Episode 66: I Took My Longest Vacation Ever — Here’s What I Learned
09:43|If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of work, routines, appointments, responsibilities, repeat — this episode is your reminder that life can be different.Joe and I just took our longest vacation ever… and it completely shifted how we see time, adventure, and what we actually want our life to look like! We never expected this feeling; we thought we'd be "ready to come home" like usual on vacation after a few days. From seeing sloths up close (I wanted to snuggle them and bring them home 😂), to driving a golf cart straight onto the beach, to conversations with people that we’ll never forget… this trip showed us what slowing down really feels like.And then we stepped into the incentive trip we earned — a luxury Secrets experience we never would’ve booked on our own but now get to enjoy every single year because we said YES to an opportunity to simply be cheerleaders for each other and our world.If you’re craving more freedom, more fun, more memories, and a life that doesn’t leave you exhausted… this episode might spark something you didn’t know you needed! PS- thanks to my friend Vikki for the SWEETEST gift, these sunglasses! Visit episode 50 for a great story about incentive trips, and episode 54 to learn how we afford vacations!

Episode 65: Why I Don’t Set Goals Anymore (And What I Do Instead)
06:00|In this episode, I’m sharing how goal setting for 2026 looks completely different for me — and how my favorite planner truly transformed the way I approach it.I don’t set “goals” anymore. Instead, I set an intention and write a motivating letter to myself that keeps me focused on purpose instead of pressure. This mindset shift has helped me feel excited about what’s ahead rather than viewing it as another task to check off.If you’re ready to start the new year with faith, clarity, and a renewed heart for what God has in store — this one’s for you.🎧 Watch the pencil tip episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/k8zkjNfMU0U🪷 Shop my favorite planner (and grab your discount link here!): https://bloomplanners.refr.cc/default/u/emilyschwartz?s=sp&t=cp🌿Follow our Instagram and Facebook pages ✨ Visit our *new* website hereLet’s start 2026 with intention, not obligation — and celebrate the goodness and favor God is already preparing for your year ahead!Episode 64: Whitney Shares: When Your Story Feels Bitter but God Is Still at Work

Whitney shares her own experiences of walking through seasons of loss, waiting, and surrender — and how the Lord met her in the middle of it all.If you’ve ever felt like your story has been marked by disappointment or wondered if God could really redeem the pain you’re facing, this episode will remind you that He is always writing something greater. ✨ Related Episode: If this conversation spoke to your heart, be sure to listen to my interview with Amy on Episode 33, where we talk about growing our families and trusting God’s timing when the journey doesn’t look like we imagined.
