The Go-To Podcast for Busy, Christian Moms Who Want to Get More Done and Still Be Present With Their Family! ***TOP 1% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST *** Are you constantly trying out new daily routines that have you juggling house chores and cramming in work during nap times? Do you feel guilty when your kiddos invite you to play, but by the time you’ve told them ’just a minute,’ ’hang on,’ or ’let me finish this’, the day has slipped away with no intentional focused time together at all? Does your brain feel like it will never just SHUT OFF with your continuously running to-do list? I’m SO excited you’re here!! This podcast will help you create simple systems, daily routines, and time management strategies to feel more productive in your days so you can balance running a home AND being fully present for your kiddos. Hey, I’m KyAnn. A mom, wife, and Jesus lover. For too many years, I let my habits just sort of happen without much intention or thought. I felt constantly behind and I was trying to do it all, but doing NONE of it well. I was chasing business success, achievements, and hustle culture that stole my time and mental health so I didn’t have any extra energy to devote to building intentional habits that kept my priorities in the RIGHT order. I finally realized that if I was going to balance motherhood and homemaking well, I had to find simple routines and systems to serve me in the season I was in. I created daily rhythms for our family that reflected my priorities and helped me tackle my to-do list, all while allowing me to be fully present with my kiddos - simple systems that when practiced well, even allowed extra time to work on my business during the cracks of time during the day. And now I’m ready to share it all with you! If you are ready to finally find a routine that works for you…steps to feel more balanced and less overwhelmed in your days as a busy mom…systems that give you your time back, help you to be more present with the people you love most, and finally get your brain to just RELAX-this podcast is for you! Pop in your single AirPod (mom friends, you know you do this, too!), grab your iced coffee, it’s time to find your rhythm!

There’s a lie almost every high-achieving mom believes at some point: “I’ll figure this out after this launch…after this season…after things slow down.” In this episode, we’re naming that cycle for what it really is—borrowing from future you to survive today. If you feel successful on paper but stretched thin in real life, this conversation will put language to the tension you’ve been carrying.
We’ll walk through three foundational truths that change everything. I’ll also invite you to consider one small “micro yes”—the support, rhythm, or boundary you keep canceling that your future self is quietly begging you to keep. This episode is for the mom who knows something needs to shift and doesn’t want her life to be held hostage by her business anymore. And it’s exactly why Rhythms That Scale exists—not to add more to your plate, but to help you finally live within your capacity as you grow.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!

I had a conversation recently with a highly successful business owner and mom of two who put words to something I hear all the time. She told me it feels like she’s constantly switching personas—one minute she’s deeply in client work, fully focused and solving problems, and the next she’s standing in the kitchen trying to cook dinner and connect with her kids…while her brain is still completely stuck in work mode.
She’s building the business she set out to build. She’s hitting big goals. And at the same time, she feels overstimulated, scattered, and frustrated because even though she’s physically with her kids, mentally she’s still answering messages, thinking about client problems, and running through the rest of her to-do list. That tension—between work mode and mom mode—is what we’re unpacking here, along with why it’s not a presence problem at all, but a transition problem, and what actually helps your brain move from one role to the next without burning you out.
I pray this episode encourages you!

If you feel like your to-do list never actually gets done—just rewritten day after day—this episode is for you. We’re unpacking why traditional to-do lists quietly drain your mental energy, how unfinished tasks create constant “open loops” in your brain, and why that low-grade stress makes it feel like you’re never caught up. You’ll learn why the issue isn’t productivity or discipline, but the way your tasks are being stored, prioritized, and surfaced to your brain in the first place.
In this episode, I introduce a shift from managing tasks to running an operating system—one that reflects how your brain works, supports long-term goals, and creates space for both business and life rhythms without overwhelming you. We’ll talk about how to organize work that matters now versus later, how to park ideas without losing them, and how to move out of reactive mode into a proactive, grounded way of operating. If you’re building toward big goals for 2026 and feeling the strain of holding everything in your head, this conversation will help you rethink how you manage your work, your energy, and your capacity—and why a simple to-do list may no longer be enough.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!

Have you ever packed away the Christmas decorations, swept up the last bit of glitter, and felt that quiet drop of “okay…now what?” In this episode, we’re talking about that familiar post-holiday feeling—when the coziness fades and life slips back into routines that don’t always feel life-giving. Especially if you’re someone who’s been living for the next launch, the next break, or the next milestone, that return to “normal” can feel discouraging. This conversation is about how to move into 2026 with intention instead of resignation, and how to make even the everyday feel more aligned and sustainable.
We’ll walk through how to identify the underlying friction points that make life feel overwhelming—whether that’s at home or in your business—and why lasting change doesn’t start with doing more, but with noticing what’s actually causing the tension. You’ll learn how your thoughts shape your feelings and actions, why vision is the true starting point for sustainable change, and how small mindset and rhythm shifts can create real margin in your daily life. If you’re craving a simpler, more grounded way to enter the new year—one that reflects your real priorities—this episode will help you take the first step.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!

