À propos de cet audio

 Welcome to Modern Homemaking, the podcast for those who care deeply about their homes, but sometimes feel overwhelmed by them. If you’re carrying the mental load, managing routines and clutter, navigating expectations, and trying to create calm in the middle of real life, this show is for you. I’m Christy, from The Common Nest, and for over twenty years I’ve been researching, practicing, and supporting others to create happier, healthier homes through a holistic approach. Homemaking is more than cleaning or decorating. It’s about mindset, emotional wellbeing, routines, boundaries, and the invisible systems shaping your daily life. Each week, we explore the mindset, motivation, and practical methods that help you overcome overwhelm and create a home you truly love. From decluttering and routines to seasonal living, decorating. Here we are redefining modern homemaking and looking at the whole picture, because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If you’re ready for home without hustle, calm, clarity, and a space that supports you as much as you support everyone else, you’re in the right place. Your path to a happier, healthier home begins here. Welcome home!Christy from The Common Nest

    Feb 27 2026
    In this episode, we’re opening a brand new chapter. After years of avoiding the word homemaking, I’m finally claiming it, and renaming this show Modern Homemaking.This isn’t just a new title. It’s a shift in clarity, courage, and calling.For a long time, I resisted using the words homemaking and homemaker in my messaging. I worried about stereotypes, misunderstandings, and being reduced to something smaller than the work I actually do. But over time, I realized something important: the very word I was avoiding was the one my audience was searching for.Today, I’m sharing why I changed the name of the podcast, what modern homemaking truly means, and why I believe homemaking matters now more than ever.This episode is for you if you’ve ever:Felt conflicted about the title “homemaker”Wanted to care deeply about home without being boxed into outdated rolesStruggled with how homemaking is perceived in modern cultureFelt called to create a healthier, happier home, but wanted a more thoughtful approachWe’ll explore:Why I avoided the word homemaking for so longThe uncomfortable realization that people couldn’t find my workThe story of my old baking pans, and what they taught me about growth and letting goWhat modern homemaking really means in today’s worldHow the Holistic Home Method supports mindset, routines, decluttering, design, and cyclical livingModern homemaking is not about shrinking yourself. It’s not about perfection or silent sacrifice. It’s about leadership inside your home. It’s about understanding how your space shapes your mental health, your relationships, and your daily life.In a world that feels loud and divided, tending to home with intention is powerful, and more important than ever..Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you found this podcast by searching for modern homemaking, I’m so glad you’re here.Together, let’s build happier and healthier homes.

    099 - The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate Is Love: How to Love in Heavy Times
    Feb 13 2026
    In this episode, we’re talking about love, but not the soft, sentimental kind that fills store windows in February. We are talking about the kind of love that holds up when the world feels heavy.Because if you’re honest, the world right now feels heavy, divided, activating and loud.There is injustice playing out publicly. There is anger in the air. There are communities, particularly people of color, women, and members of the LGBTQ community, who are feeling the weight of hatred in very real ways.And maybe you’ve felt it in your body too. The grief. The outrage. The exhaustion.So what do we do with all of it?After hearing the phrase, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love,” I found myself sitting with that question. What does powerful love actually look like in practice? And how do we live it out without becoming burned out or bitter?In this episode, I share a grounded framework for building rooted love, the kind that sustains you instead of draining you, and the specific order it has to move in to truly be strong.This episode is for you if you’ve ever:Felt overwhelmed by the state of the world and unsure how to respondExperienced grief, anger, or activation that’s affecting your home lifeWanted to raise children who value dignity, justice, and compassionStruggled with resentment, burnout, or emotional overloadWondered how to stay grounded without becoming disengagedWe’ll explore:Why love must be rooted before it can be powerfulWhat it means to receive love before trying to give itHow tending to your nervous system strengthens your impactThe connection between a regulated home and a more just worldWhat “out-of-order love” looks like, and why it leads to burnoutHow to build a loving home in heavy times without shrinking your worldThis conversation is not about ignoring injustice. It’s not about bypassing anger. And it’s not about retreating from the world.It’s about building something stronger than hate, starting within you, strengthening your home, and then moving outward with courage and steadiness.If you’ve been carrying heaviness lately, this episode is here to help you move through it with clarity, compassion, and strength.Let’s talk about how to build love that lasts.Links & Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Love Your Home Coaching: https://www.thecommonnest.com/coachingTake the Holistic Home QUIZ - Free https://www.thecommonnest.com/quizLet’s Connect!If you loved this episode, I’d love to hear from you!
