272: This Curriculum Is Not the Boss of You24 Oct 202500:17:05

Feeling behind? Burnt out? Like the stack of curriculum you bought is staring you down with judgmental eyes?

Been there, mama. 🙋🏽‍♀️

In this episode of Dreams, Dirt & Grace, we’re talking about the moment when your beautiful, color-coded homeschool plan falls apart—and what to do next. I’m sharing real stories, honest struggles, and what I’ve learned about making curriculum serve us, not the other way around.

You’ll walk away with encouragement, practical mindset shifts, and a whole lot of grace for those "we're behind again!" days.

✨ Because curriculum is a tool—not your taskmaster. And you, mama, are the teacher God chose.

271- Homeschooling in the Wild: How to Keep It Joyful, Simple & Rooted in What Matters10 Oct 202500:26:38

In this episode, we’re diving into the real-life mess and magic of homeschooling. Whether you're knee-deep in lesson plans, wondering if you're "doing it right," or just trying to survive another day without someone crying over math (and it might be you), this one’s for you.

We’ll talk about:

  • How to simplify your homeschool rhythm
  • What to do when you feel burnt out
  • Why joy and curiosity matter more than a perfect curriculum
  • How to invite God into your homeschool planning (without needing a seminary degree)
  • And real-life tips from our own family’s homestead-homeschool mash-up

By the end, I hope you feel encouraged, grounded, and reminded that your homeschool doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. Because your family, your story, and your pace is part of God's perfect plan.

Ever wonder if all this staying home, pouring out, and homeschooling is really worth it?

In this honest episode, I’m sharing a moment where I almost walked away from the calling—and what helped me stay rooted. We’ll talk about the tug-of-war between purpose and pressure, and how God reminded me that this season of motherhood matters deeply.

Takeaways:

  • Doubt doesn’t mean you’re not called.

  • Obedience sometimes looks like staying.

  • Your faithfulness at home is kingdom work.

For the mama who feels tired, torn, or tempted to chase something else—this one’s for you.

268- When I Realized I Was the Problem (Submission, Leadership & God’s Grace in Marriage)29 Aug 202500:20:05

What if the biggest thing standing in the way of God's plans for your family… is you?

In this vulnerable and heart-changing episode, I share the costly and humbling lesson I had to learn about submission—what it really means to walk in biblical order within our homes, and how I unintentionally distracted my husband from hearing God's direction.

If you’ve ever wrestled with control, pride, or the desire to “help” steer the ship… this one's for you, sis.

We talk about:

  • How a good thing can still be a distraction
  • Why “Happy wife, happy life” isn’t always helpful
  • What God showed me when I finally got quiet
  • How to release the need to lead and allow your husband to hear God clearly
  • Practical ways to grow in submission (without shrinking your strength)
  • And the peace that comes when we trust God’s design for our family

This episode is a real, raw invitation to check your heart, pray over your marriage, and remember that submission isn’t weakness—it’s powerful surrender.

✨ Includes a guided prayer and encouragement for every wife trying to walk in God’s will while still learning to let go.

267 — Preparing for Your Homeschool Year (Even If You Don’t Feel Ready)15 Aug 202500:29:17

Preparing for Your Homeschool Year (Even If You Don’t Feel Ready) 🌿 With faith, flexibility, and a whole lot of grace

Feeling behind before the homeschool year even starts? You’re not alone, friend. Whether your books haven’t arrived, your plans feel scattered, or your confidence is shaky—this episode is a gentle hug and a deep breath for your homeschool mama heart.

In today’s episode, I share some of our messiest first days, the years we started late (or not at all), and how God lovingly led me to lay down my hustle and invite Him into the planning. It’s not about perfect charts and tidy shelves—it’s about connection, flexibility, and faith.

We’ll chat about what it looks like to:

  • Let go of the pressure to do it all
  • Pray over your year and ask God for vision
  • Start simple, create rhythms, and make space for grace
  • Trust that God equips the called—even when we don’t feel ready

Whether you’re planning with a latte in hand or praying in between diaper changes, you are not behind—and you are not alone.

