96 | Memos in the Margins: Real Time Capacity Check

Have you ever said yes to something with the best intentions—only to realize later that your capacity just wasn’t there anymore? In this honest Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing a real-time behind-the-scenes moment where I had to make a decision to step back from something I had planned for. Between business and motherhood, my week filled up fast, and even though I technically had time, I didn’t have the mental or emotional margin to do it well.
If you’re a mom or business owner learning how to manage your time, balance your priorities, or simply live more intentionally, this episode is a reminder that honoring your capacity isn’t quitting—it’s choosing sustainability. I walk you through what it looked like to step back from something I paid for and was genuinely looking forward to, and why that pivot mattered for my long-term growth. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin or unsure when to pivot, this episode will give you a look at what it can look like in real life to pause, reassess, and protect your energy for what matters most.
I pray this episode encourages you!

95 | Simplifying Budgeting as a Young Family: Paid Off Mortgage & 2 Airbnb’s by Age 25 w/ Patience Axmann

Do you wish you could be more intentional with your money—but don’t know where to start as a busy mom and business owner? This episode is extra special because I’m joined by one of my real-life friends, Patience Axmann, for a conversation around one of the most requested topics: budgeting. And let me tell you, if there’s anyone who inspires me in this area, it’s Patience and her husband Nathan. From running multiple businesses with little ones underfoot to paying off their home by the age of 23 and buying two Airbnbs by 25—their story is incredible.
In this episode, Patience breaks down budgeting in a way that actually works for busy moms and business owners. She shares how she and her husband keep it simple with weekly money check-ins (aka financial date nights) while running multiple businesses and raising three little ones. We dive into paying off debt, building wealth as a young family, and learning to steward your finances with purpose—no matter where you're starting from. If you’ve ever felt behind financially or unsure how to move forward, Patience’s story will show you what’s possible when you combine creativity, stewardship and purpose.
 
I pray this episode encourages and inspires you!
 
Hugs!

94 | Memos in the Margins: Are YOU Wearing This Badge?

Do you ever feel weirdly proud of being the one who “does it all”? Or maybe a little guilty when you finally slow down? In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, we’re talking about the badge of busyness—what it looks like when hustle becomes your default, and how that might be keeping you stuck in a cycle of chronic overwhelm. I’m opening up about the moments I’ve fallen into this trap myself, what I’ve noticed in clients, and why it can be so hard to break free even when we know it’s not sustainable.
Together, we’ll look at the deeper reasons behind constant busyness and how our brains can actually crave chaos because it feels familiar. But here’s the good news: God offers us a gentler way. We’ll explore what it means to move at His pace, build humble rhythms into our days, and finally let go of the pressure to prove our worth through productivity. If you’re juggling motherhood, business, and burnout, this conversation is for you.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!

93 | Why Time Management Isn’t Working for You (and What To Do Instead)

Have you ever felt like if you just had a little more time, everything would finally fall into place? For so long, I thought the problem was that I just needed more time. But what I really needed? Rhythms.
 
In this episode, I’m sharing a raw, behind-the-scenes story from one of the most chaotic moments in my own motherhood and business journey—and the shift that changed everything for me. We’ll talk about what it really takes to move from survival mode to sustainable rhythms, so you can experience more peace, purpose and presence in your everyday life. If you’ve ever felt like peace is out of reach and productivity means sacrificing presence, I am praying that this conversation will open your eyes to a different way forward.
 
Hugs!

92 | Memos in the Margins: Productivity Pit Stops

In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, we’re talking about “productivity pit stops” and how to build them into your life. I’m sharing my experience with all-or-nothing productivity, rest cycles and how this has been sneaking into my life in a new way recently. 
I’ll walk you through what I’m currently doing to change this mentality and the rest systems that have helped me steward work and rest well. If you’re tired of feeling like you have to “earn” rest, I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!

91 | When Slowing Down Feels Impossible: Coping Skills for the High-Functioning, Exhausted Mom with Carly Kirk

If you're constantly “on” and wondering why slowing down feels so hard, you are going to love this conversation. I’m joined by Carly Kirk, a licensed therapist, mom of (almost) three and co-owner of The Well Counseling Center in Katy, TX. Carly is passionate about helping others find hope and healing and she’s here to talk about something so many moms wrestle with: the inability to truly rest, even when things seem to be running smoothly on the outside.
In this episode, Carly is helping us unpack why high-functioning moms often find it hardest to slow down and what’s really going on under the surface when our minds just won’t stop spinning. She is sharing how to identify the early signs of overwhelm and how to build simple, healthy coping skills that make room for rest and presence. If slowing down feels harder than staying busy, I pray this conversation encourages you!
Hugs!

90 | Memos in the Margins: Hustle, Burnout, Repeat

Have you ever felt like pushing through and just hustling harder is the only way to actually accomplish everything you have on your plate?!
In this episode, I’m diving into the burnout cycle I used to live in—the one where I’d go all in, burn out, retreat, and start all over again…again and again and again. I’m sharing how I’ve recently realized where this pattern kept showing up in both my business and motherhood, and we’re chatting all about what I did to finally get out of that continuous loop I was stuck in. What it looks like to build a life you can actually sustain, especially when the “Pinterest-perfect” plans inevitably fall apart. And I’m inviting you into the kind of rhythms that don’t just work on your best days—but the hard ones, too.
If you’re tired of feeling behind and ready to find a new way forward, this episode is for you.
Hugs!
I pray this episode encourages you!

Are you juggling motherhood, business and home life ending the day overwhelmed and feeling like you got nothing done? In today’s episode, I’m bringing on one of my incredible students, Jill Garza—a fellow mom and entrepreneur who went from reactive and exhausted to calm, proactive and present in her days.
Jill shares how she and her husband went from spending nearly $2,000 a month on takeout just to survive to saving over $1,500 a month with simple systems that actually work. We dive into the rhythms that helped her finally get on top of laundry, create margin in her days and free up the mental space to be both the present mom and business owner she’s called to be. If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, feeling guilty and unsure of where to start, this conversation will give you so much hope. You’ll get a real, behind-the-scenes look at how the Simple Rhythms for Busy Moms group coaching program actually works in real time and hear what practically changed for Jill—and how it can for you too!
I pray this episode encourages you!

88 | 3 Must-Have Rhythms for Entrepreneur Moms Who Know What to Do (But Can’t Seem to Do It)

Ever feel like no matter how much you get done, it’s never enough? Like you’re checking off boxes all day long but still ending the day exhausted and behind? As moms balancing business, home, and everything in between, it’s so easy to believe the lie that we should always be doing more. And when we can't keep up, we start to question if something is wrong with us.
In this episode, we’re CELEBRATING the podcast officially being in the world for ONE WHOLE YEAR (can you even believe that?!) and I’m sharing 2 huge announcements so stay tuned for all the details! 
I’m also diving into 3 must-have rhythms every entrepreneur mom needs—especially if you know what to do but just can’t seem to follow through. We’ll talk about why time management may not actually be your root problem, how your rhythms can actually support your energy and focus, and the small shifts that make a big difference when you're juggling business and motherhood. If you’re ready to move from spinning your wheels to steady momentum, this episode will feel like the permission slip and practical support you’ve been craving.
Hugs!
