#10 Season Finale - Choosing Peace Over Pressure: A Simpler Christmas for Christian Moms

How Christian moms can slow down, simplify, and savor what truly matters this Christmas.

Thriving This Holiday Season: Calling, Purpose, Work, and a Peaceful December

In this final episode of Season 1, we’re wrapping up the year with a conversation that feels like a deep breath. I’m diving into three themes that have shaped this entire season and will continue to shape this community as we head into a new year:

1. A Heartfelt Recap of Season 1
We’ll look back at the journey we’ve taken together—from the early stories of calling and transition, to healing, motherhood, identity, and intentional living. I’ll share the biggest lessons God has highlighted through this first season of the Discovering Home podcast.

2. Calling, Purpose, and Work
We’ll talk honestly about what calling actually is (and what it isn’t), and how so many of the roles God entrusts to us—marriage, motherhood, caring for family—are not “achievements,” but assignments from Him. I’ll share the mindset shifts I had to make after leaving a busy career, why humble work matters, and how to view your job and your home through the lens of obedience and purpose.

3. Thriving This Holiday Season as a Mom
Whether you’re excited for the holidays or feeling the pressure rising, this section is your invitation to choose peace over performative perfection. We’ll talk about materialism, traditions that matter, simple hospitality, debt-free gifting, Mary vs. Martha, and how to focus on connection over consumption—all while keeping Jesus at the center.

As we close out the year, this episode will help you breathe, release pressure, and step into the holidays (and the new year ahead) with clarity, confidence, and Christ-centered peace.
