Untraditionally Traditional: A Millennial Homemaker

4d ago

Today, I’m reflecting on the past year and thoughtfully looking ahead to what I hope the next one will hold as I prepare for motherhood. I share how I’m approaching New Year goal-setting differently this time, breaking my goals down by month and focusing on three categories: House, Family, and Personal.

In this episode, I’m processing a more emotional topic as I share how pregnancy has shifted my perspective on owning my family’s decisions and releasing the need for others’ approval. I also talk about the importance of minding our own business with the same grace we hope to receive, especially during a season filled with opinions and expectations. My hope is that this conversation leaves you feeling empowered to protect your peace, honor your family unit, and extend that same respect outward.

In this episode, I open up about my love–hate relationship with the holiday season—how the joy, nostalgia, and traditions often collide with pressure, overspending, and unrealistic expectations. I share what I’ve learned about emotional spending, the myth of “perfect holidays,” and why memories consistently matter more than material gifts. I also offer simple ways to stay grounded—from meaningful, budget-friendly gift ideas to reframing the season around connection, intention, and the values that truly make it special.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the story of how I almost hired a house cleaner during the peak of my first-trimester nausea—but ended up tackling the deep clean myself. I break down the surprising gaps in most “deluxe” cleaning packages and the hidden spots in your home that might still be making things look dirty even after you’ve cleaned. If you’ve ever wondered why your house doesn’t feel as fresh as it should, this one’s for you.