In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, we’re talking about what not to repeat next Christmas and how small reflections now can create a lighter, more intentional holiday later. This episode focuses on noticing what felt heavy, what worked well, and how simple 1% shifts can meaningfully change the experience of the season—not by doing more, but by adjusting what already exists.
You’ll learn how to capture notes for your future self, make small preparations that ease next year’s load, and turn those “please never let me do this again” moments into clarity instead of frustration. It’s a practical, low-pressure way to reflect on capacity, name what you want more of, and set yourself up for a Christmas that actually supports your life.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!

The holiday season fills up fast, especially for high-achieving entrepreneur moms who are used to carrying a lot. In this episode, I talk about why the real issue isn’t time—it’s energy. Every invitation, responsibility, and “good thing” pulls from a limited reserve, and when we say yes to everything, we often end up drained, overextended, and unable to actually enjoy the season with our people. I share why every “yes” is also a “no,” how to recognize when your capacity is being stretched too thin, and why protecting your energy is essential in this season.
We also build on the holiday “To DON’T” list from the last episode and apply it specifically to your energy and capacity. I walk through how to say no to good things without guilt, set boundaries that actually stick, and release the pressure to make everything perfect. Saying no isn’t about missing out—it’s about creating space for rest, presence, and peace, so you can show up fully for what matters most and truly experience the season instead of just surviving it.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!

The holidays have a way of quietly piling on expectations — more traditions, more events, more spending, more pressure to make everything magical. In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a different approach: creating a Holiday To-Don’t List. Instead of asking yourself what else you can squeeze in, we’re talking about how to intentionally protect your capacity so you can actually enjoy this season. I’m sharing why this practice has become a non-negotiable for me as a mom and business owner, and how saying no to the right things has completely changed how December feels in our home.
We’ll walk through what a Holiday To-Don’t List really is, why trying to do it all leaves you drained and disconnected, and how social media often fuels expectations that don’t align with real life. I’m also sharing specific examples of what I’m choosing not to do this year and why each one creates more margin for what matters most. If you’ve ever ended the holidays exhausted, wondering where the joy went, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, simplify, and build a holiday rhythm that honors your values, your family, and your capacity.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!

Have you ever felt a pull to open your home more often — to create a place of connection, comfort, and belonging — but weren’t sure where to begin? In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with someone who has inspired me deeply over the years: Renee Higgins. Renee is a wife of eleven years, homeschool mama to five little ones (including toddler twins!), and a woman who embodies biblical hospitality in the most simple, faithful, and approachable way. She shares practical rhythms, gentle mindset shifts, and the small-but-powerful habits that make welcoming others into your home feel not just doable, but genuinely life-giving.
We also dig into the heart of hospitality — why it matters, how Scripture shapes the way we open our homes, and what it looks like to build a family culture rooted in generosity and presence rather than performance or perfection. Renee’s perspective is refreshing and deeply encouraging, reminding us that meaningful hospitality doesn’t require a spotless home or elaborate meals. It begins with a posture of openness, a willingness to serve, and an understanding that our homes can be a ministry in the everyday moments. If you’ve longed to make hospitality a more natural rhythm in your family’s life, this conversation will give you both the practical tools and the encouragement to start right where you are.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!

Have you ever noticed how your capacity grows most in the moments that stretch you — not sweep you under? In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing a recent high-ticket investment I made and how it reminded me that real growth often feels uncomfortable, but in a grounded, steady way. We’re talking about the balance between a healthy push and slipping into survival mode, and why that difference matters so much.
Inside the episode, I share how rhythms, planning, and knowing your capacity make these stretch moments easier. We talk about Parkinson’s Law, power-hour focus, and how small stretches expand what you can handle. I also share a reminder I hold onto — that my business is more successful now, homeschooling three kids and working far fewer hours than before motherhood. That didn’t come from hustling harder…it came from aligning my time with my priorities and stretching my capacity wisely.
If something in this episode spoke to you, tag me on Instagram or send me a DM — I’d love to hear what resonated most as I plan out 2026 content.
I pray this episode encourages you!

Have you ever wished you had more meaningful holiday traditions but felt unsure where to start — or worried you were already “behind”? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the heart of holiday rhythms and simple, everyday hospitality. I’m sharing a few of our own experiences from this season, from spontaneous moments with friends to Thanksgiving morning memories with family. What surprised me most this year is how often new traditions are born simply by trying something once…and realizing it’s exactly the kind of legacy you want your family to grow up with.
We’ll talk about how rhythms create the mental capacity to say yes to new traditions, how to remove the barriers that make hospitality feel intimidating, and why inviting others in doesn’t have to be fancy, elaborate, or perfectly planned. In fact, the holidays are one of the easiest times to practice everyday hospitality — the kind that feels warm, simple, and achievable in any home. If you’ve ever wanted to start your own traditions, open your doors a little wider, or create a season that feels more connected and less chaotic, this episode will give you the encouragement (and the permission) to begin right where you are.
I pray this episode encourages you!
Hugs!
