What is Advent anyway—and why does it matter for us as busy Christian moms?

In this solo episode, we slow down and walk through the true meaning of Advent, the four weeks leading up to Christmas that focus on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. Instead of rushing through the season, this episode invites you to study Scripture, reflect deeply, and grow spiritually together.

This is not a passive listen — you’ll definitely want your Bible, paper, and pen ready as we dig into God’s Word and allow Him to speak into our hearts during the Christmas season.

Whether Advent is brand new to you or something you’ve heard about but never truly studied, this episode is a gentle, grounding way to refocus your heart on Jesus.

Let’s prepare our hearts for Christmas — not with pressure or perfection, but with purpose, Scripture, and the presence of Jesus.

If you’ve been walking around feeling “less than,” this episode is for you. Maybe you’ve been comparing yourself to other moms, feeling invisible in your own home, or believing lies about your worth. But friend… God has already spoken the truth about who you are.

In this episode, we’re breaking down 3 powerful, biblical ways to know your worth — even on the days you feel small, unseen, or not enough. You’ll learn how your value comes from the God who created you on purpose, the Savior who died for you, and the Father who bought you at a high price and wants to be close to you.

We dive into Scripture to anchor your identity in truth: Colossians 1:16, John 1:12–13, John 3:16, Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 6:20 + 7:23, Revelation 3:20

If you need a reminder that you are chosen, loved, intentional, and deeply wanted — grab your Bible (and maybe that reheated coffee) and let’s grow together.

Today I had the honor of talking with Dr. Gary Chapman — yes, the author of The 5 Love Languages — and this conversation is such a gift.

We dig into why love can feel so complicated, how we so often miss each other in marriage and parenting, and how simple shifts can transform the emotional climate of your home. Dr. Chapman gives encouragement straight from his heart (and decades of counseling!), and he brings practical wisdom that any mom—overwhelmed, stretched thin, or longing for connection—can put into practice today.

We talk about:

• Why the love languages matter for your marriage and your kids

• How to love someone who “doesn’t receive love like you do”

• What to do when your spouse struggles to give verbal affirmation

• How faith shapes the way we give and receive love

• Encouragement for moms who feel unseen or unappreciated

This episode is packed, it’s powerful, and it’s full of the gentle kind of wisdom that reminds you: you’re not failing. You’re learning how to love well — and God is with you in it.

Grab your coffee, girl. This one is SO good.
