Are you ready for change—but feeling overwhelmed about where to start? You know something needs to shift this year. Maybe it’s your spiritual life, your marriage, your mental health, or simply how you’re showing up day to day. But when you try to decide what to work on first, everything feels equally important… and equally exhausting. In today’s episode, we move beyond inspiration and into practical action. This is the next step in our Wonder series, where we take the declarations you made in previous episodes and finally put hands and feet to them. Because while mindset matters, real transformation happens when faith meets intentional action. In this episode, I walk you through a clear, prayerful, step-by-step process to help you: Identify the one area God is inviting you to focus on right now Stop trying to change everything at once (and burning out) Discern what habits to add, what to drop, and what actually fits your season Invite God into your decision-making instead of relying on pressure or comparison Choose 1–3 realistic next steps that lead to lasting change This is not a “feel good and forget it in two weeks” kind of episode.This is a grab-a-pen, pause-the-podcast, let’s-do-this-together kind of episode. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Are you feeling stuck as you step into the new year? Like you want something different—but you’re not quite sure what that next step is or how to get there? If so, this episode is for you. Today, I’m inviting you into a conversation that is full of hope, honesty, and real-life transformation. In this episode, I sit down with two incredible women—Marissa and Ellen, recent graduates of the Pain to Peace Academy—and they courageously share what God has done in their lives over the last few months. These are not polished, “everything is perfect now” testimonies. These are real stories of obedience, healing, growth, and learning how to live differently when old patterns no longer work. If you’ve been wondering whether the Academy might be for you…If you’ve been feeling a nudge but also fear…If you’re tired of repeating the same cycles and want new fruit this year…I encourage you to lean in and listen. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Do you ever sit down to reflect on the past year or try to dream about the new one… and instead of feeling inspired, you just feel overwhelmed, stuck, or even hopeless? If resolution-setting feels heavy, confusing, or discouraging right now, this episode is for you. Today I want to walk you through a completely different way to prepare for a new year — one rooted in wonder, not pressure. In this episode, I share how God gave me the word “wonder” for this year — and how He wants to invite you into a year marked by hope, curiosity, faith, and expectancy instead of burnout or survival mode. This is not about setting more resolutions or trying harder. It’s about shifting how you see your life. My prayer for you is that this year would not be marked by striving, pressure, or fear — but by wonder. That you would remember who God is, what He’s capable of, and how deeply He cares about every area of your life. You are not stuck. God is not done. And there is so much more ahead than you can see right now. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE.

Do you feel like you’re just getting through the day? Like you’re surviving instead of truly living? Maybe you feel stuck, exhausted, or quietly wondering if things will ever get better. If that’s you, this episode is for you. Today, we’re talking about wonder—and how rediscovering it can bring life, joy, and hope back into places that feel dark or stagnant.  As we move through the Christmas season and toward a new year, I felt God impress this word wonder on my heart. Wonder isn’t just a feeling—it’s a posture. It’s the belief that there is more than what we see right now. That God is still working. That surprises, redemption, and beauty are still possible, even after long seasons of pain. In this episode, I unpack what wonder really is, why it matters so much, and how losing it slowly drains the life out of us. We talk about how a lack of wonder can leave us feeling flat, hopeless, and resigned—like this is “as good as it gets.” But that is not God’s story for your life. I truly believe God wants to restore wonder in your heart—this Christmas season and beyond. You are not forgotten. You are not stuck forever. And even if it feels silent right now, God is still working behind the scenes. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE.

Do you ever find yourself lying awake at night, spiraling through every possible what if?What if something happens to my kids?What if we get a diagnosis?What if our finances fall apart?What if something goes wrong that I can’t control? If this is you, friend—you are so not alone. God put this episode on my heart because the “what ifs” were creeping into my own life, and He opened my eyes to the truth: worry imagines a future without God in it. This episode will ground you, strengthen you, and help you step out of fear and into the peace that Jesus promises. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Do you ever catch yourself saying, “I just don’t feel like it”… and then making your decision based on that?I don’t feel like getting up.I don’t feel like exercising.I don’t feel like cooking.I don’t feel like reading my Bible.I don’t feel like dealing with this right now.If so—same, friend. This episode came straight out of my own conviction. Recently, I heard someone casually explain why they skipped something based on how they felt, and it was like a lightbulb moment. I suddenly realized: that’s me. That’s what I’ve been wrestling with for years—trying to honor how God made my body and emotions without letting my feelings run my life. In today’s conversation, we’re exposing the cultural lie that says, “Just listen to your feelings.”Because yes—God created our feelings, and they matter. But they were never meant to be the leader. They’re meant to be indicator lights, not our steering wheel. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama? Sign Up for the Pain to Peace Academy HERE.

