As we step into a new year, it’s easy to feel the pressure to become a brand-new version of ourselves: new habits, new goals, new energy, new everything. But in this episode of Southern Sisters, Meggan offers a gentler (and honestly, more sustainable) invitation: what if growth isn’t about becoming someone new, but caring better for who you already are? This conversation is all about the power of small changes. The kind that don’t feel flashy or Instagram-worthy, but quietly change everything over time. Meggan shares why slow growth is still real growth, and how tiny, consistent shifts in our habits, mindset, and home environment can have a bigger impact than we think. Drawing inspiration from Florence Nightingale, we talk about how meaningful change often starts with simple, practical adjustments — better light, fresh air, order, care — not dramatic overhauls. The same is true in our own lives. When we tend to the small things with faithfulness, trust begins to grow — trust in ourselves, trust in the process, and trust that God is working even when progress feels slow. This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to rise to the level of your goals — you need systems, rhythms, and habits that support the life you’re already living. Every baby step counts. Every small act of care matters. And you are not behind. Episode Highlights Why growth doesn’t require becoming someone new How small habits quietly compound over time What Florence Nightingale teaches us about practical change Why your home environment affects your energy and mindset The power of consistency over intensity How faithfulness in small things creates a rooted life Why slow progress is still progress — and worth celebrating Sound Bites “Small habits compound over time.” “Slow growth is still growth.” “Every little baby step counts.” Reflection Question What is one small change I can make this week to care better for who I already am?

This letter to 2026 is about releasing fear, embracing uncertainty, and learning that growth often happens when the path isn’t clearly marked.

It’s an honest conversation about living in the in-between and choosing courage over control. If you’re navigating a season where clarity feels out of reach, this episode will remind you that God often does His best work in the unknown. Want a copy of Meggan’s Book?

Episode 47: Merry Christmas, Memories & Making the Magic This week feels extra special — because we’re switching things up.Evey is graciously sitting this one out, and our brother Josh is in for a Christmas episode that is equal parts laugh-out-loud memories and meaningful reflection. We’re talking all things family Christmases: the traditions that stuck, the chaos that made us laugh later, and the moments we didn’t realize were shaping us while we were living them. Somehow, between the stories and the sibling banter, we land on something deeper:being the magic maker. Not the Pinterest-perfect kind.The kind that shows up.The kind that creates safety, joy, and connection — even when things aren’t perfect. This episode is lighthearted, nostalgic, and full of warmth — and yes, we may or may not end it by singing “Carol of the Bells” together. You’ve been warned. If you’re in the middle of the holiday hustle, this one is your reminder that the magic isn’t something you buy — it’s something you build. WHAT WE TALK ABOUT Swapping sisters for brothers (and how that went 😅) Favorite and forgotten Christmas family memories Why the smallest moments often become the most meaningful What it really means to be the magic maker Letting go of perfection and choosing presence Ending the episode with a little Christmas music chaos 🎶 TAKEAWAY You don’t have to recreate someone else’s holiday traditions to make this season special.The magic is already in you — in your presence, your laughter, and your willingness to show up.

In this week’s episode of Southern Sisters, we’re talking about parenting, perspective, and the stories we tell ourselves — the ones that quietly shape how we see our kids, our choices, and ourselves.   We start light (because we always do) with Christmas movies and cozy memories, but quickly move into deeper waters: mom guilt, setting boundaries without overexplaining, and the internal narratives that can either weigh us down or help us grow. We talk honestly about how parenting decisions evolve, why every child is different, and why guilt often shows up even when we’re doing our very best.   This episode is a reminder that perception often becomes our truth — especially in motherhood. When we believe the story that we’re failing, falling behind, or getting it wrong, it affects our emotions, our confidence, and our relationships. But when we pause and rewrite that story with grace, clarity, and faith, everything begins to shift.   We also talk about the power of community support — why isolation makes parenting harder than it needs to be, and how sisterhood helps us see ourselves more clearly. Because sometimes we don’t need a solution… we just need someone to remind us we’re not broken.   As we look ahead to 2026, this conversation invites you to reflect on the narratives you’re carrying forward — and which ones you’re ready to release. Growth doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from honesty, support, and choosing a healthier mindset one day at a time.   Episode Highlights Why parenting without guilt is a journey, not a destination How explaining decisions helps children accept boundaries The impact of personal narratives on mindset and emotional well-being Why mom guilt can become a catalyst for positive change The importance of recognizing that every child is different How gratitude and perspective can shift our emotional state Why community support matters more than we admit The power of rewriting our story for healing and growth Guess what?

