Healthy, Fit, and Nourished During the Holidays with Evgeniia Arasim
Welcome to episode 162 with Evegniia Arasim. Evgenia joins Jennifer Pepito to talk about nourishing your body and your spirit during the Holidays. The Holidays can be so much about celebration that it can we almost feel pressure to "celebrate", sometimes to the detriment of our peace, our health, nourishing our bodies, and feeding our souls. `
This episode is all about ways you can nourish yourself body, soul, and spirit by enjoying good food in the Holidays in a way that maximises health and feeling good, removing distractions in lieu of rest, carving out quiet time with God, and choosing long term nourishment over immediate pleasure.
Health is not about a number. Health is about feeling alive and well, having energy and waking rested. It is not about deprivation or avoidance. Instead, it is about making all of your systems better: better sleep, timing walks after meals, removing distractions, choosing rest.
We hope that you enjoy this episode and that it inspires you to take authority over your health and well-being during the Holidays.

How to do Holy Hospitality with Abby Kuykendall
Welcome to Episode 161 with Abby Kuykendall.
Hospitality is not a calling of a few, but of every Christian. Abby, joins the podcast today to talk with Jennifer about how to do hospitality for the naturally inhospitable and the gregarious.
Hospitality is about being vulnerable, offering the comfort and the presence of Christ through open doors, warm food, and a place to rest. It doesn't have to be perfect. But it should be a spiritual discipline that we all are working on.

Making Education Seasonal with Christmas School
Welcome to episode 160 with Jennifer and Emelie Pepito.
The holiday season is an amazing opportunity to shift your educational goals and create a Christmas school that allows your family to enjoy a slower pace of learning and the opportunity to apply learned knowledge to skills like engineering a snowman, baking cookies, sewing needlepoint decorations, or developing your family's bespoke Christmas soap or bath salts. There are so many ways to learn, and Christmas with all the attendant arts and crafts is a fantastic time to pivot from textbook learning and explore hands-on learning.

How to Plan Your Family's Perfect Christmas with Jennifer Pepito
Growing up, Christmas was magical. My parents made first things first, and gave us consistently quiet, deeply magical, family-centred, Christ-focused Christmases. As I grew up, I realised how truly rare this was, as so many friends expressed distaste for the holidays because their parents were stressed, or they were introverts dragged from event to event.
So often, we get caught up in the hustle of the Season, missing both its true symbolism and losing opportunities to carve out truly life-giving memories for our families. Jennifer's step by step guide to making Christmas, hosting, giving, and gifts simple, priorities focused and delightful is the perfect way to step into the Season. Enjoy!