💛

👣 Quick Takeaways from Today’s Episode:
  • You don’t need a perfect start. Messy beginnings are still holy.
  • Pray first. Let God speak vision into your year.
  • Start small. Focus on 2–3 anchor subjects or rhythms.
  • Make it simple. Use what you have. The learning will come.
  • Reflect weekly. Adjust with grace and prayer.
  • You are called. Not because you're ready—but because He is faithful.

266: Part 10: Hope – Holding on to what God is doing—even when you can't see it yet. Through the Fire series01 Aug 202500:23:53

Sometimes hope feels like the hardest thing to hold onto—especially when the ending of your story looks nothing like what you pictured.

In this final episode of our Through the Fire series, I’m sharing how God taught me to hold on to hope—not because I had all the answers or could see the whole plan, but because He was still with me in the unknown.

If you’re standing in the ashes, wondering what’s next, this one’s for you.

Who are you when the title is gone? In this raw and reflective episode of Through the Fire, we explore what it means to rediscover your identity in Christ after the role, the dream, or the achievement you clung to has been stripped away. I’m sharing the personal journey of losing the title “Firefighter,” and the deeper work God did to remind me that my worth isn’t in what I do—but in who He says I am.

If you've ever felt lost in the in-between, this one’s for you. Let’s uncover what was always true: you are still chosen, still called, and still His.

264: Part 8: Rebuilding – Finding purpose again when your path gets shaken and How God used the fire to refine you into something stronger. Through the Fire Series04 Jul 202500:21:40

What happens when the dust settles after everything falls apart? In this deeply personal episode, I share how God used the fire—not to destroy me, but to refine me. I open up about the false identities I didn’t know I was still carrying… and how, in the aftermath of a dream that didn’t end how I hoped, God began to rebuild something deeper, stronger, and more honest.

If you’ve ever found yourself questioning your worth, wrestling with your identity, or wondering what purpose looks like after a hard detour—this episode will meet you right there. You are not starting over. You’re being rebuilt with grace, grit, and a God who never left.

263: Part 7: Faith in the Unknown- Choosing to trust God when the next step isn’t clear. Through the Fire Series20 Jun 202500:18:55

What happens after the disappointment—when the plan falls apart, and you’re left holding questions instead of answers?

In this heartfelt episode of Dreams, Dirt & Grace, we step into the vulnerable space that comes after the fire. The space where God feels quiet, the next step isn’t clear, and you’re wondering if you missed something—or if you’re just… stuck.

Kawailani shares what it looked like to trust God when there was no clear direction, no “next big thing,” and no plan to follow. Through raw stories, tender reflections, and a moment of unexpected wisdom from her 5-year-old, this episode reminds us:

Faith isn’t always a bold leap—it’s often found in the stillness. In the pause. In the surrender that says, “God, I don’t know where this is going… but I’m choosing You anyway.”

If you’re in a season of waiting, wrestling, or wondering what comes next—this one’s for you.

📓 Reflection for this week:

  • Where in my life do I feel uncertain or unclear about what’s next?
  • What would it look like to choose rest as a form of faith?
  • How can I trust God’s timing, even when I can’t see it unfolding yet?

262: Part 6: Peace – Finding God’s Presence in the Heartbreak. Through the Fire Series06 Jun 202500:15:30

When the ending isn’t what you prayed for and the heartbreak feels heavy, peace might be the last thing you expect… and yet, somehow, it’s what God offers in the middle of the wreckage.

In this tender episode of Through the Fire, I’m sharing what it looked like to find peace after being released from Fire Academy—just weeks before graduation. The kind of peace that doesn’t come because everything worked out… but because God was there, holding me in the heartbreak.

If you're walking through a season that feels uncertain, painful, or unfinished—this one’s for you. Because even when the story breaks, God’s presence stays.

📓 Reflection for this week:

  • What does peace feel like to you in this season?
  • Where have you seen glimpses of God’s presence, even in the pain?
  • What would it look like to ask for peace—not as an outcome, but as a daily gift?

