  I Had to Get This Off My Chest

  Sep 29, 202612 min

  I had an honest conversation with my husband recently about something I've been carrying for a while: feeling guilty for being home, feeling like I should be doing more financially, and questioning whether I'm doing enough. But that conversation freed me. I've spent years creating, writing, podcasting, homeschooling, mothering, homemaking, and figuring out what this next season of my life looks like. And I'm realizing that I don't have to keep limiting myself because of where I've been. In this episode, I'm talking about giving yourself permission to pursue the things that matter to you, trusting God with the outcome, moving forward even when you don't know exactly where something is going, and learning to be faithful with what you already have. And yes, I'm still figuring it out too. Also, if you don't hear from me here every week, you can still keep up with what I'm doing. I'm sharing more of my everyday life, thoughts, and visual storytelling on YouTube, and I'm writing and building community over in Substack. Join the Aligned Mama Collective Watch NPW Media on YouTube: NPW Media on YouTube Thanks for being here and listening. Even if there are only a handful of you tuning in consistently, I don't take that for granted. I'm grateful you're here.

  What If You Got Mail You Actually Wanted to Open?

  Sep 22, 20267 min

  What if you got something in the mail every month that you were actually excited to open? Not a bill. Not an advertisement. Not another package you forgot you ordered. Something created to give you encouragement, practical ideas, and a reason to step away from your phone for a little while. In today's episode, I'm sharing an idea I've been thinking about for NPW: a monthly physical newsletter mailed directly to your home. I'm talking about why I love the idea of creating something tangible in a world filled with digital clutter, what I envision putting inside, and how it could become another way for us to connect as a community. Think encouragement, meal ideas, seasonal activities, homeschool ideas, intentional living, and little reminders to slow down and enjoy your life. I'm currently testing the idea before I officially move forward with it. If you'd be interested in receiving the monthly NPW newsletter, you can join the $10/month paid NPW subscription using the link in this episode's description. Your subscription would support the continued creation of NPW and, if there is enough interest, help bring this physical newsletter to life. So… would you want mail you actually want to open?

  The Messy Middle: How Do I Make It Through Faith, Parenting, Money & the Future?

  Sep 15, 202618 min

  How do we continue to live faithfully when life feels… heavy? I've been thinking about this a lot lately. As parents, we're not only raising children. We're thinking about their education, their future, their mental health, their character, their faith, and the kind of world they're going to inherit. We're thinking about money. The economy. Work. Housing. The rising cost of everything. Building wealth. Using our gifts. Preparing for a future that's changing quickly because of technology and AI. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, we're also supposed to take care of ourselves. We're supposed to sleep. Exercise. Eat well. Rest. Have hobbies. Maintain our relationships. Keep our homes together. Be present parents. Be productive. Be spiritually grounded. And sometimes you can do all of those things and still feel exhausted. So I started asking myself a much deeper question: What does it actually mean to flourish when the world around you feels increasingly uncomfortable? That question took me back to Genesis, the fall, fruitfulness, parenting, work, stewardship, wealth, education, discipline, and ultimately Jesus' words to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. This is me thinking out loud about faith, parenting, money, the future, and what it means to keep pursuing a fruitful life without believing I have to control everything. If you've been feeling like you're somewhere in the messy middle too, I hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to have everything figured out to be faithful. Maybe this episode will bless you the way this conversation blessed me. Join my Substack community here: https://jareewilliams.substack.com

  Bonus Episode: I Don’t Want to Be a Martyr for My Family

  Sep 8, 20266 min

  There’s a difference between sacrificing for your family and completely losing yourself for them. As women, especially as mothers, we can sometimes feel like being a good wife, mother, or homemaker means constantly putting ourselves last. We’re expected to give, serve, nurture, manage, sacrifice, and somehow keep going without ever admitting that we’re tired or that we need something too. But I don’t want to be a martyr for my family. I want to love my family. I want to show up for them. I want to make sacrifices when they’re necessary. But I also want to remember that I’m a person outside of what I do for everyone else. In this episode, I’m talking about the difference between healthy sacrifice and self-abandonment, why constantly running yourself into the ground isn’t the same thing as loving your family, and why taking care of yourself doesn’t make you selfish. Because our families need us—but they don’t need us completely depleted, resentful, or forgotten. Join our community: https://jareewilliams.substack.com

  I Didn’t Know Life Would Be This Hard

  Sep 1, 20265 min

  Life is hard. No matter what path you choose, there will be challenges, unexpected obstacles, sacrifices, and moments when you wonder if you’re doing the right thing. Entrepreneurship is hard. Corporate life is hard. Freelancing is hard. Parenting is hard. Taking care of your health is hard. Starting over is hard. Even staying where you are can be hard. So maybe the goal isn't to find a life that isn't difficult. Maybe it's to decide what is worth working hard for. In this episode, I talk about choosing your hard, staying connected to your bigger vision, allowing yourself to pivot, and understanding that failure doesn't always mean you're going backward. Sometimes you’re simply learning what works, what doesn't, and what you actually want. And most importantly, don't lose yourself trying to build the life you want. Work hard, but don't sell your soul to get there. Life is hard. But with God, purpose, wisdom, and a willingness to keep going, you can keep moving forward—even when the path doesn't look the way you imagined.
