In today’s episode of the Lovely Home Podcast, Evelyn invites you to sit with her—literally outside in the warm Texas breeze—as she walks you through three powerful questions she asks herself every week during her planning ritual. These aren't just ordinary planning prompts. These are peace-producing, chaos-calming, heart-centering questions that help you step into your week with intention, grace, and a whole lot of Jesus.

Whether you plan by the hour or loosely list out your week, this episode is packed with encouragement and practical guidance to help you plan in pencil and give God the eraser. Evelyn gently reminds you to surrender the chaos, tune into what’s truly lovely, and build rhythms that serve your actual life—not an idealistic version of it.

You’ll learn:

• How to define and ease your weekly chaos

• The importance of aligning your to-dos with your season

• How to focus on what’s lovely, pure, and praiseworthy (hello Philippians 4:8!)

• And how to use your Lovely Home Planner to make this rhythm feel fun and life-giving

In this heartfelt and grace-filled episode of the Lovely Home Podcast, I’m joined by the wise, warm, and deeply insightful Dr. Jennifer (Jenna) Londgren—author, counselor, professor, wife, and mom of four. Together, we go deep on what it really means to take care of yourself as a Christian woman, even in the messiest seasons of motherhood, marriage, and mental burnout.

We talk about:

• Reframing self-care as soul restoration (not selfishness)

• How to break bad habits with grace and consistency

• Why Christian women often resist rest, and how to stop the guilt spiral

• Mental health, addiction, and why naming your struggle is the first step to healing

• The truth about hormones, productivity, and why most habit books don’t work for women

• Living intentionally against the norm and designing a rhythm that actually fits your family

• Plus... the sourdough starter that might (or might not) still be alive in Jenna’s fridge 🥖

Whether you're a newlywed wife trying to find your footing or a seasoned homemaker craving deeper rhythms, this episode is packed with golden nuggets of truth, laughter, and so much grace.

Are you going to bed every night with a sinking feeling that you’re not doing enough?

This episode of The Lovely Home Podcast is a grace-filled love letter to the Christian homemaker wife who’s doing her best—and still feels like she’s falling short. If you’re exhausted from the mental load, emotionally drained from the lies of guilt, or wondering if you’re a “bad wife” because dinner hasn’t made it to the table in days… this conversation is for you.

We’ll dive into:

• The difference between feelings and facts—and why your emotions don’t get the final say

• Biblical encouragement for tired women navigating homemaking, marriage, and identity

• What the devil doesn’t want you to remember (and how to resist him)

• A gentle yet powerful reminder of who you are in Christ: forgiven, lovely, and free

This episode is not a to-do list. It’s a reminder that grace has already made a way. Let this be the episode you return to when you need to remember: you are a child of God, and that changes everything.
