Someone in your life is silently struggling. Here’s what to do.

What do you do when someone you love is clearly struggling, but you don't know how to help (and you're secretly worried about making it worse)? Most of us aren't ignoring hurting people because we don't care. We're just completely overwhelmed. We don't want to say the wrong thing. We don't feel qualified. And honestly, we assume this is what pastors and professional counselors are for. Except they can't keep up. People are hurting at a scale we've never seen before. Anxiety, depression,...

We're in the home stretch before Christmas. Are you feeling completely overwhelmed and frazzled yet? Christmas has a funny way of bringing out the best intentions… and the shortest fuses. You want to soak it all in. Make memories. Be present. Be patient. But suddenly your calendar is full. There’s your husband’s company Christmas party to get ready for, extra cooking and baking for get-togethers with friends and family, kids who are bouncing off the walls with excitement, and a baby who has...

Why is making friends as an adult so awkward? You know what I'm talking about... Have you ever walked into a women’s event or Bible study, spotted an open seat… and immediately worried, “Will they think I’m weird if I sit there?” Or maybe you finally worked up the courage to text another mom to hang out… and then reread the message ten times before sending it. (And she didn’t respond right away? Instant spiral.) Or maybe you’ve reached out before, tried to be friendly, tried to make plans…...

I have an exciting announcement! The Equipping Godly Women podcast is officially BACK! And honestly? It just feels good to say that out loud. I’ve missed having a place where we can have REAL conversations about the hard, messy, oh-good-grief-what-now parts of life that every Christian mom deals with… but nobody wants to admit out loud. Each week, we’ll be diving into thought-provoking, perspective-shifting conversations that'll make you think, “Oh wow… I’ve never heard it explained like that...

Confession time: I hate shopping. 🙃 As in… I would genuinely rather wear my teenage son's hand-me-down clothes with holes in them than spend a single afternoon trying to find something new I actually like. And Christmas shopping? Even worse. Especially when you’re buying for someone else and thinking, “Will they even like this??” I do not have hours to scroll Amazon hoping the perfect gift magically appears. (My sisters-in-law literally send me Amazon links for their kids—which is AMAZING....

The last couple of years have been... crazy. Two of my immediate family members experienced sudden, unexplained physical conditions that left that temporarily practically bedridden. Around the same time, I got pregnant with our 4th baby (unexpectedly) and was so sick I couldn't even walk. Fun times. So this past Spring, I decided to get a "real" job to help pay off all these fun new (and expensive) medical bills we suddenly accumulated. I got an amazing job I was REALLY excited about. I...

Back-to-school season always feels like a whirlwind, doesn’t it? ✏️ Whether your children are heading off to the classroom each morning or you’re teaching them right at your kitchen table, one thing’s the same: You want your kids to succeed without adding more stress to your already full plate. If that's you, I have something that will help: Reading Eggs’ new Homeschool Max program. It’s designed for homeschool families, but honestly, it’s a total win for any busy mom who wants to give her...

As a new school year begins, we’re busy gathering supplies, packing backpacks, and preparing our children for the days ahead. But in all the hustle, it’s easy to forget that the most important thing we can equip our kids with isn’t found on a supply list — it’s God’s Word hidden in their hearts. Scripture memory gives our kids something far more valuable than pencils and notebooks: A foundation of truth in a world filled with confusing messages Comfort and strength when they face challenges...

Whether your kids are homeschooled, headed back to a traditional classroom, or somewhere in between, one thing’s for sure: You want your kids to succeed. So when today's email sponsor, Reading Eggs, reached out and asked if I’d help spread the word about their brand-new homeschool platform, I was excited to share it with you! Homeschool Max is Reading Eggs’ all-in-one homeschool platform designed to give parents everything they need to confidently teach reading, language arts, and math at...

With children all over the country headed back to school this month, now is the perfect time to take a pause and say a prayer for the teachers, students, and everyone headed back to the classroom this year. Not sure what to pray? Here's a prayer to get you started... p.s. You can pray this prayer whether you have children at home or not! Dear God, Thank You so much that we live in a country where our children can receive an education and pursue endless opportunities. As this school year...
