Emily Wilson Hussem, author of Sincerely, Stoneheart, joins Jennifer Pepito to talk about the lies plaguing women, why it matters that we carve out quiet time, protect our mothering time from distractions, and learn to walk in the truth of what God says about you.
As women, we have beautiful, fertile imaginations, and it is what allows us to see our children as future doctors, creators, homesteaders, and lovers of God. The downside of the imagination is that it makes us more susceptible to believing lies and meditating on fearful things. Emily and Jennifer both share their story with fear and the ways they are pursuing the truth of what God says about who they are, and allowing His Words to define their thoughts and feelings rather than the enemy.

Decluttering is Peaceful with Julia Ubbenga
Welcome to episode 137 with Julia Ubbenga, the author of Declutter Your Heart and Your Home. At the core of the Restoration Home is not just external change but heart change, and Julia brings so much wisdom and insight into how healing our hearts can declutter our homes, bring us more peace, and stop us from using stuff to fill holes in our hearts.
It is an incredible episode with helpful advice on how to declutter, and, more importantly, how to figure out what is truly important to you and your family.
This episode gives us even more reasons to pursue the "less is more" mindset, because decluttering is peaceful. Plus, the less we have to organise, the more we have time for the things we really love.

Hope and Heroes with Leah Boden
Episode 136 of is a return of our beloved friend Leah Boden and the author of Modern Miss Mason. Leah is back on the #restorationhomepodcast to talk about her incredible new writing project, middle school biographies of heroes of the Restoration Home: C.S. Lewis and Charlotte Mason.
Leah and Jennifer talk about the life lessons learned from Mason and Lewis's lives, which were Christ centered and focused on faithfulness and inspired by God's calling on their lives. This is an incredible conversation for the whole family about having great heroes of the faith and a Christ centered education.
They discuss the role of Charlotte Mason in an education that is story and narrative based. Charlotte Mason education isn't about reading as many books or cramming as much information into our children as possible. Instead, we are stewarding an education that fills them with a deep sense of identity, discernment of good and evil, and the ability to continue learning their whole lives.
