There Will Be Joy-

in your home, your heart, & your work.

I help women get unstuck and
begin
cultivating joy again-
in their home, their heart, their work.

If you’re in a season that feels heavy, unclear, or

feel like you should be further along

if you know there’s more for you but can’t quite name it yet…

you’re not alone— and you're in the right place!

 You don’t need a complete life overhaul or a five-year plan.

You need space to breathe, clarity to see again,

and gentle direction toward the next right step.

 

I’ve walked through seasons of waiting, rebuilding, pivoting, and learning how to choose jowhen life felt anything but simple.

 

This space exists to help you reconnect with God, untangle what’s weighing you down, and move forward with peace and purpose.

 

Here you’ll find a simple 7-day devotional designed to help you:

Reconnect with God in everyday life

Shift your perspective and renew your mind

Release what no longer serves this season

Cultivate joy that’s rooted, not fleeting

hi friend

I’m Lauren — a wife and mama of five, learning to live on grace and a whole lot of prayer. I’m a multi-passionate entrepreneur, homesteader, and homemaker who cares deeply about creating a life that feels meaningful, not rushed. My journey has taken me from building businesses to slowing down at home, and I’ve learned that joy isn’t found in doing more — it’s cultivated in the everyday. Around here, I share encouragement, practical tools, recipes, and faith-filled rhythms to help you simplify your home and live with intention in every season.
