Happy 2026 and welcome to Season 2 of the Discovering Home Podcast.

In this season premiere, I’m sharing a personal reflection on what it looks like to choose a word for the year, anchor your life in Scripture, and embrace a slower rhythm as a Christian mom.

After a full and fruitful 2025—launching this podcast, building my coaching practice, and balancing homeschooling and family life—I found myself exhausted. In this episode, I share the behind-the-scenes journey of how Discovering Home began, what God taught me through seasons of building and striving, and why this year I’m choosing acceptance instead of pressure.

We’ll talk about:

  • Choosing a guiding Scripture for the year (Philippians 2:13)
  • Trusting God to work in you and through you
  • Releasing hustle and embracing a slower, home-centered life
  • Aligning your faith, motherhood, and purpose
  • Letting go of perfection and resting in God’s timing

If you’re a Christian working mom discerning a transition home, a stay-at-home mom seeking renewed clarity, or simply longing to live at a gentler pace rooted in faith and family, this episode will encourage you.

This season, we’re exploring what it means to steward your calling, honor how God designed you, and build a life that reflects peace instead of pressure.

You don’t have to rush. You don’t have to prove anything. God is already at work in you.

Be sure to follow the show so you don’t miss next week’s episode, where I’ll share a powerful discovery about sensitivity, overstimulation, and how God uniquely designs some moms for a slower, more intentional rhythm.