This week on Southern Sisters, we’re talking about hope — the kind that feels fragile, holy, hard, and necessary all at the same time. Between the rollercoasters of Universal Studios (literal and emotional), the pressures of the holiday season, and the everyday work of parenting and relationships, we realized something: hope is beautiful… but it’s also work.   We open up about the moments that surprised us on our family trip, the way small memories can anchor big feelings, and how hope shows up even when life feels messy or overwhelming.    We also talk about what it looks like to simplify Christmas traditions (because Pinterest is not the Boss of us), how to release control without spiraling, and why the “waiting” part of hope might be the hardest part, but also the holiest.   This episode feels like a deep breath in the middle of December: a reminder that hope is not a personality trait or a mood… it’s a commandment, a lifeline, and a way God pulls us gently toward Him when we feel like giving up.   If you need encouragement this week, or if the holiday expectations are crushing your chest a little, or if you’re just trying to keep your kids alive and your sanity intact, come sit with us. You’re in good company.   💛 Episode Highlights Why hope feels fragile — and how to nourish it The unexpected heart lessons from our Universal trip How holiday pressures steal joy (and what to do about it) Why simplifying traditions can strengthen your home The spiritual challenge of waiting in hope Letting go of control and letting God rewrite the moment How family memories become anchors we don’t even know we need Why hope and vulnerability always walk together Recognizing what truly matters in the holiday season   Guess what?

Finding Rest, Choosing Peace, and Slowing Down With Intention If you are looking for Meggan’s new book, you can find it here: Building Everyday Faith Through GRIT and Grace Rest sounds simple… until you actually try to do it. In this episode of Southern Sisters, we’re talking about the one thing we all admit we need — but somehow keep pushing to the bottom of the list: rest.   We open up about why slowing down feels so hard, the responsibilities we carry, and the expectations (sometimes our own!) that keep us from truly relaxing. We share stories from our own lives — the funny moments, the honest confessions, and the times when the only thing we could do was choose peace over perfection.   We also dive into the beautiful connection between rest, family, and faith — how slowing down helps create the moments our kids remember, the memories that matter, and the resilience we need to get through the holiday season and beyond.   This is an episode about letting go of control, refusing burnout, and remembering that rest is not a reward… it’s a rhythm God built into our lives on purpose.   Episode Highlights Why rest matters for mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being The barriers that keep us from slowing down (hint: expectations + responsibility) How family bonding creates lasting memories we don’t want to miss Real-life examples of self-care — from massages to delegating tasks The freedom that comes from letting go of control How rest builds resilience and strengthens our faith Why peace is a daily choice, not a circumstance What God might be inviting you to release, pause, or soften   Sound Bites “I have trouble relaxing.” “Letting go of control is freeing.” “You need to take care of yourself.”   Scripture to Anchor the Episode (KJV) Matthew 11:28 — “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”   We love hearing from you!

This week’s episode is a little different — and a whole lot sweeter. We stitched together a “mix-tape” of sisterhood: snippets of each of us sharing what we’ve learned, loved, and held onto since starting this podcast… and what we’re most thankful for this Thanksgiving season. It’s raw, real, and full of the kind of honesty that reminds you just how powerful community can be. From stories about how this podcast has stretched us, to the vulnerable moments we didn’t expect to share, to the gratitude that’s carried us through messy seasons — this episode is a celebration of what happens when women show up for each other. You’ll hear about: The power of sisterhood and why we need each other more than ever How being real and relatable builds deeper connection What we’ve learned through our own imperfections, mistakes, and messy moments The beauty of learning from—not comparing with—the women around us Why we’re so grateful for the incredible listeners who show up week after week This episode is a warm hug, a kitchen-table chat, and a Thanksgiving blessing all rolled into one. We hope it reminds you of the goodness in your own life, the sisters who support you, and the sacred beauty of being human together. Thank you for letting us grow with you. Thank you for sharing your stories. And thank you for being part of our Southern Sisterhood — we’re so grateful for you.

