In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Abbie Halberstadt from M is for Mama for a conversation that so many moms are quietly wrestling with, especially in the season of little ones. We’re talking about what it actually looks like to pursue work while still honoring your role at home as your first ministry. Abbie shares from a wide range of lived experience as a wife, homeschool mom of ten, author, podcaster, and fitness instructor, and how work has looked very different across each season of her life. This is a deeply honest conversation about the tension between calling, capacity, and priorities, and how to seek the Lord in the middle of it instead of defaulting to pressure or comparison.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear practical wisdom on how to keep your role as wife and mom at the center while still pursuing meaningful work, how to discern which opportunities to say yes to (and which to release), and what it looks like to regularly evaluate whether something is truly life-giving in your current season. Abbie also shares how she navigates busy seasons that require more from her, how she approaches stepping back when needed, and the rhythms she uses to stay grounded as her work continues to evolve. Whether you’re building a business from home, working part-time, or simply trying to discern what this season should look like for your family, this episode will leave you feeling both grounded and encouraged.

I pray this episode encourages you!

Hugs!

Trigger Warning: This episode contains honest conversation around grief, loss, and navigating a heavy season. If that feels tender or not supportive for you right now, please feel free to skip this one and come back when you’re ready.

In this Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing a very raw and personal update on where I’ve been over the past five weeks after the unexpected loss of someone incredibly close to our family. You’ll hear what this season has looked like behind the scenes, from dropping everything to be with my best friend and her kids, to navigating the weight and complexity of grief in real time. I’m also opening up about the parts of grief we don’t often talk about and the unexpected emotions that come with grieving alongside someone else.

More than anything, my hope is that this episode helps you feel less alone if you’re walking through grief, and more equipped to show up for someone who is. I’m sharing what I’ve witnessed about the power of community and the importance of acknowledging loss instead of rushing past it. This conversation is unfiltered and tender, but it’s also an invitation to hold your people close, to check in more often, and to remember that even in the heaviest moments, you don’t have to carry it alone.

Hugs!

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my retreat co-host, Jordan Jones, to recap our very first Rooted Retreat — a small, intentional gathering for Christian moms in business centered around business, home life, community, and rest, all rooted in Scripture. We’re pulling back the curtain on what it actually looked like behind the scenes, from last-minute pivots and unexpected challenges to the powerful moments that unfolded in the room. We share about the real-time breakthroughs, vulnerable conversations, spontaneous prayer, and the kind of connection that can only happen when women come together with a shared faith and calling.

We also reflect on what we learned as hosts — from honoring our own capacity leading up to the event to intentionally structuring the retreat around implementation, not just inspiration. We talk about what surprised us most about the diversity and depth of the women in the room, and how that shaped the experience in such a meaningful way. Whether you’ve hosted events before or are simply craving a space that supports both your business and your life at home, this conversation will give you a glimpse into what it looks like to build something that truly holds both.

I pray this episode encourages you!

Hugs!
