This week on the podcast, Wendy hosts guest Kathryn Garland. This episode dives deep into the concept of "selfishness" and how focusing on our own needs can be perceived negatively, yet it is essential for our well-being. Wendy and Kathryn explore the power and meaning we assign to words, emphasizing that it’s not the word itself but its impact. Wendy shares her determination to speak freely on her podcast, while Kathryn discusses the importance of intention behind words.  As mothers, they reflect on the practice of conscious parenting, viewing their children as mirrors, and the beauty of learning together with curiosity and do-overs. Wendy’s journey of parenting in her mid-50s brings joy and fulfillment, highlighting the importance of allowing children to explore their true selves. The episode also delves into self-care, advocating for giving from our overflow and embracing the small things that bring joy. Wendy and Kathryn discuss the art of saying no to things that no longer serve us, creating space for new, aligned opportunities, and the importance of surrendering and trusting in God’s plan. Join us for a heartwarming conversation about intentional living, letting go, and finding joy in the simple, steady moments.

About Kathryn:
Kathryn Garland is a wife and mother, the badges she wears the proudest. She has always wanted to be those two people and is greatly blessed with four amazing children.  As she got more entrenched in motherhood, she began to realize how much more important being a homeMAKER was than she ever imagined. Her mission and purpose is to help people see the power of the home and the possibilities that come from a safe and grounded home (in the heart, in relationships, in the physical dwelling) and the true magic we can create from this place. Kathryn is a teacher by training, turned homeschooling mama, lifelong learner, and farmer's wife. She lives a life dreams are made of in British Columbia, Canada.
