An Integrated Life is an 18 lesson audio course (think: a podcast that you can keep coming back to!) outlining a framework for you to grow deeper in your faith, take authority in your home, and gain clarity in your work - all for the kingdom of God.

Most of all, this course is about integrating your faith, home and work to work beautifully together.

But there’s tension there, right? Tension in trying to grow deeper in our faith on a daily basis (it’s hard to prioritize when we are exhausted and out of time) while managing our laundry, meal plans, clutter, and children with a to do list that never ends, while also desiring to do good work for God’s kingdom.

Let’s just pause a second : that is a LOT.

As believers, we deeply desire to live a life of faith that honors the Lord, knowing we are confidently doing the right thing. But we are constantly being told DIFFERENT things: “You are smart! Strong! Capable! Have a strong career and lean into the gifts God has given you!”

And at the same time we hear, “The highest calling you can have is to lay down your life and be a stay at home mom! It’s the most important job and the greatest gift - and your kids will only be little for so long!”

We’re left living in this tension, asking ourselves…

“What the heck is true? What is good? What is best for me and my family?”

How do we lead lives that are free of guilt, confidently showing up as the woman God has called us to be without neglecting one of these important areas of our lives : our faith, our home, and our work?

I have felt this tension in a very real way.

For 12 years I ran a wedding photography business that was one of the top in the Southeast. I had a team of photographers working for me, and I gave this business my all. When my husband Will and I started our family (in year 9 of the business) and had 3 kiddos back to back (and we’re now about to have our fourth!), I realized I identified as a “boss babe” for so long that I felt lost when it came to being a mom or thinking about my home. 

There was a lot to manage.
There was a lot of guilt.
I wasn’t sure how to best move forward.

 But immense peace flooded my heart when God started speaking to me and I realized a few key things:

01

I am a Believer, Jesus follower, Spirit-filled Christian, and This influences EVERY single part of my life.

02

I am a Wife, Mama, Home Manager… and I don’t have to downplay these roles if I’m an entrepreneur. In fact, my work should help me be the best version of these roles!

03

I am an Entrepreneur and Hard Worker... but this should never take away from my home life, and my work can change with my season of life.

I began to dig deep and see how my faith, home and work should all support one another—not take from one another.

I had to learn how to listen to God’s voice and drown out the noise, to walk in obedience in my own life, no matter what other people were saying.

I had to learn that life is seasonal, and that it was so important to discern God’s desires for the season of life I was in now.

I had to learn to walk in my God-given authority every. single. day.

How did I do this?

I began to practice rhythms in my Faith, my Home, and my Work that kept me grounded, as well as setting seasonal “rocks” to focus on in each of those areas of my life.

And I want to share with you exactly what I do!

I put together these 18 lessons to teach the framework of my rhythms and practices for my Faith, my Home, and my Work, so you can hear my heart behind them and learn the scriptures that support them.

The price is going up to $99 next year when there will be some exciting updates(!), but right now you can jump in for just $79 (and you’ll be grandfathered into all future versions)!

 Inside this program, you’ll learn…

  • How to create a rule of life to reorient your heart toward God on the pages of your calendar.

  • What it looks like to have faith-based, biblical rhythms in your life.

  • How to practice solitude on a regular basis to find clarity and escape the noise of life.

  • How to create a home and an environment that serves your season of life.

  • 10 biblical principles for handling money.

  • How to identify your calling vs. your assignment.

  • How to have faith-centered work practices.

  • How to write a mission statement and core values for your home to anchor your family together and guide them through life.

  • How we’ve become debt free—house and everything—and how you can, too.

  • How to create a 5 year, 3 year, and 1 year plan for your work.

  • How to grow a profitable business and why that’s so important for long term growth and success.

  • Daily rhythms for healthy work practices.

  • And ultimately, the peace of knowing and walking with God.

If you’re on the fence about if this course is for you, go ahead and listen to these free lessons to help you decide!

 If you DO buy this course…

You’ll hear and learn all of these things from my heart as a believer for over 20 years, a business owner for over a decade, and a wife for over a decade and mama of 3 littles. I have shared my heart, my resources, applicable scripture, lessons I’ve learned from books I’ve read, and the most effective and helpful rhythm and practices to keep me grounded in my faith, flourishing in my home, and effective with my work.

If you DON’T buy this course…

That is okay! It’s not for everyone. Just know that I truly am sharing the practices and tools that have changed my life the most—for the better. And my heart in sharing all of this with you is to help others do Kingdom work that will last an eternity and leave a legacy—in your faith, home, and work.

 My honest thoughts

…are that this course is not perfect. I pulled these lessons together while pregnant with my fourth baby, because it’s been on my heart for a long time to do so. While it feels like I could re-edit them, ask more questions, and create something that’s more perfect… I know that will come in time. And I know that right now, more than anything, I just want to share the lessons that have blessed me, our family, and our lives so much. 

So here I am, doing just that. Releasing these audio lessons in hopes that one or two will change your life. I have the honor of speaking scripture over you, telling you stories and giving you practical tools for an integrated life.
