Does It Really Matter To Your Family Relationships If You Have Good Emotional Self Control?

Episode 129 // Do you ever feel like your emotions are a bit out of control?
 
Most of us feel this way from time to time… or, let’s be honest, maybe every day. Family life takes a lot of energy. Things never go as planned. Relationships take work. 
 
But your emotional self control actually has a BIG impact on all of that hard work!
 
Your marriage, motherhood, and every part of family life is impacted by how you are managing your emotions. From depression to burnout to loneliness, emotions impact you and everyone you care about. 
 
Join me for a look at how your emotional self control (or struggle with it) is impacting your family, and some practical tips for what to do about it. 
 
My friend, your emotional self control matters. Let’s dive in.
 
And hey, join us inside our Patreon community for our BRAND NEW 30 Day Self Care Challenge!

Depression And The Christian Mom… Seeking God’s Face In Psalms 42-43

Episode 128 // Summertime in the Psalms Series
 
Maybe I’m crazy for closing out our summertime series with a look at depression… But it’s a part of the psalms, it’s a part of many moms’ lives, and it has a huge impact on Christian family life. 
 
So let’s go there. 
 
In today’s episode, we are walking together through Psalms 42-43, trying to find the right perspective between the joy we have in Christ and the hard emotions that are so often part of life. Let’s find encouragement from God’s Word in our most painful emotions.

[BONUS] Reflections And Celebrations On My 40th Birthday

How do you celebrate your birthday?
Sure, I like cake and presents. But my favorite part of my own birthday is the reminder to take time and reflect. As another year passes, it is humbling and helpful to reflect on what God has been doing and give him praise for the years so far. 
So join me today to give thanks to God and reflect a bit on 40 years of life... hitting 40 with 4 littles under 4 at home is definitely not where I thought I'd be! All glory to God. 
*And don't forget to enter my BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY by Friday this week!* Scroll back to the last bonus episode for all the details.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

What’s your priority as a Christian mom? A wake-up call from Psalm 49.

Episode 125 // Summertime in the Psalms series
 
What are your priorities, mama?
 
Okay, I know you’re going to say that your priorities are faith, family, and a few other good things. That’s awesome. 
 
But would your daily decisions show me that these are your priorities? If I looked at your weekly screen time, your bank account, or your family calendar, what might I think your Christian family values really are?
 
Today, we’re jumping back into our Summertime in the Psalms series with a big wake-up call. Psalm 49 helps us see what our priorities should be… and we can ask ourselves if our Christian family values really do line up there. 
 
Ready? Let’s dive in.
 
hugs & blessings, 
Jess

The Ultimate Guide On How A Wise Woman Builds Her Home

This is your ultimate guide to being a wise woman who builds up her home! Grab a cup of tea (and maybe a notebook and pen) and let’s chat together about wisdom, family life, and how to build a godly and joyful home.
 
Let’s dive in.

Jess
