Christmas traditions can be magical… but they can also feel overwhelming when life is busy and expectations are high.

| How My 2025 Bingo Card Really Went | 22 Dec 2025 | 00:20:15 | |
Every year between Boxing Day and New Year’s, I take a quiet afternoon to look back on the year behind me and gently look ahead to what’s next. For years, I did this by setting goals across a few simple categories — faith, family, health, friendships, and personal growth. Nothing fancy or overwhelming… just intentional rhythms for the season of motherhood I was in. Last year, I decided to try something new. Instead of a traditional goal list, I created a 2025 Bingo Card — 25 simple, meaningful things I hoped to do, experience, or grow in throughout the year. Some were practical, some were fun, some were deeply personal… and one square mattered more than all the others. In this episode, I’m walking you through my bingo card in real time — sharing what I accomplished, what surprised me (hello, starting a podcast), what didn’t happen, and what I’m carrying forward into the next year. We’ll talk about: If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by goal-setting or like New Year’s resolutions just aren’t for you anymore, this episode is a gentle reminder that growth can be slow, imperfect, and still incredibly meaningful. I’ll be taking a short break while the kids are home for the holidays, and I’ll be back in January with some really fun and practical episodes to kick off the new year. Thanks for being here — and for walking this season with me. Links Mentioned in the show KBfit - | |||

| Snow Days, Small Groups & Surviving Motherhood | 02 Mar 2026 | 00:51:44 | |
In this episode, I’m sitting down with one of my bestest friends, Crystal — a woman I met 13 years ago when we were both stay-at-home moms with little kids. With the “2016 trend” floating around social media, we started looking back at those early motherhood years — snow days, fancy hot chocolates, beach trips, small groups, and doing life side by side. And we realized something important: It wasn’t easier back then. We talk honestly about: This conversation is for the mom in the trenches, the mom stepping into a new season, and the mom who sometimes wonders if the “good old days” are behind her.

| When Mom Rage Shows Up | 09 Mar 2026 | 00:13:13 | |
Last week on the podcast, my friend Crystal and I talked about something many moms experience but few talk about openly — mom anger. And then… I had a moment. After a full week of March break fun, exhaustion, noise, and overstimulation finally caught up with me. As we were packing up to leave our cottage, something inside of me snapped and I completely lost my temper with my family. The drive home was quiet — and my mind was loud with shame, guilt, and the feeling that maybe I had no right encouraging other moms when I still struggle too. But the Lord reminded me of something powerful I had done months earlier — burning a picture my kids once coloured of me as an angry, chained-up minion. That picture represented a lie about my identity. Yes, I have moments of anger. In this episode I’m sharing the full story — the moment at the cottage, the shame spiral that followed, and why repentance, humility, and grace matter so much in motherhood. If you've ever felt like your worst parenting moment defines you, this conversation is for you. You are not alone. | |||
| Staying Connected in Marriage While Raising Kids | 16 Mar 2026 | 00:16:52 | |
Last week’s episode about mom rage sparked so many honest messages from moms who felt seen and encouraged — thank you to everyone who reached out and shared your stories. If you haven’t listened yet, I would encourage you to go back and give it a listen. This week we’re shifting the conversation to something that often gets overlooked in busy family life: our marriages. When you’re raising kids, managing schedules, and juggling all the responsibilities of family life, it’s easy for your relationship to slip into the background. But strong families are built on strong marriages. In this episode I’m sharing how Micah and I stay connected through different seasons of life — from when our kids were little and bedtime meant couch conversations, to now with older kids and busy schedules where sometimes connection looks like a Costco run together. I also talk about the Alpha Marriage Course, why investing in your marriage matters, the importance of having friends who pray for your relationship, and four simple habits that help marriages stay strong. Whether you’re newly married, raising little ones, or navigating the teenage years, this episode is a reminder that your marriage is worth protecting, investing in, and fighting for. 4 things to do for your marriage this week 1. Have fun together (laugh) 2. Look in each others eyes 3. Pray together 4. Physical Touch. | |||

| The Summer That Changed My Life | Why I Still Believe in Camp Ministry | 26 May 2026 | 00:13:46 | |
This week I’m sharing why summer camp has always held such a special place in my heart ❤️ As a little girl, church camp was the highlight of my summer — swimming, crafts, chapel, camp songs, muddy obstacle courses, cabin laughs, and friendships I looked forward to all year long. What I didn’t realize then was that while I was busy having fun seeds of faith were being planted in my heart. Years later, after drifting far from those childhood lessons, God used camp ministry to completely change the direction of my life. And now, getting to come back years later and volunteer at Caton’s Island has felt so full circle for me. In this episode I’m sharing: You truly never know what seeds are being planted in a child’s life ❤️ If camp ministry has ever touched your life in some way, I would LOVE to hear your story.
