Welcome to episode 19 of Restoration Home. This is a deeply personal conversation between Jennifer and Emelie about the simple, single-minded spiritual discipline of childlike faith in God as a good Father. We talk about how letting go of past wounds that keep us in states of stress and disintegration can bring a simplistic faith in God's ability to show up where we fail and be the rock we build on. Just as we would clean out our house, we can ask God to help us clean and simplify our hearts and minds.

Episode 18 is all about what simplicity is and what it isn't. Join Jennifer and Evgenia, creator of the Fit Mama Method, as they sort through the kind of simplicity we want and the kind we don't want. Growing up for Evgenia was enforced simplicity, with limited or no choices, and "stores with only cabbage." Evgenia now works as a nutrition and life coach to help mothers learn to live with intentionality and a restored simplicity that operates from values, not reactions. Evgenia brings so much wisdom and insight into our notions of simplicity as mothers and women.

Evgenia's story of growing up in Russia during and after the fall of the USSR
Healing from our childhood so we can have life giving and not reactionary values
