The Art of Homemaking

• Maintaining Contentment as a Homemaker

  Recently, we had a listener ask for practical tips on contentment and we decided that this topic deserved a dedicated episode, so here we are! In today’s episode, we discuss maintaining contentment as a homemaker which, as most of us know, is NOT “easy”. We get deep- sharing vulnerable stories from our own lives and revealing how those moments shaped our perspectives on contentment. While there is no quick-fix solution if you are experiencing discontentment, we do believe that finding contentment in life is simpler than most of us make it out to be… Thank you for tuning in!
