42 | Stuck in a Bad Habit Loop? How to Break Bad Habits with Jesus, Grace, and Neuroscience | Healthy Habits, Routines, and Rhythms for Christian Homemaker Wives

We all talk about building good habits—but what about the bad ones? The ones we hate, feel ashamed of, or feel stuck in?
In this episode of the Lovely Home Podcast, Evelyn walks you through a grace-filled, biblically rooted, and brain-science-backed approach to breaking bad habits as a Christian woman. From spiritual surrender to neurological rewiring, you’ll learn exactly what it takes to notice your unhealthy patterns, interrupt them, and create holy, lovely rhythms instead.
You'll explore:
What Scripture says about habits and sin
The neuroscience behind how habits form (and how they break)
Real-world examples (like laundry procrastination!)
How to replace routines with healthier, God-glorifying ones
Practical steps, free printables, and gentle encouragement
If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of guilt, shame, or temptation, this episode will remind you of your freedom in Christ, your power to change, and your invitation to live forgiven—before you ever feel it.
Grab your pen, notebook, and favorite sip. Let’s create new rhythms… one grace-filled step at a time.

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.

37 | When You’re Tired of Doing It All: What Mary & Martha Teach Us About Finding Grace at Home | Encouragement for Christian Homemaker Wives

If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in to-do lists, behind on everything, and wondering if you’re failing at the very thing God called you to—this episode is for you.
We’re taking a deep dive into the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 and uncovering what it really means to create a grace-filled home. Spoiler: it’s not about doing more, being better, or performing perfectly. It’s about presence, vulnerability, and partnering with a God who wants to be your friend—not your taskmaster.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
Why you need both the heart of Mary and the hands of Martha
What Jesus actually meant when He said, “Mary has chosen the better portion”
How to invite God into your daily rhythms—even the messy, mundane ones
And why peace comes when you stop striving and start sitting at His feet
If your soul is craving rest and your home feels more like a battlefield than a sanctuary, this conversation will help you trade guilt for grace and hustle for holy peace.