The holiday season can be magical... and a little bit manic. In this week’s episode, we’re unwrapping what it really means to keep holidays meaningful — without losing our minds (or our joy) in the process. We’re swapping stories about the holiday traditions that worked, the ones that definitely didn’t (yes, there were tears involved), and how sometimes the biggest “fails” turn into the memories we laugh about for years. From failed gift giving to heartwarming moments of togetherness, we’re talking about finding the merry in the mess — and remembering that connection will always matter more than perfection.   Episode Highlights The truth about holiday chaos — and how to reclaim peace in the middle of it. Our funniest failed traditions (and why we still try again every year). Why the best gifts aren’t found under the tree — they’re found in moments together. How pop culture influences how we “do” Christmas as parents (and how to push back with grace). Making space for joy, laughter, and presence over pressure and performance.   Key Takeaways Traditions don’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. Simplicity creates space for joy. The joy of giving often outweighs the thrill of receiving. Traveling together — or even just being fully present — creates the real memories. Pop culture might set the pace, but we decide what matters most in our homes. Sometimes saying no to holiday chaos is the best gift you can give your family.   Favorite Quotes “The best gifts aren’t found under the tree.” “I want my kids to feel the joy of giving.” “Don’t be afraid to say no to holiday chaos.”   Reflection Questions What traditions truly bring you joy — and which ones just bring stress? How can you simplify the season while keeping the heart of it alive? What’s one way you can model generosity and gratitude for your family this year?   Sometimes the holiest thing you can do in December is slow down. Light the candle. Burn the cookies. Sit in the messy living room and let yourself remember: the miracle isn’t in the schedule — it’s in the stillness.   We love hearing from you!

In this week’s episode, we’re diving deep into what it really means to love through sacrifice — the little ones that make us laugh (like sharing our drinks we didn’t want to share) and the big ones that shape our faith, our families, and our future. Special thanks to our sponsor for this episode AAA Life Solutions. We are so grateful for all of your support! They can help you build peaceful solutions for your future in these uncertain times. You can reach them at 901-508-2433.  In this episode we talk about the power that can come from sacrifice, and while everything can feel uncertain, somehow we grew our confidence, deepened our relationships, and built something we’d never trade. From letting go of comfort to discovering purpose, this episode is all about how God uses sacrifice to stretch us, grow us, and remind us what love really costs — and why it’s always worth it.   Episode Highlights The connection between sacrifice and growth — how letting go leads to purpose. What 2020 taught us about gratitude, surrender, and grace in the middle of uncertainty. Turning challenges into meaningful relationships (including how business partnerships can turn into family). The funny, relatable side of sacrifice — sharing dessert, stolen toothbrushes, and letting someone else pick the movie. How to know when God’s calling you to release something good so He can give you something better.   Key Takeaways Sacrifice is often the doorway to growth. Confidence and surrender go hand-in-hand. God can turn loss into mercy in disguise. Every experience — even the hard ones — adds beauty to your story. Healthy sacrifice includes boundaries (especially for moms). The journey is often more valuable than the destination. Gratitude for past struggles creates peace in the present.   Reflection Questions What’s one area where obedience feels costly right now?   Scripture & Quotes “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”— John 15:13 (KJV) “You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.”— Amy Carmichael “Maybe it had to happen because God knew I wouldn’t move unless I was forced to…”— Reighzhyl Leera   This episode is a reminder that real love will cost you something — time, pride, comfort, control — but the return is always greater. Through laughter, honest conversation, and faith-filled reflection, we’re uncovering how sacrifice shapes who we are, strengthens our families, and grows our faith.   We love hearing from you!

This week on Southern Sisters, we’re leaning into a truth that hits especially close to home this time of year: gratitude changes everything. As the holidays approach and the world shouts “more,” we’re slowing down to talk about what it really means to live with abundance — not the kind that comes from a paycheck or possessions, but the kind that grows from a thankful heart. We kick off the thankful season as the sisters dive deep into how gratitude and stewardship go hand in hand. They share personal stories about shifting from scarcity thinking to abundant living, what it means to make intentional financial choices, and how to see God’s hand of provision even in seasons of uncertainty. They remind us that being careful with what we have doesn’t mean living in lack — it means honoring the Giver. Gratitude isn’t just an emotion; it’s a mindset that changes how we see, give, and live. When we focus on what’s already in our hands, we begin to experience joy, peace, and contentment right where we are. This episode is an invitation to pause and notice the blessings hiding in plain sight — the laughter around your table, the roof over your head, the people who show up, and the God who never stops providing. Because when we live from gratitude, we stop chasing “more” and start living like we already have enough.   Episode Highlights Thankfulness and abundance are essential for a fulfilling life. How gratitude shifts your mindset from scarcity to sufficiency. Intentional financial decisions are a form of stewardship and worship. Living abundantly starts before wealth ever arrives. Being a good steward means trusting God with both the little and the much. Practical ways to cultivate gratitude daily — even when life feels uncertain.   Favorite Quotes “Thankfulness and abundance are the key to joy.”“Let’s be really good stewards over what we have.”“What we want to do when we’re wealthy—we start doing now.”   Reflection Question What would a daily “gratitude reset” look like for you this month?

