Dancing in the Kitchen

Annie Leigh Edwards

Get ready to find your groove and bust a move because you are about to dance it out with Annie Leigh! Annie Leigh Edwards is a pastor’s wife, mom of three, writer, motivational coach, and a firm believer that life is better when you’re dancing the kitchen. Like our kitchens, life is messy - but it doesn’t have to keep us from enjoying the daily grind. Dancing in the Kitchen podcast will be like a dance party with good friends. All the pressure is off. Wherever life finds you - whether it’s wiping booties or writing books, folding laundry or commuting, when you are feeling it (and especially when you are not) this podcast is for you. Dancing in the Kitchen offers interviews with some of your favorite authors, speakers, and artists. It includes conversations/ramblings with Annie Leigh and her friends as they “break it down” and share personal stories of failing forward and practical tips to do life. Be prepared to hear topics related to Gospel-centered living, parenting, depression, sex, marriage, cultivating friendships, healthy living, meal planning, and of course, pop culture. Each episode will equip you to focus on what matters most and live with intentionality, resolve, and confidence. Discover that true joy and the power to change comes from living inside-out. We will learn to be content in our current season of life, all while dreaming big for the glory of God. Together, we will be inspired to treat life more like a dance floor and less like a boxing ring (which means less bruises, and more fun).

09/06/17 • 59 min

Jeannie Cunnion is a Jesus lover and a grace clinger.

She is the author of Parenting the Wholehearted Child, Mom Set Free, and Mom Set Free Bible Study.

She is also a frequent speaker at women’s conferences and parenting events around the country.

These days, however, you’re most likely to find Jeannie alongside her husband, Mike, with baby Finn in her arms while cheering on their three older boys at any one of their sporting events. Jeannie's passion is encouraging women to live in the freedom for which Christ has set us free - a message her own heart needs to be reminded of daily.

As for what makes her happy – well, that would be the love of Jesus, good music, a great book, worship, sand between her toes, Auburn football, putting her heart on paper, water in every form, singing like nobody’s listening, and the greatest gift God has given her, Mike and their four beautiful boys.

Here are just a few of the things Annie Leigh and Jeannie discussed:

  • Jeannie's latest book, Mom Set Free...which just released last week!
  • Life with all boys.
  • Becoming a dog owner.
  • Unique/strange ways to go about stress relief.
  • The best vacuum money can buy.
  • Raising a teenager and toddler at the same time.
  • Why Jeannie allows herself to "waste" time.
  • Is it our job to make God happy?
  • Freedom and joy in parenting.
  • Navigating the pressures of parenting.
  • The Loud Mom Voice
  • Parenting in grace.
