Hey Friend!

Have you ever started working on your routines, habits, home, or even your phone use with all the right intentions, but then felt like you were failing because you couldn’t do everything perfectly? Maybe you have an idea of how you think your life should look, and when you can’t keep up with it, you end up wanting to give up completely.

If this is you then friend grab your coffee and Bible, and let’s dive in! In today’s episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to live intentionally without turning intentional living into another standard you have to perfectly keep up with. We’ll have some practical conversations about routines, habits, your home, phone use, planning, and making choices that actually fit your life and your current season.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of the difference between being intentional and trying to be perfect, and hopefully you’ll feel a little more freedom to make changes without feeling like you have to do everything at once.

Today you will learn:

-The difference between intentionality and perfectionism

-How routines and habits can help you without becoming another thing to obsess over

-How to make your home and phone use more intentional in realistic ways

-Why your plans and routines don’t have to look perfect to be helpful

-How to make changes without completely starting over every time something doesn’t go according to plan

-How to look at your current season of life when deciding what systems and habits actually make sense

-Why doing something imperfectly is often better than waiting until you can do it perfectly

If today’s episode spoke to your heart, share it with a friend who needs the reminder that she can live intentionally without having a perfect life!

Hey Friend!

Have you ever gotten so focused on your habits and goals that your life starts revolving around getting everything done? Maybe you have your morning routine, your workout routine, your Bible time, your cleaning schedule, your goals, and your to-do list all figured out, but somehow you forgot to leave room to actually live.

If this is you then friend grab your coffee and Bible, and let’s dive in! Today is the final episode in our habit-building series, and we’re talking about something that is just as important as building good habits: balance. Habits are meant to help support your life, not become your entire life. We’re going to talk about leaving room for relationships, rest, spontaneity, hobbies, fun, and the things you didn’t plan for.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a better understanding of why your routines need room to breathe and why a successful life isn’t just about how many habits you can keep up with or how much you can accomplish.

Today you will learn:

-Why having good habits doesn’t mean every moment of your day needs to be planned

-How habits and routines can become too much when accomplishments become the goal

-Why leaving white space in your schedule is important

-How to make room for relationships, rest, hobbies, fun, and unexpected moments

-Why your routines should serve your life instead of controlling it

-How to tell when you might need to simplify your routines

-Why you don’t have to accomplish something for your time to be valuable

-How to build a life that has structure while still leaving room to actually live it

As we close out this habit series, remember that the goal was never to become a person who does everything perfectly. The goal is to create rhythms that help you live more intentionally, make room for what matters, and still have the freedom to enjoy the life God has given you.

If today’s episode spoke to your heart, share it with a friend who needs a reminder that she doesn’t have to optimize every part of her life to live a meaningful one!

If this is you then friend grab your coffee and Bible, and let’s dive in! In today’s episode, we’re actually going to sit down and build a routine.

Hey Friend!

Have you ever had a bunch of habits you want to build but wondered how they’re all supposed to fit into your actual life?

If this is you then friend grab your coffee and Bible, and let’s dive in! In today’s episode, we’re talking about habit systems and how small habits can build on each other to create routines and rhythms that naturally fit into your life.

By the end of this episode, you’ll be able to look at your habits differently and start creating simple systems where your habits support each other instead of making your life feel more complicated.

Today you will learn:

-What a habit system is and how it is different from one individual habit

-How small habits can build on each other over time

-How to connect habits together to create simple routines

-Why your routines should fit your life instead of forcing your life to fit your routines

🏔️ Guided Prayer I Started With

Hey Friend!

Today I want to talk about something that has hit me very hard recently. You have to choose to be present. Not just choose to put your phone down but also choose to focus your full attention on someone or something. This isn’t something you can multitask with. Today we are diving into what it truly means to be present and why it's not something that happens by accident.

If this is you friend then you are in the right place. Grab your coffee and Bible, and let's dive in.

In today's heart-to-heart, we chat about:

-What does it mean to be present?

-Why being present is a choice

-Why should we choose to be present?

-What the bible says about being present

My prayer is that you leave this episode feeling encouraged and hopeful.
