Caroline explores the profound importance of women in the home - not as a limitation, but as sacred, skilled work that has been central to human survival for thousands of years.

From ancestral communities where women were decision-makers and knowledge-keepers, to the Industrial Revolution and convenience culture, Caroline traces how we've lost something essential: the understanding that tending a home, creating family rhythms, and passing down knowledge matters.

She shares her journey from entrepreneurship and burnout to discovering that being laid off was a gift - allowing her to reclaim the home, investigate food storage, learn about herbs, and rebuild the rhythms that hold her family together.

Caroline discusses the science behind cognitive labour, the research on family meals, and what different faith traditions teach about the home as sacred space.

Topics include ancestral wisdom, Victorian homemaking, cross-faith perspectives on the home (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Indigenous traditions), the mental load women carry, family meal benefits, and practical daily rhythms.

This is an invitation to remember what your ancestors knew: the work of tending a home is powerful, valued, and worth your time.

Start with one meal at the table, make your bed, cook from scratch, and reclaim one ancestral practice. You don't have to do it all perfectly - one small choice shifts everything.

What if the disconnection you feel—from your health, your peace, even from God—isn't random?

What if it's because we've stepped away from the rhythms He designed for us?

In this episode of A Quiet Hallelujah, I take you back to the Alberta farm where I first understood what it meant to participate in creation. I share our family's journey from veganism to carnivore eating, how our health transformed when we returned to real food, and why this shift brought us closer to God in ways I never expected.

We explore what the Bible actually says about our relationship with food and creation—from Genesis 1:28 (our call to steward the earth) to Genesis 9:3 (God's permission to eat meat) to Matthew 22:39 (loving our neighbour through shared abundance). Spoiler: we're not called back to Eden. We're called to shepherd the earth with gratitude and intention.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The vegan-to-carnivore journey and how ancestral eating healed our family (including my youngest's transformation)• The hidden history of our food system: how seed oils (originally industrial byproducts) were marketed as "healthy"

• Why returning to traditional foods is a spiritual practice, not just a health trend

• What scripture says about taking life, honouring animals, and eating with gratitude• Practical ways to reconnect with creation rhythms—even on a quarter-acre rental

This isn't about perfection. It's about direction. One small step back toward the rhythm God designed is a step back toward Him.

Whether you're already on an ancestral living journey or you're just curious about the connection between real food and real faith, this episode will challenge how you think about your kitchen, your health, and your relationship with creation.

Do I have to go to church to know God? If you've been asking yourself this question—maybe with guilt, maybe with relief—this episode is for you.

In this episode of A Quiet Hallelujah, I share my personal story of closed church doors, restless searching, and the profound freedom of discovering that God isn't confined to Sunday services or four walls. I found Him in nature, in family rhythms, in my kitchen and garden, and in the quiet everyday moments that traditional church culture often overlooks.

If you're an overwhelmed woman who feels guilty for not attending church, or if you've been church-hurt but still love God, I want to give you permission: You don't have to go to church to have a real, authentic relationship with Him.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why God's Spirit isn't limited to church buildings (and what scripture actually says about this)

• How I found deeper faith in nature, daily routines, and simple living than I ever did in a pew

• Practical ways to connect with God in your kitchen, your garden, your morning coffee, and your everyday life

• How to let go of church guilt and embrace faith on your own terms

This is for Christian women seeking faith without religion, spiritual connection without Sunday obligations, and a return to the simplicity of knowing God in creation and everyday moments.

You don't need permission to leave church—but if you're looking for it, consider this your sign.
