#13 Against the Grain with Katie DeGroot

07/18/22 • 42 min

In this week's episode, my friend Katie and I discuss the movement of women claiming their homes with home and intention for changing the course of their homes and those entrusted in their care, the future for the next generations, and as aid in a homesick world... even when it goes against the grain of modern society."I think we've kind of come to a place where what's being presented to us as an option really isn't working and we want something different. I don't necessarily think it's about a return to the past, what I think it's about is going forward into something else." - Katie DeGroot (@katherinelouisedegroot on Instagram)A few little things that were mentioned in today's episode + the coordinating details:1.

#12 Finding your "Why" with Jenna Smith

In today's short and sweet episode, my friend Jenna and I invite you to listen in as we discuss the importance of evaluating what matters most in your home, your "why", so that you can boldly find value amongst opposition from self, friends, family, or society when it comes to the misunderstanding of what a homemaker's role is within her home."You are making a home for whoever's in it. Maybe it's your guests. Maybe it's the friends you have over for dinner. But being a homemaker is more than being a housewife or a mom, it's making a nice home for everybody in it." - Jenna Smith (@theteacuphomestead on Instagram)A few little things that were mentioned in today’s episode + the coordinating details:1.

#14 Mothering by the Book with Jennifer Pepito

In this week’s episode, my friend Jennifer Pepito is back and we are celebrating the release of her new book, “Mothering by the Book: The Power of Reading Aloud to Overcome Fear and Recapture Joy”! From extending grace, establishing rhythm, reading classic literature, to being positive producers in our homes and communities... we invite you to listen in as we discuss the ways in which we can find joy in the midst of hardship. “We can still, even while things might seem to be falling apart in one area, bake our bread or hang the laundry on the line and appreciate the beautiful smell and the way it looks in the breeze, or take our children on a picnic and appreciate the beauty of being outdoors with them. Even in the midst of hardship, we can find joy, and that's what we see in these stories and what we can live out in our own personal lives.” – Jennifer Pepito (@jenniferpepito on Instagram) A few little things that were mentioned in today's episode + the coordinating details:1.