Do you ever find yourself grumbling? Feeling discontent? Frustrated with your season, your home, your people, or even yourself? If so, friend, you are not alone. This episode was one I had to stop everything to record because I am living it right now. I’ve been in a challenging season, and my spirit needed these reminders just as much as yours does. We’ve been talking a lot about the enemy’s schemes lately, and one of the biggest ones he uses is discontentment. He wants you to focus on what’s lacking—what’s broken—so you never see what God is actually doing. Today we’re digging into what Scripture says about being content in every situation and the practical rhythms that help us live this out. If you’ve been overwhelmed, frustrated, or feeling sorry for yourself—even in the middle of a blessing—you’re in the right place. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Today’s episode is such a gift, friend. I got to sit down with one of my dear friends and former neighbors, Ana, and talk about something I know so many of us are thinking about: How do we prepare our kids to thrive in the workforce and be a light for Christ in an ever-changing world? If you’ve ever looked at the next generation and felt nervous, confused, or overwhelmed (hello Gen Z stereotypes!), this conversation will encourage you. Ana has lived in the corporate world for nearly two decades, worked in both finance and marketing, managed teams, mentored young professionals, and now runs Business Excellence Hub, a program designed to fill the massive gap between what kids learn in school and what they actually need to succeed in real life. If you have a teen, college student, or even an elementary child you’re already thinking 10 steps ahead for, this episode will give you clarity, hope, and so many practical tools for raising confident, capable, young leaders. https://www.businessexcellencehub.com/ https://www.instagram.com/behub_us/ love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Do you know what the voice of the enemy sounds like? Can you catch thoughts that don’t align with God’s truth—before they take root in your mind? If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, bitter, ashamed, or constantly battling discouraging thoughts, this episode is for you. Today, we’re talking about catching the enemy—recognizing where his voice is sneaking into your life and learning how to take those thoughts captive so you can walk in peace and freedom. The enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy, and while we often imagine that as big external attacks, most of the time he’s working through our thought life. He plants small, subtle lies that feel like our own thoughts—“It’s not fair,” “He doesn’t care,” “I’ll never be enough,” “I’m the only one who does anything.” Those lies slowly divide our marriages, drain our joy in motherhood, and distort our view of God and ourselves. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Do you feel confident walking into the day—family dynamics and all—and actually enjoying it? If you’re feeling nervous, overwhelmed, or unsure of how everything is going to play out, this episode is for you. Today I’m sharing the mindset shifts, heart posture, and practical tools that will help you have an amazing Thanksgiving no matter what circumstances greet you.  As we head into the holiday, so many of us wrestle with expectations, old wounds, family tension, overstimulation, or just the desire to control how the day goes. I’ve been there. I’ve ruined holidays because of the picture I built up in my mind. I’ve stressed myself out as a host. I’ve gotten dysregulated by dynamics I didn’t expect. And over the years God has really taught me how to enter the day differently—with freedom, intentionality, and a heart that is focused on love over perfection. In this episode, I walk you through the six and a half things that will help you experience a truly peaceful, joy-filled Thanksgiving this year—one that honors God, strengthens your relationships, and keeps your heart grounded no matter what happens. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Do you realize just how much the physical environment of your home impacts the emotional and even spiritual atmosphere? For so long, I undervalued the physical. I focused on the spiritual, emotional, and mental—and those absolutely matter. But what I’ve learned over the years is that the physical space you live in is shaping your peace, your stress levels, your ability to connect, and even your discipline. And today, we’re diving into all of it.  In this episode, we're continuing our home series and talking about how to create a home that refreshes you, supports your emotional health, and helps your family thrive. I’ll share the three main “places” we can fall on the spectrum—over-focused on the physical, under-focused on the physical, or grounded with a God-centered view. I’ll share where I’ve personally struggled (hello, moving chaos mixed with three kids and my husband out of town!), the conviction God has shown me, and practical ways to start shifting your home environment without falling into perfectionism. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

If your internal dialogue were played out loud, what would it sound like? In this episode, I help you examine the internal environment you’re cultivating—your thoughts, self-talk, and beliefs about yourself—and how they shape every part of your outer world. We talk about the hidden impact of negative thoughts, how Scripture calls us to renew our minds, and four practical steps to take authority over the lies that have lived rent-free in your head for too long. This conversation will help you move from self-criticism to Spirit-led confidence so you can bring peace not only into your home but into your own heart. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?
