This episode will help you to discover ways to handle modern parenting challenges and learn how simple practices can profoundly impact the health and happiness of your family.
About Stephanie |Stephanie is an educator, social worker, and mom of two school-aged kids. Through her experiences teaching and running a school, she knows getting young people to succeed academically does not always mean they are thriving or ready for adulthood. This was true in my own life. As a high school dropout, I needed people and opportunities within and beyond school to help me succeed.
Today Stephanie works at the intersections of education, youth development, workforce development, and human services. Her work and writing focus on what young people need to build lives and futures they love.
Stephanie is the founder and principal consultant of First Quarter Strategies LLC, a senior fellow for the CERES Institute for Children & Youth at Boston University, a senior advisor for Children's Funding Project and Youth-Nex at University of Virginia, and a staff consultant for the Youth Transition Funders Group.
She has written two books: Whole Child, Whole Life: 10 Ways to Help Kids Live, Learn, and Thrive and Making It: What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World. Her work and writing have been featured on NPR, PBS, US News, EdSurge, Scary Mommy, and more.

Going Deeper episodes will be less structured with a more conversational tone. These conversations will focus on interesting people I've come across that share similar values, perspectives and intentions expressed on the Minimalist Moms Podcast.
Today, Iâm thrilled to be joined by Mike Schroder, the founder of Future Fansâa brand focused on helping kids connect with and enjoy sports. Mikeâs journey started with a simple goal: he wanted to bond with his kids over sports but found that teaching them about football wasnât as easy as heâd hoped. So, he created Future Fans to make learning about sports fun and engaging for kids. In our conversation, Mike opens up about the ups and downs of that journey, the power of intentional parenting, and how sports can bring families closer together. Plus, he shares the unique way Future Fans makes sports education accessible and enjoyable for young learners.

About Stephanie |Hi, Iâm Stephanie, the founder of Lemonaid Solutions. Over the past five years, Iâve refreshed and reinvented hundreds of spaces, helping clients discover the peace that comes from an organized home. As the oldest of five, I grew up in a lively, chaotic household, so I truly understand what itâs like to live with clutterâ and the eagerness for a life with less. When I got older, I experienced the transformative power of an organized space for the first time, and that sparked my passion for becoming a professional organizer. Through my personal experiences, I love being able to help others find the happiness that comes from a home that is simple, organized and beautiful.