Ladies… can we get an amen for hormones? From the first teenage tears to the midlife mood swings, hormones have a way of keeping us humble. In this week’s episode of Southern Sisters, we’re talking about it all — puberty, pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and everything in between. We’re keeping it real with personal stories (some hilarious, some tender) and honest talk about how hormones affect every stage of a woman’s life — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually, too.  This isn’t your average “biology class” conversation. We’re diving into the faith, humor, and community that help us survive the swings — because let’s be honest, sometimes surviving is thriving. Special THANKS to our episode sponsor, Whole Health Chiropractic. Give them a call at 901-672-7308.  Episode Highlights How hormones shape every stage of life — from puberty to menopause The power of open, honest communication (with your spouse, friends, and kids!) The importance of educating both sons and daughters about hormonal health Real talk about pregnancy and postpartum emotional waves What happens when hormones shake up your identity and self-worth Why faith and community are key to staying grounded in the chaos Practical, grace-filled ways to manage hormonal swings with humor and hope Scripture & Encouragement “Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.” — Proverbs 31:25 (KJV) Because every season of womanhood — from the first cramps to the hot flashes — comes with both challenges and divine purpose. When we show up for each other, talk about the hard stuff, and lean into faith, we remember: You’re not crazy. You’re just a woman. Wonderfully made, hormones and all.

This week on Southern Sisters, we’re celebrating the divine design of womanhood — what it means to be daughters of God, created with purpose, power, and divine intention. Special thanks to our sponsor and snack break provider Dough Worth It! Sharolyn bakes with love and it shows!  We start with a laugh (as always) and a playful icebreaker: If women really did run the world, what would be the first rule you’d make? The answers might surprise you — and remind us that even rules have to make room for agency.  In our “Hand of God” segment, we share where we’ve been seeing Him move lately — especially in the way He’s increasing our capacity as women to do all that He asks of us with strength and grace. Then we dive into a heartfelt conversation about the divine role of women, looking back to Mother Eve and the sacred purpose found in creation, nurturing, and spiritual strength. Through stories, scripture, and laughter, we remind each other that womanhood is not accidental — it’s intentional. ✨ Episode Highlights What it really means to be a daughter of God and how that truth changes everything. How recognizing our divine role reframes our daily responsibilities — from motherhood to ministry to marriage. The difference between being an equal partner and being the same. Lies the world tells about womanhood — and how to replace them with God’s truth. How to see God’s hand in expanding your capacity, even when life feels heavy. 📖 Scriptures & Quotes “Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.” — Proverbs 31:25 (KJV) “You can—you must—make a difference. You are vital to the Lord’s team… Bind yourselves together in all holiness.” — President Russell M. Nelson Talk Referenced in the Podcast: Lessons from Eve (Oct 1987) 💭 Reflection Question How can I more fully live out my divine identity this week — in my home, my work, and my relationships? Because being a woman of God isn’t about perfection — it’s about purpose, partnership, and the quiet strength that comes from divine design. We love hearing from you!

Guess what friends?!? We've got our first sponsor this isn't a blood relative!!! And she's incredible. We love supporting local small businesses and Sharolyn with Dough Worth It is one of the best!!! Check out her website for homemade bread and cinnamon rolls. They are amazing and you won't regret it. You can also find her on instagram at @doughworthit In this thought-provoking episode of Southern Sisters, we’re tackling a big one: truth. In a world full of opinions, headlines, and “facts” that seem to change every five minutes, how do we stay grounded in what’s real? We start with a laugh (because of course we do) — sharing the funny “truths” we confidently told our kids that may not have been so… true. (Let’s just say the Holy Ghost apparently has an early bedtime, and watermelon seeds are more powerful than we thought. 🍉) But then we go deeper. From current events shaking faith communities around the world to personal stories of learning to discern God’s voice amid the noise, this episode reminds us that truth isn’t just information — it’s revelation. Episode Highlights Why it’s getting harder to tell fact from opinion — and what to do about it. How the adversary uses deception to divide people of faith. The difference between hearing noise and recognizing the Savior’s voice. Why being “of the truth” means actively seeking it — not just scrolling for it. Practical ways to help our kids become truth-seekers, not trend-followers. What Cortney learned about trusting God’s truth over self-doubt. Key Scriptures & Quotes “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God…” — James 1:5 (KJV)“In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” — George Orwell“Truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it. Ignorance may deride it. Malice may distort it. But there it is.” — Winston Churchill“Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” — John 18:37 Reflection Question Where do I need to seek God’s truth more than the world’s opinion this week? Because at the end of the day, truth isn’t trending — it’s eternal. And when the world feels loud, confusing, or divided, that’s our cue to lean in, listen, and let the Spirit cut through the noise.

