About this listen

Becoming a mother changes everything—including how we view work, career, and purpose.


After this shift, many of us crave more freedom, flexibility, and family time, but we also want to make an impact and contribute financially.


On Little Hands, Big Plans, we explore the many ways moms are building a life that works for both their family, faith and their dreams—without getting stuck in hustle culture.


You’ll hear:
✔️ Stories from moms who’ve shifted careers, paused, pivoted, or started businesses
✔️ Actionable tips on creating time and financial freedom
✔️ Conversations about letting go of guilt, overcoming fear, and taking the leap
✔️ Encouragement to build a life beyond the 9-5, if it’s not working for your family


If you’re ready to embrace motherhood while still dreaming big, join me every week for honest conversations and real-life strategies.

  • Hospital Physician to Direct Primary Care and Homeschool Mom
    Jun 18 2025

    Dr. Lyndsi Davenport—a physician, homeschooling mom, and woman of deep faith—whose story is a powerful reminder that motherhood isn’t the end of ambition, it’s the beginning of something deeper.

    • Balancing early motherhood with demanding physician schedules
    • Finding faith during career transitions and family building
