Lovely Home Podcast | Home Management, Positive Mindset, Healthy Habits & Rhythms

49 | Unlocking Grace, Self-Care & Family in Modern Life with Dr. Jennifer Londgren | Encouragement for Christian Homemaking Wives

HEY LOVELY! 
In this heartfelt and grace-filled episode of the Lovely Home Podcast, I’m joined by the wise, warm, and deeply insightful Dr. Jennifer (Jenna) Londgren—author, counselor, professor, wife, and mom of four. Together, we go deep on what it really means to take care of yourself as a Christian woman, even in the messiest seasons of motherhood, marriage, and mental burnout.
We talk about:
Reframing self-care as soul restoration (not selfishness)
How to break bad habits with grace and consistency
Why Christian women often resist rest, and how to stop the guilt spiral
Mental health, addiction, and why naming your struggle is the first step to healing
The truth about hormones, productivity, and why most habit books don’t work for women
Living intentionally against the norm and designing a rhythm that actually fits your family
Plus... the sourdough starter that might (or might not) still be alive in Jenna’s fridge 🥖
Whether you're a newlywed wife trying to find your footing or a seasoned homemaker craving deeper rhythms, this episode is packed with golden nuggets of truth, laughter, and so much grace.
👇 Resources Mentioned in the Episode:

48 | Why You’re Not Failing as a Wife (Even If It Feels Like It) | Biblical encouragement for Christian Homemaker Wives | Say Hello to Grace and Goodbye to Guilt

HEY LOVELY,
Are you going to bed every night with a sinking feeling that you’re not doing enough?
This episode of The Lovely Home Podcast is a grace-filled love letter to the Christian homemaker wife who’s doing her best—and still feels like she’s falling short. If you’re exhausted from the mental load, emotionally drained from the lies of guilt, or wondering if you’re a “bad wife” because dinner hasn’t made it to the table in days… this conversation is for you.
We’ll dive into:
The difference between feelings and facts—and why your emotions don’t get the final say
Biblical encouragement for tired women navigating homemaking, marriage, and identity
What the devil doesn’t want you to remember (and how to resist him)
A gentle yet powerful reminder of who you are in Christ: forgiven, lovely, and free
This episode is not a to-do list. It’s a reminder that grace has already made a way. Let this be the episode you return to when you need to remember: you are a child of God, and that changes everything.

41 | How to Transform Pinterest into Your Personal Homemaking Assistant | Pinterest Tips and Tricks for Christian Homemaker Wives

Ever open Pinterest for a dinner idea and end up knee-deep in a DIY clay earring tutorial… with zero clue what to actually cook?
In today’s episode of The Lovely Home Podcast, I’m taking you on a personal and practical journey of how I stopped using Pinterest to chase someone else’s version of homemaking—and started using it to gently support the rhythms, routines, and goals that actually work in my season of life.
We’re chatting about:
Creating boards that reflect your real life (not your Pinterest fantasy)
Pinning for habits, not insecurities
Using secret boards for personal growth (yes, you can pin your own screenshots!)
Setting simple boundaries so Pinterest becomes a helpful tool—not a guilt trap
Why progress > perfection… even in your saved pins
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “doing it wrong” because your kitchen doesn’t look like a farmhouse or your meals don’t involve fresh-picked mint… this episode is for you. Let’s turn Pinterest into a peaceful assistant, not a noisy mirror.
📌 Grab your notebook, pour your favorite sip, and let’s talk all things lovely, realistic, and grace-filled.
