  • Untitled EpisoWinter Blues, Dry Hands & Joan of Arc: Catching Up + Finding Peace This Seasonde
    Dec 28 2025

    It’s been a minute… and yeah, we’re sorry 😅 Life got busy, schedules got crazy, and the seasons have been doing what seasons do. In this episode, we’re catching up on what’s been going on—homeschool rhythms, work life, winter “blues,” and the strangely real struggle of dry hands and scented lotion that burns.

    Then we take an unexpected (and honestly emotional) turn into history: Joan of Arc—what we thought we knew, what we didn’t know, and why her story hit us so hard as adults.

    We also talk about:

    • The mental shift of winter and learning to find peace in the quiet
    • Loving routines, cozy hobbies, and staying home without guilt
    • Friendship as we grow older (seasonal friends vs. holding on tight)
    • The quiet grief and healing that comes after leaving church ministry
    • Why we want to share our story thoughtfully—truthfully, respectfully, and in a way that honors the Lord
