Thursday, 12 February, 2026
Have you ever walked through a hard season and realized afterward that it changed you?After five years of podcasting — first as Family Success Secrets, then as Her Home and Heart — this show is entering its clearest season yet.In this episode, I’m sharing why the name is officially changing to Simplifying Mom Life, what this next chapter means, and how last year’s intense “endurance season” clarified what moms truly need.This isn’t a new direction.It’s a clearer one.If you’ve been strong for a long time…If you’ve been carrying more than you ever expected…If you’ve wondered how to move from survival mode into something steadier…This episode is for you.We’re simplifying — together.Until next time, it’s not about doing it all. It’s about doing the small things with great love.Quick favor:If you’d like to share what feels heavy in your life right now, and potentially have me create an episode for you, I created a short questionnaire to help guide future episodes.As a thank you, anyone who fills it out will be entered into a drawing for a copy of my Movie Schooling book at the end of the semester.(Email is optional — only needed if you want to be entered to win.)https://forms.gle/xcgmPWHDqnDbeRYU6XOXO,KatieWould you like to bless and support this show?
