Simple Rhythms for Busy Moms | SAHM, Routines, Biblical Motherhood, Balance, Schedules, Work-Life Balance, Productivity

The holiday season fills up fast, especially for high-achieving entrepreneur moms who are used to carrying a lot. In this episode, I talk about why the real issue isn’t time—it’s energy. Every invitation, responsibility, and “good thing” pulls from a limited reserve, and when we say yes to everything, we often end up drained, overextended, and unable to actually enjoy the season with our people. I share why every “yes” is also a “no,” how to recognize when your capacity is being stretched too thin, and why protecting your energy is essential in this season. We also build on the holiday “To DON’T” list from the last episode and apply it specifically to your energy and capacity. I walk through how to say no to good things without guilt, set boundaries that actually stick, and release the pressure to make everything perfect. Saying no isn’t about missing out—it’s about creating space for rest, presence, and peace, so you can show up fully for what matters most and truly experience the season instead of just surviving it. I pray this episode encourages you!

The holidays have a way of quietly piling on expectations — more traditions, more events, more spending, more pressure to make everything magical. In today’s episode, I’m inviting you into a different approach: creating a Holiday To-Don’t List. Instead of asking yourself what else you can squeeze in, we’re talking about how to intentionally protect your capacity so you can actually enjoy this season. I’m sharing why this practice has become a non-negotiable for me as a mom and business owner, and how saying no to the right things has completely changed how December feels in our home. We’ll walk through what a Holiday To-Don’t List really is, why trying to do it all leaves you drained and disconnected, and how social media often fuels expectations that don’t align with real life. I’m also sharing specific examples of what I’m choosing not to do this year and why each one creates more margin for what matters most. If you’ve ever ended the holidays exhausted, wondering where the joy went, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, simplify, and build a holiday rhythm that honors your values, your family, and your capacity. I pray this episode encourages you!

Have you ever felt a pull to open your home more often — to create a place of connection, comfort, and belonging — but weren’t sure where to begin? In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with someone who has inspired me deeply over the years: Renee Higgins. Renee is a wife of eleven years, homeschool mama to five little ones (including toddler twins!), and a woman who embodies biblical hospitality in the most simple, faithful, and approachable way. She shares practical rhythms, gentle mindset shifts, and the small-but-powerful habits that make welcoming others into your home feel not just doable, but genuinely life-giving. We also dig into the heart of hospitality — why it matters, how Scripture shapes the way we open our homes, and what it looks like to build a family culture rooted in generosity and presence rather than performance or perfection. Renee’s perspective is refreshing and deeply encouraging, reminding us that meaningful hospitality doesn’t require a spotless home or elaborate meals. It begins with a posture of openness, a willingness to serve, and an understanding that our homes can be a ministry in the everyday moments. If you’ve longed to make hospitality a more natural rhythm in your family’s life, this conversation will give you both the practical tools and the encouragement to start right where you are. I pray this episode encourages you! Hugs!   -KyAnn   Mentions: Follow Renee on IG: @renee_elisabethh   *DM me for details on the limited Rhythms that Scale spots opening in December!

Have you ever noticed how your capacity grows most in the moments that stretch you — not sweep you under? In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing a recent high-ticket investment I made and how it reminded me that real growth often feels uncomfortable, but in a grounded, steady way. We’re talking about the balance between a healthy push and slipping into survival mode, and why that difference matters so much.  Inside the episode, I share how rhythms, planning, and knowing your capacity make these stretch moments easier. We talk about Parkinson’s Law, power-hour focus, and how small stretches expand what you can handle. I also share a reminder I hold onto — that my business is more successful now, homeschooling three kids and working far fewer hours than before motherhood. That didn’t come from hustling harder…it came from aligning my time with my priorities and stretching my capacity wisely. If something in this episode spoke to you, tag me on Instagram or send me a DM — I’d love to hear what resonated most as I plan out 2026 content. I pray this episode encourages you!

Have you ever wished you had more meaningful holiday traditions but felt unsure where to start — or worried you were already “behind”? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the heart of holiday rhythms and simple, everyday hospitality. I’m sharing a few of our own experiences from this season, from spontaneous moments with friends to Thanksgiving morning memories with family. What surprised me most this year is how often new traditions are born simply by trying something once…and realizing it’s exactly the kind of legacy you want your family to grow up with. We’ll talk about how rhythms create the mental capacity to say yes to new traditions, how to remove the barriers that make hospitality feel intimidating, and why inviting others in doesn’t have to be fancy, elaborate, or perfectly planned. In fact, the holidays are one of the easiest times to practice everyday hospitality — the kind that feels warm, simple, and achievable in any home. If you’ve ever wanted to start your own traditions, open your doors a little wider, or create a season that feels more connected and less chaotic, this episode will give you the encouragement (and the permission) to begin right where you are. I pray this episode encourages you!
