In this deeply personal episode of Heaven in Your Home, Francie shares her journey of embracing her role as a caregiver while also learning to release her burdens to God. Many women are carrying heavy loads—whether through motherhood, caring for aging parents, supporting loved ones, or simply navigating the many responsibilities of life. In this conversation, Francie unpacks how to steward your body, mind, and spirit while living in a caregiving role, and how to find rest in God’s design for you.

She explores practical, embodied ways to release stress, regulate your nervous system, and truly give your cares to the Lord—not just in theory, but in daily practice. If you’re feeling weary, burdened, or stretched thin, this episode is a must-listen.

• Why Francie began embracing her role as a caregiver instead of resisting it.

• How caregiving is a reflection of God’s heart—as an advocate, a provider, and a nurturer.

• The spiritual and physical cost of constantly giving to others.

• The shift in perspective from being a caregiver to one who also gives her cares to God.

• How stress and anxiety show up in women’s bodies and the importance of nervous system regulation.

• Practical tools for emotional and physical relief:

Naming your role as a caregiver can help you embrace it instead of resisting it. God is our ultimate caregiver. When we advocate for our loved ones, He reminds us that He advocates for us. Giving our cares to God is an active practice. It requires both spiritual trust and physical action. Your body holds the stress you carry. Learning to support your nervous system through breathwork, prayer, and movement can make a huge difference. Prayer is the most powerful form of self-care. When we turn to God, we find true renewal beyond what the world offers. Setting boundaries (like limiting social media) can help protect our peace and keep us focused on what truly matters.

Tim Keller’s Teaching on Prayer – A sermon series that deeply impacted Francie’s approach to prayer. Breathwork Practices – Techniques like ocean breath and straw breathing for calming the nervous system. Bone Broth & Nourishing Foods – Simple, God-designed ways to support the body through nutrition.

In this episode of Heaven in Your Home, Francie sits down with Megan from Body Talk Basics to explore how we can understand and embrace the beauty of our female bodies. From puberty to periods, body awareness to holistic health, this conversation provides powerful insights for moms and daughters alike. Megan shares her journey of discovering the intricate and beautiful design of the female body and how understanding it has led her closer to God’s love. Whether you're navigating these transitions with your daughter or seeking a deeper appreciation of your own body, this episode is full of wisdom, encouragement, and practical tools.

• Megan’s personal journey of moving from frustration with her female body to awe and respect for God’s design.

• The importance of educating young girls about puberty in a way that fosters joy rather than shame.

• How understanding the design of the female body can shift the narrative from burden to blessing.

• How moms can better equip themselves to walk through puberty transitions with their daughters.

• The impact of hormones on our cycles, moods, and overall health.

• Practical tips for managing periods naturally, including nutrition, warming foods, and herbal remedies.

• The role of rest and “Sabbath” in a woman’s monthly cycle.

• The connection between female cycles and God's creation, including the lunar cycle.

• Addressing body odor, skincare, and clean beauty choices for young girls.

• Why puberty and body changes are an opportunity to deepen the mother-daughter bond.

Education fosters confidence. When girls understand their bodies, they are less likely to feel shame and more likely to embrace their femininity with joy. God’s design is good. The female body is not a burden but a reflection of God’s intentional and loving creation. Pain is not normal. Period pain can often be a sign that the body needs more support through nutrition, rest, and natural remedies. Sabbath for the body. Just as God designed rest for the land and for weekly rhythms, a woman’s cycle benefits from intentional periods of rest. Practical tools matter. Simple changes—like warming foods, non-toxic deodorants, and natural skincare—can make a big difference in supporting a girl's transition through puberty. Mother-daughter connection is key. Walking through body changes with openness and education creates trust and deeper bonds between moms and daughters.

Welcome to the Summer Lovin’ Series, where we are taking some of the most beloved episodes and bringing you a mix of equipping you with a mix of mindset, mentoring and practicals to help you see the goodness of God in your bedroom and your body.

This is a loaded question. Stop “should-ing” on yourself, especially when it comes to your marriage. “Should” is a word that connotes a duty or a chore…who wants that? Let’s reframe the question moving forward.

Rather, let’s focus on the benefits of an active and growing sex life. While we can focus on the many health benefits, what if we flip the question and understand what’s behind your questions about “how often.”

In this episode you’ll be encouraged to reframe the way you think about frequency or differing sex drives. Listen in and hear a more helpful approach to choosing intimacy and connection.

What’s okay for Christian marriage in the bedroom? 

Maybe that’s the wrong question. Married sex can be a playground, filled with creativity and adventure. In this episode, we’ll reframe the question and perhaps help you process and give yourself permission for a little bit of adventure and freedom in your marriage bed. God created you in a wonderful way and designed married intimacy as celebration.

The bodies of a husband and wife are designed to fit together perfectly and there isn’t a mandate saying you need to add anything. Sex toys are simply tools that you can introduce to your married intimacy “menu.” Consider these thoughts on sex toys as you process what is good for your marriage.