What does the world need most right now? A little more love—and a whole lot less comparison and contention. In this heartfelt solo episode, Meggan opens up about her own journey of learning to love deeply: love for community, love in the middle of life’s messy moments, and yes—even love for herself. From her most embarrassing moment to the power of choosing kindness when life gets tough, this conversation is equal parts heart and humor. Meggan reminds us that love doesn’t always look like grand gestures—it often shows up in the little things: choosing peace over contention, celebrating small wins, or remembering your divine worth. And here’s the truth: love may not change the whole world today, but it can change someone’s world—and that matters. Brought to you by our friends at AAA Life Solutions, because planning for tomorrow is one of the most loving things you can do for your family today. Episode Takeaways ✨ Love is always the answer. Bring love into every situation. Love starts at home. Be a peacemaker, not a peacekeeper. Stop comparing yourself to others. Celebrate small wins. Remember your divine worth. Love may not change the world in a day, but it can change someone’s world today. So grab your fav drink, press play, and let’s talk about the one thing we can never have too much of—love.

If you could go back ten years, what would you say to your younger mom self? In this week’s episode of Southern Sisters, we sit down and write a love letter to the women we used to be—the tired, sometimes worried, but always trying moms who didn’t realize just how much they were already doing right. We kick things off lightheartedly by asking the question: which one of us would make the worst reality TV star? The answers might surprise you…or maybe not. Either way, it sets the stage for laughter and honesty as we dive into a conversation that feels like sitting around the table with your closest friends. From there, we share a few of our favorite things—the little joys that are making life easier or bringing smiles to our days right now. It’s a reminder that sometimes, in the chaos of motherhood, the smallest comforts can be the biggest gifts. If you are looking for Meggan's Aztec Clay, you can find that here: Target Link The heart of the episode is all about looking back. We talk about the worries we carried in early motherhood that turned out not to matter so much (yes, the vegetables conversation comes up), and the things we’re deeply grateful we did when our kids were little—like filling our homes and cars with music and memories. We lean into the whispers of encouragement we’d love to send back in time: keep going, this really will be the greatest work of your life. It will take all you’ve got, but it’s worth it. Faith is woven through it all. We share how our faith has grown in leaps and bounds since those early years—not through big, grand moments, but through the small daily habits that built a strong foundation. The scripture guiding us this week is Galatians 6:9, a reminder not to grow weary in well doing, because in due season we will see the harvest. As you listen, we hope you’ll take a moment to think about the encouragement you’d offer a mom a season behind you. What words would you pass along? What would you tell your younger self if you had the chance? This episode is full of laughter, honesty, and hope—a love letter not just to our younger selves, but to every mom walking the road of raising kids with faith, love, and resilience.

In this episode of the Southern Sisters Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on family dynamics, fashion choices (yes, pajamas count!), and the deeper lessons God teaches us about surrendering control. From laughing over Christmas earrings to wrestling with trust, we’re inviting you into the messy, funny, and faith-filled moments that shape our daily lives. We share listener feedback, real mom moments, and the sisterly love that keeps us grounded—even when personal growth feels hard. Together, we talk about how relationships and family support help us lean into God’s plan, even when it looks different from what we imagined. Episode Takeaways Family dynamics always bring laughter—and a little chaos. Evie always knows what’s really going on. Lindsay has officially claimed the title of pajama queen. Earrings make the best Christmas gifts (especially between sisters). Surrendering control is never easy, but it’s worth it. Trusting God’s plan requires letting go of our own. Sometimes the hardest step in growth is asking for help. You can’t understand God’s plan if you don’t understand the value of family. Whether you’re a mom juggling all the things, a sister holding down the fort, or simply someone learning to surrender control, this episode will encourage you to laugh, breathe, and remember you’re not alone. ✨ Listen now to join the conversation, laugh with us, and lean into faith and family with open hands.   We love hearing from you!
