I reunite with travel enthusiast, YouTuber, and full-time RV mom Kelsey Bang. Two years ago, our families set out on grand adventures! While our means of travel look quite different, many of the lessons we've learned along the way are similar! We're catching up on what’s changed, what’s surprised us, and how our lives have been deeply transformed along the way. Kelsey shares what it’s really like traveling the U.S. with her husband, their twin daughters, and the family dog - all inside an RV. We talk honestly about the joy and the challenges of building a family culture on the move. This conversation is just like Kelsey - warm, real, and full of stories that remind us what matters most: faith, family, and following the path God places on your heart, even when it’s unconventional. If you’ve ever dreamed of full-time travel, felt the pull toward a simpler life, or wondered how adventure can bring you closer to Jesus, this episode will inspire you.

What do men really think about? What fears, doubts, and pressures live rent-free in their minds? What drives them forward and what quietly weighs them down? After retiring from a successful corporate career, Matt Rutter found a new purpose as a life coach for men, guiding them to create what he calls “Wealth 360.” His holistic approach redefines success, because while financial freedom matters, true wealth goes far beyond money. Matt takes us inside the male mind, revealing the challenges men often face in silence and the deeper motivations that shape their lives. We don’t always have the benefit of hindsight but we do have the gift of learning from those who’ve walked before us. Matt offers a refreshing perspective on what truly matters in marriage, family, and building a meaningful life. This episode is filled with the kind of hindsight that can benefit all of us, right now.   @thesimplifypodcast @mattruttercoaching Work with Matt

Motherhood is full of contradictions, unspoken struggles, and sacred moments we often don’t talk about. In this episode, I sit down with my friend, Alex Fales, for the honest mom conversation we’ve all been craving. We talk about caregiving, ownership, shame, and the real experiences that so many mothers carry quietly. The inspiration for this episode came from the viral clip of Chappell Roan saying her mom friends are "in hell". Are they? Does mom content unintentionally perpetuate this message? And where’s the line between venting and slipping into victimhood? This is not a conversation about perfection—it’s about presence, permission, and creating safe spaces for women to speak about motherhood. If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one navigating the messy, holy, exhausting, and beautiful reality of being a mom, this episode will remind you: you’re not alone.   Heaven is Here - Slow down and feel the Spirit in your everyday life.  @thesimplifypodcast   @thealexfales Mindful with Media Podcast

I sit down with Alicia Wood and Megan Teerlink to talk about money, motherhood, and what it means to live in alignment with God’s abundance. We each come from different seasons and stories: I’ve been mostly a stay-at-home mom, earning sporadically, and have discovered that contributing financially can also be an energetic offering. Megan runs a thriving coaching practice while homeschooling her four kids, navigating limited time but experiencing firsthand how God magnifies her efforts and opens doors. Alicia shares her journey from dual income and financial ease to becoming a single mom and sole provider—offering a unique and deeply faithful perspective on carrying the full weight of provision. Together, we explore "wealth consciousness", God’s provision, the miracles that come when we trust Him, and the truth that we are co-creators with God through our beliefs. We also wrestle with the balance—staying present for what matters most while pursuing our passions, businesses, and financial callings. This is an honest, Spirit-filled conversation about believing bigger, receiving God’s abundance, and walking in faith as mothers who want to both nurture our homes and prosper in our callings.   @thesimplifypodcast @thealiciawood @gettingmindfulwithmegan   Get Heaven is Here - 7 Days of Sacred Shifts
