The GO TO Podcast For Moms With Kids At Home!
Do you want to love motherhood but find yourself in survival mode or burned out more than you'd like to admit?
Do you feel tugged between enjoying every moment with your kids because it "goes so fast" and feeling mom guilt because you don't?
Are you tired of wandering around the house or scrolling social media but don't know where to find the time or energy to do something that you would enjoy?
There's a way to create a life that you are excited to wake up to each day so you enjoy your time with your family, have a smooth running home, and still move forward on your greatest goals.
Hi! I'm Jessica Jackson, homeschooling mom of four, productivity and time management expert for moms, and project enthusiast.
In this podcast, I will teach you how to:
- Navigate survival seasons with a thriving mindset through practical tips
- Create a vision for your life and get clear about what really matters to YOU
- Effective planning, productivity, and time management strategies when you have kids at home - they're different!
- Build family systems that support the entire family - including mom
- Establish habits and rhythms that nurture you
- Become a Soaring Mother so you can live connected with God, use your gifts and talents to bless those in your circle of influence, adventure with your family, and enjoy meaningful relationships
I began motherhood with hopes and dreams that I could navigate my days confidently with purpose, live intentionally, find joy and contentment in everyday life, and have God's help and strength in this lifelong journey.
Reality:
I was in complete survival mode
I felt guilty a lot of the time
I had no clue what my days should look like
I was snappy and irritable with my family
Can you relate?
The good news - I closed the gap between what I hoped was possible and my reality.
And you can too.
I can't wait to help you live life with purpose and joy and see your growth in the everyday moments of motherhood.

Being A Wise Steward of your Marriage, Home, and Time with Kathryn Voetberg [Episode 169]
For a long time now, I've been navigating through how to balance the responsibilities I have for my marriage, our children, our home, homeschooling, podcasting and business. Maybe some of you have been figuring that out too. It seems like there would be a simple productivity solution that will help us fit it all in (the Thriving in Motherhood Planner does help A LOT!) but the reality is each day is full of different circumstances, opportunities, and challenges that need to be navigated. Pair that with the endless uniqueness of ourselves and the individuals in our families and there is no one-size-fits all answer for balancing all we have going on in life. Our guest today is Kathryn Voetberg @nowthatimamother is the mother of four in four years, and is passionate about teaching women how to use systems and strategy to cultivate a life they love to live, one of the three Pillars of Thriving that we talk about so much on the podcast. In todays conversation Kathryn shares the why and how-to of making God and marriage her top priorities in life. We discuss being a wise steward of our pockets of time and how for her that has compounded into a number of successful businesses with her husband @nowthatimafather. We also discuss how we stay anchored and confident in navigating our day to day life with God.

My Journey with Barefoot Shoes [Episode 168]
This week we are talking all things barefoot shoes - something that I've been deeply passionate about for years. For me, making the switch to shoes that have a wide toe box, zero drop heel (they are flat), thin soles (around 4mm thick), and super flexible (they roll up) has reduced my pain levels dramatically from all that happens to a body during pregnancy. We are covering the why to wear them, what to do to make the switch, where the kids and I have gotten our shoes and sandals, and my best tips for keeping it budget friendly.