261: Part 5: Expectation – When What You Hoped For Doesn’t Happen, and the Outcome Stings. Through the Fire Series23 May 202500:14:16

Through the Fire – Part 5 | Dreams, Dirt & Grace

What do you do when you obey God, pour your heart into the journey, and the ending still doesn’t look like what you hoped for?

In this episode, I’m sharing the heartbreak of being released from Fire Academy just weeks before graduation—and the peace God gave me in the middle of it. This is a real look at unmet expectations, holy redirection, and the truth that even when the dream changes, God’s faithfulness does not.

If you’re grieving an outcome you didn’t choose, this one’s for you.

260: Part 4: Provision – The Way God Showed Up and Sustained Me in Impossible Moments. Through the Fire Series09 May 202500:23:01

Sometimes God doesn’t remove the fire. Sometimes... He just holds you through it.

In this episode, I’m sharing how God provided in the middle of my hardest moments—not by making things easy, but by giving me just enough strength, just enough grace, and just enough peace to keep going.

Provision didn’t always look like I expected. It wasn’t flashy or instant. But it was exactly what I needed, right when I needed it.

If you're walking through a season that feels too heavy, too exhausting, or too uncertain—this episode will remind you that God is still showing up, even in the smallest ways.

You’re not forgotten. You’re being carried. Let’s talk about what real provision looks like in the fire.

259: Part 3: Discouragement – Facing the Voices of Doubt, Fear, and Exhaustion. Through the Fire series25 Apr 202500:16:15

Through the Fire – Part 3 | Dreams, Dirt & Grace

What do you do when you’re doing everything right—surrendering, obeying, showing up—and still feel like you’re falling apart?

In Part 3 of the Through the Fire series, I’m sharing one of the lowest points in my Fire Academy journey. The moment I failed in front of everyone. The moment the whispers got loud—“You’re not strong enough. You don’t belong here. You’re failing.”

This episode is a raw look at the heaviness of discouragement, the lies that creep in during the middle of the fire, and the truth that pulled me through. Because even when the outcome doesn’t look how we hoped, God is still present. Still refining. Still carrying us.

If you’re feeling tired, stuck, or like you’ve lost your way—this one is for you.

258: Part 2: Obedience – Saying Yes When You Don’t Know the End of the Story (“Through the Fire” series)11 Apr 202500:20:29
Part 2: Obedience – Saying Yes When You Don’t Know the End of the Story 

Saying yes to God sounds brave… until you’re walking it out in the middle of exhaustion, uncertainty, and doubt.

In Part 2 of Through the Fire, I’m sharing the real and raw moments of what obedience looked like for me—saying yes to Fire Academy without knowing the outcome, trusting God while juggling motherhood, training, and the constant feeling of “Am I doing the right thing?”

Obedience isn’t always pretty. It’s rarely easy. But it’s always worth it. Because when we say yes, God doesn’t promise clarity—He promises presence.

This episode is for the woman in the messy middle, the one who’s following God but starting to question the path. If that’s you, you’re not alone—and I pray this reminder gives you strength for your next step.

Welcome to a new Series...

Through the Fire: Trusting God When the Outcome Breaks Your Heart

 

This isn’t just a story about Fire Academy. It’s a series about what happens when you say yes to God—and then the story doesn’t go the way you thought it would. Through the Fire is a deeply personal journey of surrender, obedience, disappointment, and the kind of growth that only happens when you’re refined by the hard.

Whether you’re walking through uncertainty, facing your own unmet expectations, or just wondering what God is doing in the middle of your mess, this series is here to remind you: You’re not alone. He’s not done. And even when the outcome breaks your heart—God is still writing something beautiful.

You're Feel like you're Going to LET your Loved ones Down. Disappoint them. So, Now YOU need to be the Good Girl.

 

But You don't even recognize that person.

 

It's Hurting you because you become isolated.

You close doors, you don't ask for help. YOU CAN FIGURE THIS OUT on your Own.

 

Let's get rid of the Good Girl....
