| Homemaker Portrait | Naomi Fata | 15 Nov 2023 | 01:21:04 | |
In today’s episode I am talking with In-the-Trenches homemaker, Naomi Fata. She’s been married 16 years and has 3 kids, ages 8 to 13. She homeschools and runs a sewing and alterations business out of her home--she is a very busy lady. We discuss how she has learned/is learning to balance homemaking, schooling and a home business through compromise, firm boundaries and letting go of some expectations. Naomi is passionate about teaching others how sewing can help them make the most of their clothing and home decor resources. Over the years, Naomi realized that this "stay-at-home dream life" she asked God for does not come with ease. It is challenging to manage it all, but she is learning to differentiate between what God has and has not called her to do in each new day. Whether running a home business or not, this principle applies to all of us as homemakers as we seek to thrive in our calling and not be distracted or overwhelmed by all the possibilities before us. I know you will be encouraged and learn something from Naomi's story of home.

| Homemaker Portrait | Breanna Wakefield | 08 Nov 2023 | 01:36:38 | |
In this episode, I had the privilege of interviewing Breanna Wakefield, a full-time homemaker and mother of two. Breanna opened up about the strong influence her mom and grandmothers had on her homemaking journey, highlighting the importance of understanding the why and how behind our daily tasks. We delved into the challenges she faced during her pregnancies, including complications related to endometriosis and her battle with postpartum depression. As someone who has personally experienced postpartum depression, I found our conversation incredibly relatable and encouraging. Breanna also generously shared her tips, tricks, and ideas for successful homemaking, leaving me inspired and eager to implement them in my own life. Trust me, you don't want to miss this valuable and heartfelt conversation. HOLIDAY HOMEMAKING RESOURCES

Join me for this In-the-Trenches Homemaker Portrait of author, blogger and full-time homemaking mama, Kristen Howard. We talk about how growing up on a South Dakota cattle ranch shaped her idea of home and family and how God is working to grow Kristen's own home and family that she is making with her husband and 2 (almost 3) kids. Kristen is passionate about slowing down and enjoying the every day gifts of home. That theme is what much of her writing centers around and it comes through clearly in this fun conversation.

I am diving into the first pillar of homemaking, Identity, with my good friend, author, speaker and podcaster, Susan Macias. This deep dive is the first in a series on Four Pillars of Homemaking: Identity, Values & Priorities, Rhythms & Routines, and Community. We are going to contrast what God has to say about identity with what the world has to say about where to find your identity. Then we will look at some common identity thieves—things homemakers may be tempted to look to for identity and how to avoid falling into those traps.

| Homemaker Portrait | Kelly Gundersen | 22 Feb 2023 | 00:59:19 | |
In today’s show, I am chatting with in-the-trenches homemaker, Kelly Gundersen. Our in the trenches category includes homemakers who have been practicing more than 5 but less than 25 years. They are past the newlywed stage and are working through how to prioritize marriage amidst a houseful of kids, schooling, activities, their husband’s career, and more. Life is busy and demands their constant attention in this stage. Kelly is no exception, but her approach to this busy season is refreshing. Here’s a hint, it requires boundaries based on her family’s values and intentionality to thrive within those boundaries.

| Homemaker Portrait | Debbie Ledoux | 15 Feb 2023 | 01:14:18 | |
Debbie had a vision for what her adult life would look like and it absolutely did NOT involve kids or full time homemaking. Join us as we talk about how God challenged Debbie's fantasy life, gave her a desire for children and eventually called her out of her career in law to come home full time.

| Homemaking Deep Dive | Marital Intimacy | 08 Feb 2023 | 01:35:12 | |
In today’s episode, we are doing a Deep Dive into the topic of Marital Intimacy. I’m joined by my two friends, Sandi Goforth and Gwen Cunningham, who were both featured on the podcast as subjects of homemaker portraits. Sandi has been married to Walt for over 45 years and Gwen has been married to Paul for 36 years. These women have a wealth of experience and knowledge to share about homemaking and marriage in general, but as you will hear in our conversation they have a heart for educating women about the importance of physical intimacy for a marriage that is vibrant and thriving in all stages of life.

| Homemaker Portrait | Dani Hamilton | 16 Nov 2022 | 01:32:27 | |
On today’s episode I am chatting with my friend, Dani Hamilton. She is an in-the-trenches homemaking mama of 3 little boys and wife to husband, Luke who is a professional firefighter. Dani is an amazing artist, one of the most creative people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. We bonded over our mutual love of art, sewing and all things crafty. So the subject of creativity and art comes up quite a lot in this full and fun conversation. Once again, I am blown away by the wisdom and insight of this younger generation of women!
