Episode 022: Why You Need Margin in Your Life (and How to Make it Happen)
You all know how important it is to us to be completely open and transparent with you about the realities of our lives and what we deal with as modern mamas.
It’s been heavy on our hearts to open up a conversation about the importance of margin in our lives and what it looks like to create that space.
In today’s episode we’re getting REAL about the challenges we’ve walked through in the past, and are also currently walking through, and how we’re being intentional to create space for margin and rest for ourselves.
Our hope is that you will walk away from listening to this feeling like you are not alone, and feeling like you’ve been given the permission you need to make yourself a priority and create space in your life.

EPISODE 007: Defining Your Core Values (& Why They Matter!)
Have you ever felt a little bit “off” in your life? Maybe discontent, unfulfilled or frustrated are words that come to mind? Or, have you ever wondered why the things that matter to you in life matter so much?
Whether you realize it or not, each of us has a set of core values that acts as a kind of internal navigation system, and these core values are what drive us to see, hear, think, feel and make decisions the way that we do.
When we aren’t in tune with what our core values are, it makes purposefully living in alignment with them pretty difficult – which will often lead us to constantly feel out of alignment with what’s the most important to us!
In today’s episode we are diving into what exactly core values are, why they are important if you want to live a fulfilling life in alignment with what matters most to you, and what exactly that looks like.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, get cozy and enjoy! This one is a must-listen, so be sure to share with anyone you know who could use a little re-centering in their lives!

EPISODE 001: GET TO KNOW THE PURPOSEFUL HOME
Hey y’all! Welcome to The Purposeful Home Podcast. We are Allie and Kelsey, two Jesus-loving minimalist mamas with eight kids between us, and a passion for pouring ourselves into helping wives and mamas learn to de-clutter, de-stress and live with more purpose every single day.
We are SO excited to finally be sharing our new “baby” with you and hope you’ll join us each week for some grace, coffee and girl talk as we chat about all things marriage, motherhood, and purposeful living.
We are kicking off this premiere episode by giving you an inside look at how we’ve learned to find focus amidst chaos, enjoy life more by owning and doing less and how our paths first crossed and blossomed into the creation of this new movement. Go grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea, get cozy and enjoy!
