How to Plan Your Family's Perfect Christmas with Jennifer Pepito
Growing up, Christmas was magical. My parents made first things first, and gave us consistently quiet, deeply magical, family-centred, Christ-focused Christmases. As I grew up, I realised how truly rare this was, as so many friends expressed distaste for the holidays because their parents were stressed, or they were introverts dragged from event to event.
So often, we get caught up in the hustle of the Season, missing both its true symbolism and losing opportunities to carve out truly life-giving memories for our families. Jennifer's step by step guide to making Christmas, hosting, giving, and gifts simple, priorities focused and delightful is the perfect way to step into the Season. Enjoy!

How to Create a Home You Love with Kate Strickler
Welcome to Episode 157 with Kate Strickler. Kate is the author of the New York Times Best Seller, I Wish I Had a Bigger Kitchen. This delightful book takes you through all the little lies that can cause you to compare your lives to others or derail your plans when you sink into the trap of envy and comparison. The book and the episode are about setting real priorities for your life, your space, and your time. Because at the end of the day, what matters more: those subway tiles in your kitchen or children who grow up and want to hang out with you, a husband who feels at peace in your presence, and a community who value you deeply for who you are not what you post on socials.
