As the calendar turns and a new year begins, many of us feel the weight of fresh starts, spiritual goals, and the pressure to “get it right.” But what if January wasn’t about becoming a better version of yourself — and instead about remembering who God made you to be?

In this episode of Miracles in the Madness, host Ashton invites you into a grace-filled conversation about faith in the in-between season — after Christmas and before the new year takes full shape. Together, we reflect on the past year without judgment, release the pressure of spiritual perfection, and rest in the truth that God does not change just because the calendar does.

Ashton shares her personal journey with choosing a word of the year instead of resolutions, how vision boards became a tool for spiritual awareness rather than performance, and why “New Year, Same God” has become an anchor truth for walking faithfully through motherhood, exhaustion, uncertainty, and growth.

This episode is for the woman who:

• Feels hopeful and hesitant about the new year
• Is tired of hustle faith and spiritual comparison
• Wants to grow closer to God without another list to check off
• Needs permission to stop surviving and start persevering

Every day can be a fresh start, not because you’re trying harder — but because God’s mercy is new every morning.

Christmas isn’t always joyful—but sometimes, it’s exactly where God meets us in the most unforgettable ways.

In this episode of Miracles in the Madness, I share a few Christmas miracles that I believe God worked in my life—moments where fear, uncertainty, and lack were met with His protection and provision.

I tell a couple stories of Christmases past, when Christmas felt a little scarier than normal. In my opinion, they were modern day miracles in my own life.

This episode is a reminder that miracles don’t always look dramatic or loud. Sometimes they look like protection, provision, community, and “just enough” at exactly the right time.

If you’ve ever looked back and realized God was working in ways you didn’t fully see at the time, this episode is for you.

Christmas traditions aren’t just memories—we’re participating in a story that began with the birth of Jesus. In this episode of Miracles in the Madness, we reflect on how traditions are woven throughout the story of Christ’s birth and how they continue to shape faith, family, and belonging in our homes today.

I share some of the traditions that shaped my own childhood—family baking and cooking days, attending Midnight Mass, school Christmas programs, singing carols (with motions to The Twelve Days of Christmas), and the quiet beauty of my grandmother’s nativity scene and Christmas tree. These simple, meaningful moments helped point my heart toward the true meaning of Christmas.

This episode is an encouragement to overwhelmed moms who may feel pressure to “do it all” during the holidays. Traditions don’t have to be elaborate or perfect to be sacred. They simply need to be intentional and rooted in Christ.

In this episode, we talk about: ✨ How traditions are connected to the story of Jesus’ birth ✨ Why Christmas traditions matter for faith and family culture ✨ Letting go of comparison and embracing what fits your family ✨ How everyday traditions can point children back to Jesus ✨ Encouragement for moms creating new traditions in a new season

I also invite you to reflect on your own family traditions—and I’d love to hear what traditions are meaningful in your home. Whether they’re long-standing or just beginning, your traditions matter.

If this episode encourages you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with another mom who wants a Christ-centered, meaningful Christmas.
