136 | The Pause Before the Plan: How to Review Your Time With Purpose

Hey sisters, Before you build another routine or schedule, it’s time to pause and look closely at where your time is really going.
In the short term, this process helps you understand your time and tasks—what’s working, what’s draining you, and what can shift. But the long-term goal is to make space for what truly matters: the time, clarity, and margin to finally declutter and organize your home with intention.
💡 A faith-filled reminder that reflection comes before rebuilding.

131 | Why Saying ‘I Don’t Have Time’ Is Stealing Your Peace (and What to Do Instead)

Do you ever catch yourself saying “I just don’t have time”? For prayer, family, rest, or even decluttering?! I’ve been there too. In this episode, I want to encourage you with truth and hope: it’s not about having more hours—it’s about where our priorities are placed.
The encouragement I am hoping to spread today:
Why “no time” is really a myth (and how I used to live stuck in it)
The difference between chasing the world’s success and living God’s way
How cluttered schedules (and cluttered homes!) keep us distracted and drained
God’s order of priorities—and why peace follows when we realign with Him
Encouragement to start small: one prayer, one family dinner, one “yes” to God
The reminder that God multiplies the little you bring, turning it into enough
This isn’t about doing more or overhauling your whole life—it’s about letting go of overwhelm and remembering you do have time for what matters most.

128 | Summer Recap: Work-Life Balance, Letting Go, and Lessons From a Small Home

This summer stretched me in all kinds of ways. Living in our little bungalow meant learning to make the most of small spaces. A full calendar reminded me how quickly “busy” can creep in if I’m not intentional. And yes, there were nights I went to bed with dishes still in the sink—and I had to remind myself that’s okay.
In this episode, I’m recapping the real-life lessons I learned about organizing, balance, and faith during these past few months. We’ll talk about:
What small-home living taught me about clutter and contentment
Why chasing a perfectly clean house only leads to burnout
How I navigated an overwhelming schedule while making time for church and community
The peace that comes from leaning on God’s Word in the middle of busyness
What I’m carrying forward as we head into a new season
You’ll also hear me reflect back on a couple of past episodes that shaped this season for me:
Episode 118: Busy or Aligned? A Summer Reprioritization + Listener Q&A — a reminder that alignment matters more than just doing more
Episode 67: 4 Ideas If You Want More Peace and Time Freedom This Summer as a Christian Business Owner — practical shifts that gave me space to breathe
I don’t have it all figured out, and I certainly didn’t glide through summer with a spotless house or a perfectly balanced calendar. But I did learn a few things worth sharing—about grace, about intentional rhythms, and about finding joy in the middle of real life.Sending a little love your way,Kristina
