When we are in seasons of waiting, it can often feel like something to be endured, rather than enjoyed.
How can we “wait well” even if we’re in a season of overwhelm? How can we find contentment rather than wishing it away? How do we shift our gaze from our circumstances to something greater than ourselves?
On today’s episode I’m speaking to Erika Diaz-Castro, Christian life coach for Christian women, the founder and owner of Her Renewed Strength Co,, and the host of Her Renewed Strength - the Podcast. She is also the host of the upcoming 2024 RENEWED Conference where 10 experts (including me!) will talk about what it means to wait well.
Erika talks about her journey to wait well through financial uncertainty, her 5-year cancer journey, her struggles with drugs and alcohol, and more.
This is a faith-filled conversation that will fill you with hope and encouragement.
Erika is a Christ follower, wife, mama, and graduate student at Dallas Theological Seminary. She is passionate about helping women get in God's Word and grow in their faith as Christians.

Our journeys to a simpler, more intentional life can be influenced by many things - including books, podcasts, our faith, other thought traditions, and more.
Today I have the pleasure of speaking to my friend Diane Boden from the top-rated podcast, Minimalist Moms, where she spreads her ideas and interviews in regards to living a life in the pursuit of less.
For more than a decade, Diane’s goal has been simple to think more and do with less. Her journey has incorporated aspects of her Christian faith, as well as nature, Stoicism, Buddhism, and other faith traditions and philosophies to help her live a more intentional life.
We talk about our guilty pleasure Love Is Blind, as well as the importance of discomfort and boredom, as well as the values we’ve imparted onto our children due to a simpler, more minimal lifestyle.
Diane has been featured on other popular podcasts: The Spillover with Alex Clark, The Mom Hour, Find the Magic, With Intention, and many others. She has also been featured in Simplify Magazine in March 2023. Her first book Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity released in March 2021. She lives in Columbus, Ohio with her husband and three children.

Have you ever attempted to follow a cleaning schedule - but failed?
Do you buy planners and never use them?
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to chores, cleaning, tidying, or home management in general! We need to create chore systems that work WITH our brain!
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Kelly Briggs from Simple Home Mom all about her best tips for approaching chores with self-compassion, especially if you are neurodivergent or have neurodivergent kiddos!
Kelly has five kiddos ranging from 1 to 13 and started her simple living journey after her third child was born, when she realized that routines were needed in order to keep her sanity! She provides practical tips to help moms make their home lives easier. She writes over on Substack and has free and paid posts for those who need more support - offering tips, printables, audios, and more!

In her book The Four Tendencies, author and podcaster Gretchen Rubin outlines her personality framework based upon how you respond to internal and external expectations. Upholders, Questioners, Obligers, and Rebels approach decluttering and organizing differently, which Rubin outlines briefly in her book Outer Order, Inner Calm.
Today I dive a bit more into Rubin’s four tendencies and provide some additional recommendations on how to create a personalzed decluttering plan based upon your type! Resources Mentioned (affiliate links may be included):

Imagine this scene: You’re shopping in Target with one child pulling on your leg and the other grabbing random items off the shelves, wailing, “PLEEEEASE Mommy can I have this?” An elderly woman in the same aisle smiles at you and says, “You’re going to miss this, dear! The days are long but the years are short!”
Or imagine that you buy a parenting book about a discipline approach that your sister-in-law raves about, but when you try it at home it just makes you feel uneasy. But it’s all you’re seeing on your Instagram ads and hearing about from your mom friends, so you decide just to push through, even though it’s making you miserable.
Whether unrealistic expectations are placed on us by well-meaning people, or we place them on ourselves due to our own childhood experiences, it is something that constantly plagues us with self-doubt. Am I doing enough? Am I doing this right?
On today’s episode, I’m talking with Danielle Bettmann, parenting coach at Parenting Wholeheartedly and the host of the Failing Motherhood Podcast, about how we can declutter these unrealistic expectations and have confidence in our parenting again.
Danielle is a positive-Discipline certified parenting coach who empowers parents to crack the code of their strong-willed child's personality, meet their deepest core needs to improve their behavior, and find new levels of patience. An early childhood educator, certified teacher and home visitor, Danielle now equips parents from all over via Zoom!
Instead of inadvertently inviting defiance by using traditional tools or playing "whack-a-mole" with short-sighted reactions, families get on the same page and learn how to cultivate cooperation while being KIND + FIRM at the same time! Host of the well-loved podcast, Failing Motherhood, she's passionate about eliminating shame from parents' vocabulary, reminding them they are the parent their kids need. She is also a mom to two daughters, wife of 15 years to her high-school sweetheart, and an avid fan of sunshine and coffee.
Resources Mentioned:
Connect with Danielle on her website, her podcast, and Instagram.
I would highly recommend her FREE Calm + Confident masterclass where you’ll learn how to master the KIND + FIRM approach that your strong-willed child needs without crushing their spirit or walking on eggshells.
