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!

We’ve all set goals before—whether it was finally keeping up with the laundry rhythm, hitting a revenue number, or following through on a big idea—only to feel crushed when we didn’t meet them. It’s so easy to slip into an all-or-nothing mindset where the value of a goal is only measured by the final checkmark. But what if the real purpose of goal setting isn’t just about the outcome, but about simplifying and clarifying your journ...

Some seasons feel like they just won’t let up—whether it’s the circumstances you intentionally chose or things outside of your control that landed in your lap. In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I walk through those fuller-than-normal seasons with less overwhelm by focusing on what I can control, even when I can’t control the situation itself.

We’ll talk about the power of words in shaping your brain, how your language impacts str...

Every once in a while, life gives you a chance to step out of the everyday and into something that has the potential to become a core memory. Recently, I had the gift of creating one of those core memories with my 5-year-old daughter—a girls’ trip that turned into so much more than I expected. From hotel pools to splash pads to coffee shop stops, it was the sweetest reminder of what happens when we slow down and let rhythms make ro...

Grief can feel heavy, messy, and—if you haven’t walked through it yourself—confusing to navigate when someone you love is hurting. Over the past few years, our family has walked through a few seasons of deep loss, and one thing I’ve learned is how much it matters to have people who show up in tangible, thoughtful ways.

In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing what it’s looked like for our family to be on both sides of g...

What if launching something new in your business didn’t have to feel like stepping off a cliff—what if it could feel rooted, purposeful, and led by the Lord?

Today, I’m finally pulling back the curtain on a project I’ve been hinting at for a while—my very first retreat! I’m hosting it alongside my dear friend Jordan Jones, and in this episode we’re sharing all the details: who it’s for, why we’re so excited, and the behind-the-scen...

Hi, friend! This episode is a real and unfiltered look at the season I’m walking through. From grieving a sudden loss to battling imposter syndrome when my rhythms fell apart, I’m sharing what it’s looked like behind the scenes.

We’ll talk about the guilt of not having it all together, the pressure to be perfect, and the reminder that it’s because of our struggles—not in spite of them—that we can encourage and walk alongside others...

Ever feel like your days are so full, you're making decisions on the fly and running on fumes?

In this episode, I’m giving you a peek behind the curtain of my very full summer. VBS prep, hosting my sister’s bridal showerr, appointments, and trying to squeeze in work wherever I could. With so much going on, I didn’t have space to make thoughtful decisions every day.

What helped me stay grounded wasn’t doing more, it was pre-deciding...

Have you ever gone through a season where spending time with God felt harder than usual? Maybe your Bible sits unopened for days (or weeks), your prayers feel rushed, or you’re caught in a cycle of guilt and perfectionism that makes it even harder to get back into rhythm.

If so, friend, you are not alone.

In today’s episode, I’m opening up about a very real and current struggle in my own faith walk. I’m talking about what it looks ...

Have you ever noticed how some of the best conversations happen in the in-between moments—like a late-night drive home with a car full of tired (but still wide awake) kids? In this Memos in the Margins episode, Mat and I hit record on just that kind of moment to share a candid look into our 4th of July traditions, family rhythms, and the unexpected lessons we’ve learned about true hospitality.

Have you been looking at the calendar lately and thinking, how on earth is it July already?! You’ve been doing your best-keeping kids fed, the business running, laundry (mostly) caught up-but somewhere along the way, the slower pace you hoped for keeps getting drowned out by everything that still needs to get done.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the hidden cost of trying to do it all this season (and how multitasking is actually d...

Is it just me, or does summer always seem to fly by faster than it should? You start the season with all the best intentions—pool days, slow evenings on the porch, maybe even a spontaneous road trip—but before you know it, you're staring down August wondering where the time went. If you’ve ever felt that tension between wanting to be more present with your kids and still keeping up with the rest of life, you’re not alone.

In this Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing what a full weekend hosting a guest taught me about our current rhythms—and how it confirmed just how life-giving a little margin can be.
