Get Mystie's free attitude makeover guide: https://simplyconvivial.com/attitude -- How do you stay cheerful in homemaking when the work never ends? In this episode of the Simplified Organization Podcast, I sit down with longtime Convivial Circle member Kathy Irving, a devoted wife, homeschool mom, and self-described “book-trovert.”
Kathy shares her hard-won wisdom from completing Simplified Organization Community Coaching three times and opens up about learning to persevere in homemaking through optimism, repetition, and repentance.
If you’ve ever struggled with negative thoughts or felt overwhelmed by the never-ending responsibilities of home and family life, this conversation will give you practical, Christ-centered tools to reframe your mindset, combat discouragement, and keep growing—joyfully.
💡 In this video, you’ll learn:
Why homemaking is a lifelong vocation that matures over decades
Kathy’s 7+1 step framework for battling negative thinking
How repetition, routine, and reflection renew our attitude
Why rest isn’t a reward, but part of the work God calls us to
Whether you’re feeling stuck or striving for excellence, this episode will help you love what must be done in this season of life.
