Living Easy with Lindsey

IT'S RELEASE DAY!!! Don't Burn Your Own House Down is officially out in the world! For this special day, Jesse asked if he could sit down and interview me about the real story behind the book… and our marriage. 
We talk honestly about the habits and patterns that created distance between us. We discuss the stories of others' that are a big part of this book (and the title).
This conversation is about the reality that marriage doesn't just happen and stay great on its own. It takes intention. It takes humility. It takes learning how to repair when you've hurt each other. And it takes choosing an eternal perspective, to keep Jesus as the foundation, and choosing one another even when your feelings are all over the place.
I also share the core moment that made me feel like I had to write this book, the chapters that were the most personal for me, and what I believe is the one place couples can start if they want to begin reconnecting.
This isn't about being the "perfect couple." It's about being two people who are ready to learn how to stop drifting and start building again.


About the Book
Don't Burn Your Own House Down is about recognizing the small patterns that slowly erode connection in your marriage. I speak on modern issues in modern marriages, like social media, p*rnography, comparison, spiritual disconnection, emotional labor, marital financial struggles, and much more.
I give practical tools, along with my own vulnerable stories, to help you to rebuild emotional safety, communication, and closeness in a practical, honest way.
Don't Burn Your Own House Down is for new couples who want to prepare their hearts for a godly marriage. Couples who don't want to give up, but know something needs to change. Couples who have been married for 50 years but feel like their love has disappeared. Couples with newborns or a difficult family life who just need some reprieve and support. No matter what season you're in, this book is for YOU.

Did you know that 41% of first marriages and 60% of second marriages end in divorce? And even higher numbers are reportedly completely dissatisfied in their marriages.

In today's episode, I'm diving into the four silent killers that quietly lead couples toward disconnection, resentment, and ultimately divorce. These issues show up in nearly every modern marriage, Christian or non, and they often go unnoticed until the relationship feels distant or broken. 
You can only live like ships passing in the night until something inevitably breaks.
My prayer is that this conversation gives you the clarity, conviction, and practical encouragement you need to build a healthier, more connected, and more Christ‑centered marriage — one that resists emotional disconnection, strengthens communication, and protects your relationship from drifting toward divorce.

In this episode of the Living Easy Podcast, Lindsey Maestas sits down with Robyn Graham, author of You, Me, and Anxiety, to talk about anxiety in children, emotional regulation, and how parents can support anxious kids without unintentionally making things worse.
Together, they explore why so many parents feel overwhelmed and hopeless when navigating childhood anxiety, why children often struggle to emotionally regulate, and how unrealistic expectations from adults can escalate anxiety rather than soothe it.
This conversation offers practical tools for parents, caregivers, and educators who want to create calmer homes, healthier routines, and emotionally safe environments for kids struggling with anxiety.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
Why childhood anxiety is increasing and how it often shows up as irritability, shutdown, or emotional outbursts

Navigating impatience and emotional spirals when your children don't get what they want with, "Is it heard, hugged, or helped?"
The powerful truth that we often expect children to emotionally regulate better than adults do

How a parent's tone, pace, and nervous system directly impact a child's anxiety

The importance of routines and structure for anxious children 

How to prepare kids for the day in ways that reduce anxiety rather than increase pressure

Practical parenting strategies for emotionally dysregulated children

How to fight hopelessness in parenting when anxiety feels constant

In this episode, I sit down with my 10-year-old son for a simple, honest conversation about our mornings, our home life, and the rhythms we're still learning as a family.
We talk about what self-discipline looks like for him in the mornings. He shares the areas in which he hopes our family can still grow this year. We also touch on homeschooling, how we talk about faith in our home, and what sharing the gospel looks like as a kid.
If you're a parent navigating discipline, routines, faith, or simply wondering what your children are absorbing from your home, I hope this conversation encourages you to slow down, listen, and give yourself grace.

As the year winds down, the noise of the past year gets louder. We see what we failed at and all that we've achieved. And then as January approaches, the world shouts at us to set our New Year resolutions, to chase fresh starts, to reinvent ourselves, to do more, be better, and try harder.
But what if what your soul actually needs isn't a fresh start, but rest and obedience?
Jesus doesn't heal through pressure, He heals through presence. 
In this episode, Lindsey Maestas shares a gentle, Jesus-centered reflection for the holiday season and end of the year. She challenges herself, and her listeners, to live faithfully this year instead of doing everything to be hotter, richer, more, more, more. 
Instead of pushing self-improvement or hustle spirituality, this episode invites you to slow down, breathe, and return to the heart of the gospel: Jesus is faithful, and he doesn't call us to live a burnt out life.
Rooted in Scripture and lived experience, this episode speaks directly to women who feel quietly exhausted, emotionally spent, or spiritually worn down—especially those navigating marriage struggles, burnout, anxiety, or disappointment with how the year turned out.
