• 148 | How to Create a Family Culture of Hospitality During the Little Years w/ Renee Higgins

  Have you ever felt a pull to open your home more often — to create a place of connection, comfort, and belonging — but weren’t sure where to begin? In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with someone who has inspired me deeply over the years: Renee Higgins. Renee is a wife of eleven years, homeschool mama to five little ones (including toddler twins!), and a woman who embodies biblical hospitality in the most simple, faithful, and approachable way. She shares practical rhythms, gentle mindset shifts, and the small-but-powerful habits that make welcoming others into your home feel not just doable, but genuinely life-giving. We also dig into the heart of hospitality — why it matters, how Scripture shapes the way we open our homes, and what it looks like to build a family culture rooted in generosity and presence rather than performance or perfection. Renee’s perspective is refreshing and deeply encouraging, reminding us that meaningful hospitality doesn’t require a spotless home or elaborate meals. It begins with a posture of openness, a willingness to serve, and an understanding that our homes can be a ministry in the everyday moments. If you’ve longed to make hospitality a more natural rhythm in your family’s life, this conversation will give you both the practical tools and the encouragement to start right where you are. I pray this episode encourages you! Hugs!   -KyAnn   Mentions: Follow Renee on IG: @renee_elisabethh   *DM me for details on the limited Rhythms that Scale spots opening in December!

• 147 | Memos in the Margins: Capacity & Stretching

  Have you ever noticed how your capacity grows most in the moments that stretch you — not sweep you under? In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m sharing a recent high-ticket investment I made and how it reminded me that real growth often feels uncomfortable, but in a grounded, steady way. We’re talking about the balance between a healthy push and slipping into survival mode, and why that difference matters so much.  Inside the episode, I share how rhythms, planning, and knowing your capacity make these stretch moments easier. We talk about Parkinson’s Law, power-hour focus, and how small stretches expand what you can handle. I also share a reminder I hold onto — that my business is more successful now, homeschooling three kids and working far fewer hours than before motherhood. That didn’t come from hustling harder…it came from aligning my time with my priorities and stretching my capacity wisely. If something in this episode spoke to you, tag me on Instagram or send me a DM — I’d love to hear what resonated most as I plan out 2026 content. I pray this episode encourages you!

• 146 | Inviting Others In to Your Holiday Rhythms & Traditions

  Have you ever wished you had more meaningful holiday traditions but felt unsure where to start — or worried you were already “behind”? In today’s episode, we’re diving into the heart of holiday rhythms and simple, everyday hospitality. I’m sharing a few of our own experiences from this season, from spontaneous moments with friends to Thanksgiving morning memories with family. What surprised me most this year is how often new traditions are born simply by trying something once…and realizing it’s exactly the kind of legacy you want your family to grow up with. We’ll talk about how rhythms create the mental capacity to say yes to new traditions, how to remove the barriers that make hospitality feel intimidating, and why inviting others in doesn’t have to be fancy, elaborate, or perfectly planned. In fact, the holidays are one of the easiest times to practice everyday hospitality — the kind that feels warm, simple, and achievable in any home. If you’ve ever wanted to start your own traditions, open your doors a little wider, or create a season that feels more connected and less chaotic, this episode will give you the encouragement (and the permission) to begin right where you are. I pray this episode encourages you!

• 145 | Memos in the Margins: Making Your Own Traditions

  Have you ever had one of those holiday moments that instantly transports you back to your own childhood—the kind that reminds you why traditions matter in the first place? In today’s Memos in the Margins episode, I’m recording live from a totally spontaneous movie adventure turned date day with the kids (complete with potty break commentary), and I’m sharing some reflections from our Thanksgiving week. We started a few brand-new traditions this year and they stirred up so much nostalgia for me. It made me realize how deeply I want to create those same pockets of magic, coziness, and connection for my own kids—and how much joy there is in being the gatekeeper of the memories they’ll carry into adulthood. I’m also sharing a little Black Friday story from the drive-thru that reminded me how rhythms create space for moments we never could’ve planned for. The truth is, the only reason I could pause, lean in, and embrace that moment for my husband was because our life rhythms gave us the margin to do it. If you’ve been craving more intentional traditions, more presence, or more freedom to savor simple family moments, I think this episode will gently remind you that rhythm creates room—and that you get to shape the story your family will remember. I pray this episode encourages you!

• 144 | How to Notice When You Fall Back Into Hustle Culture with Jess Massey of Hustle Sanely

  Have you ever tried to slow down, get organized, or create healthier rhythms…only to feel yourself slipping right back into hustle mode at the first sign of stress? If so, today’s episode is going to feel like such a breath of fresh air. I’m joined by the lovely Jess Massey — host of The Hustle Sanely Podcast, creator of the Peacefully Productive Planner®, and founder of the community-centered brand Hustle Sanely®. Jess shares a vulnerable, behind-the-scenes look at her journey with hustle culture, what her life looked like before building Hustle Sanely®, and the real shifts that helped her move from burnout to peaceful productivity. She also opens up about the moments she found herself drifting back toward hustle culture and how she continues to realign her values, her rhythms, and her priorities in every new season. We talk about the practical side of building a peacefully productive life — what it looks like to simplify your days, say no to the right things, and make choices that honor your well-being, your work, and your relationships. Jess shares examples from motherhood, marriage, and entrepreneurship, the boundaries she protects even when others don’t always understand, and why progress (not perfection) is the real secret to sustainable change. If you’ve ever wished you could work hard without burning out, be present without feeling behind, or build a life that feels both productive and peaceful, you’re going to feel so encouraged by this conversation. I pray this episode encourages you!
