Home Management for Working Women (and Busy Moms): Redefining the word “Homemaker,” and Strategies to Rest in Your Role

Today we get a refreshing makeover of the word "homemaker." Working women -  and busy moms in general - can absolutely prioritize home management and nurturing their families well.

In this episode, I sit down with author, mom, and English professor Charity Gibson to dive into her inspiring and practical new book, The Working Homemaker: Employed Christian Moms Desiring a Thriving Home Life. With heartfelt honesty, Charity shares how she’s learned to redefine homemaking, prioritize family, and pursue calling without guilt—all while juggling a full-time job and four children.

In part one of this two-part series we discuss:

•  The myth of “balance” vs. the practice of harmonizing priorities
• How Christian women can know their “why” for working without guilt or pressure from cultural expectations 
• A challenging but freeing reminder: “You don’t owe feminism a career.”
• The importance of co-parenting and letting go of micromanagement in the home
•  The power of setting plates down—not just spinning them—and making time for what matters
