Welcome back to Work and Play. Before we dive in, I want to give you a quick heads up that this is a replay episode, and it’s one of my favorites. We’re talking all about the summer plan. Honestly, this is worth a second listen. Whether you heard it the first time around or you’re new here, I think you’re going to love it!

If you are a reader or you have been wanting to read more this summer, today’s episode is for you. I’m sharing five books either that I’m currently loving or that I have already read and would highly recommend. Perfect for your summer reading list.

I am so excited to share this conversation that I had with Amy Wicks. She is a certified faith-based enneagram coach, speaker, author, and the founder of Simply Wholehearted. She helps women, mamas, and entrepreneurs use the enneagram, but she combines it with a faith-based perspective. She encourages you to make wholehearted rhythms to overcome burnout, reduce overwhelm and live according to your design. She also created the Wholehearted Summer Workshop, which is what we’re talking about today: how to plan a summer where you and your family can thrive. I hope you love the conversation as much as I did.

We have made it to the end of May is for Mamas, and today is our last Friday minisode. It is full of prayers for mamas with littles. 

My friend, Val Marie, is such a gift. She's the founder of Val Marie Paper, she's an author and she designed the lovely yearly prayer journal which I have used time and time again. Val has given me so much perspective on prayer and has been such an encouragement to my walk with the Lord. And today we're talking about what prayer can actually look like in our lives and how to make 2024 a year of prayer, for you, for real.
