After taking my first-ever extended podcast break in over six years (!!!), I’m back behind the mic with a big life and business update for you. If you've ever thought about taking a break and giving your brain space to slow down, this episode is for you. I’m sharing what these past three months off have looked like—from behind-the-scenes shifts in my business to some really personal updates as we get ready to welcome baby #3.
I open up about what led me to step away for a bit, what I learned from listening to that nudge, and how God’s timing showed up in powerful, practical ways during this season. You’ll hear about how I’ve been prepping for maternity leave, making some big birth-related decisions, organizing every corner of our home (nesting!), and even getting ready to launch new Showit templates—all while parenting two young kids and navigating a third pregnancy.
Plus, I’m recapping our spring adventures like buying a new van, celebrating baby girl with a sprinkle, and taking a family beach trip. I also share what’s coming next for the podcast as we move into a new season (including what to expect while I’m on leave).
Whether you're here for business insights, real-life motherhood, or a little bit of both, this is a fun, full-circle episode to catch you up and (hopefully!) encourage you in your own season of growth and change.
