Have you ever sat at Thanksgiving wishing it felt more like home and less like a performance? In this episode, I share my own Thanksgiving journey — from childhood chaos in Grandma’s bustling kitchen, to quiet, lonely single‑mom holidays, to rebuilding traditions rooted in love and laughter.

We lean into Psalm 107 to explore how God meets us when we feel lost, when we cry out, and when we’re finally being filled again.

Whether this Thanksgiving feels heavy or hopeful, we’ll reflect together with gentle questions to help you name where you are and what your heart truly longs for.

If you’re craving a deeper rhythm of rest, presence, and purpose, I’d love to walk with you into Rhythms of Renewal in January — register before December 1 to save $50 at mom2mommentoring.com/renewal.

Family mealtimes don’t have to feel stressful, rushed, or guilt-filled. In this episode, we explore simple rhythms that bring peace back to dinner, build deeper family connection, and create a home where everyone can breathe again. Discover practical meal planning ideas, biblical encouragement, and gentle wisdom for Christian moms who want meaningful connection around the table—without overwhelm.

Today we’re talking about “Simple Rhythms For Family Mealtimes That Build Connection,” and friend…this one is straight from my heart 💝.

I know what it feels like to want to create meaningful moments at home but feel caught in survival mode. I’ve lived the busy-mom dinner hustle, the eating-in-shifts season, and the “cereal counts as a meal tonight (ok, I know everyone loves those nights, especially when all you have is the sugary sweet stuff)…right?” days.

But here’s the good news: connection doesn’t come from gourmet meals—it comes from presence. And when we bring just a little order and peace into our meal planning, we make room for God to meet us at the table.

In this episode we’ll talk about:

• Why the table matters more than ever in this hurried, distracted world

• Biblical encouragement from Isaiah 58 and Matthew 11 about the unforced rhythms of grace

• How hospitality starts right inside our own homes

• Simple, doable meal planning rhythms that save time, bring peace, and create consistency

• Gentle, shame-free ways to make everyday dinners feel special (yes, even hotdogs + mac and cheese!)

• How mealtimes become a place of healing, laughter, deeper conversations, and spiritual formation

You’ll also hear a few personal stories—candles on the table, picnic dinners on the floor, breakfast at night—and how God used those ordinary moments to shape the heart of our family.

If you’ve been longing for more connection at home but you feel overwhelmed or stretched thin…this episode will breathe hope right into your kitchen.
