It's my birthday today! This is a fun episode where I'm answering questions from YOU, so listen in.

I want to share three things for you to do the week after Christmas as a gift to yourself and maybe if you do these three things, you'll find that Christmas and New Years can be a little bit more enjoyable every year.

This year, we've been reading one chapter a month in the Nancy Ray Book Club since there are 12 chapters, one for each month of the year. Today, we'll dive into my biggest takeaways—the things that I want to be sure to embrace in my own home.

This year isn't over yet, and if we keep looking to the future and making plans and setting goals and dreaming about the next thing, we are going to miss the moments right in front of us. Today we are all going to take a pause and just remind ourselves to be present and enjoy the last days of this year to their fullest.

Today's episode is going to be short and sweet all about my favorite Thanksgiving tradition that any family can do, any couple can do, and it's the most wonderful practice of just opening your eyes to the beautiful, good life around you.

If you have been following me for a hot second, you know that I love to read. I really value reading. But here's what you might not know. I have not loved to read my whole entire life. Today is all about how I became a reader and how you can, too.

Parenting can be so overwhelming at times. Some days I feel like I'm doing it pretty good, and other days I feel like I have tried to do everything right and my kid's behavior is still wild and defiant and I kind of lose my mind on them. However, I am going to share my number one parenting tip that has been a real game changer for me and Will, and for our kids.

The older I get, the more I'm discovering that the most life-changing things are actually quite simple, and that's true for the three priorities exercise. Whether you are a CEO of a large company or a stay-at-home mom, this exercise will give you clarity at the beginning of your day and fulfillment at the end of your day. 

What I love most about these questions for us is really you can ask them in any season of life, they connect to you in a simple yet profound way on a weekly basis. I'm confident that they will help strengthen your close relationships, especially your marriage. 

My hope in being vulnerable here is that if you are an Enneagram Type Three, or if you have a type three in your life, maybe you'll find a new understanding about our type that will be helpful in some way or another.

How do you feel when I say the word "budget"? I know it can make some people feel handcuffed, and it can make some people feel kind of nerdy and excited. There are a lot of emotions tied to that word. To me, budget simply means one thing: accountability.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my top three takeaways from the book, The Year of Living Happy. A few things really stuck with me about being happier: God’s word, Generosity, and Friendships!

I want to really, truly feel and experience joy—the deep, deep kind of joy. All of the emotions and pains and joys. That is living fully awake.

Get ready, because I love a good morning routine. Fair warning: I am such a nerd about this. I know this sounds kind of extreme, but having a morning routine in place really enhances the quality of my life— I'm not kidding!

It can be helpful. It can provide income. It can be addictive. It can be a trap. Today, I want to talk about simple practices that I have found incredibly life-giving to keep social media in its place. 

Today we're going to talk about five ways for you to work through that feeling of overwhelm that honestly overtakes us every once in a while and leaves us feeling so helpless.

Life is hard, and sometimes it just seems we can't move forward in our lives until someone speaks some words of life to us. So that's what I'm here for today. If you're facing something really hard, I am here to tell you, you were made for hard things.

We keep buying more and more to make us happy, but does it really? Does it really foster a deep, centered posture of joy and contentment?

In this episode, I want to explain and encourage you in the work and play in your own life. Putting them in their places, so you can live from a place of abundance!
