At this point in my life, I feel secure in the things Iβm passionate about: things like my faith, my family, surfing, the work I do and all-around health. These things keep my days full of meaning and joy.
I want everyone to experience this same level of balance and purpose! If youβre looking to really identify what you might be passionate about, here are a few questions you can start with:
– What do you love to do?
– What comes naturally to you?
– What makes you really excited?
– What are your dreams?
– What makes you cry (tears of joy or of sorrow)?
The answers to these questions might help you land on your own sense of purpose! And Iβd be stoked to hear from you in a comment and share with me and this overcoming community what you realize that youβre passionate about.

Having children has made me to be intentional in all areas of my life. Choosing who and what we support day to day sends a message and matters. So with all the diapers our family uses, it makes sense to support a company that upholds the values that I cherish and that is why we now use @everylifeco π
EveryLife is the Pro-Life Diaper Company! They believe that every gift, every child, every life is a blessing from God! I love that EveryLife not only has outstanding diapering products, but theyβre also outspokenly pro-life.
EveryLife is partnering with me to offer 10% off your first order! Use code: BETHANY10

Happy Fatherβs Day!
Iβm celebrating Adam today, who is such an amazing Father to our children. I could cry thinking about how I scored such a super dad and husband. (::::
When i first saw Adam, it was a picture of him with a child on his shoulders and a trail of children following him! I was immediately interested.
Even as our family grows, he continues to prioritize time with each child in a way that makes them feel truly cared for and secure. And he’s just so fun! Iβm so grateful for how he loves us! To all the dads out there intentionally loving their children, Happy Father’s day!
βCome to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.β
β Matthew 11:28
This verse reminds me to come to God in prayer with all the tough situations, confusion and worries that I have. When Iβm tired from my responsibilities in motherhood, work, or relationships, He is so kind and generous to support me and give me renewed energy.
God is faithful and we can come to him.

One of my favorite things to talk about is being PRESENT in life. I like sharing about it because I struggle with it at times! And I find that it’s a continuous journey or balance.
Thereβs always something pulling at us, trying to grab our attention. Work, tv, social media, news, text response, the endless to-dosβ¦ Thatβs why I aim to continually set healthy boundaries. Protecting whatβs most important (family, time with God) matters so much.
Few things i do daily and or weekly- ( or aim to do (; )
– If I’m on my phone and my children come up to talk to me: I either pause and look them in the eye and listen, or I ask them to wait a sec and I’ll be with them when I finish soon.
– A full day off of my phone a week.
– Time in Nature with loved ones and no other distractions. π΄

For many of us itβs easy to run so early with giving advice. There is so much value in slowing down and not being so quick to share what we think on every single topic, to be βquick to hear, slow to speakβ (James 1). Sitting with a thought and truly testing it in your life. This can help develop wisdom.
Iβm working on this(:

RAD moments from my mentorship experience (: I had the incredible chance to hang out with unstoppable girls and their sweet moms during the @ohanaexperiences. After 3 months on zoom having meaningful conversations, the surf day is a cherry on top! We then get to get out in the water with them while they overcome their nerves shred! There are few joys as great as helping to equip and then launch girls into the waves of life βΒ literally and figuratively! These photos say it allβ¦
I’m inviting you and your daughter to be the next pair I get to come alongside. Learn more at the Ohana link in my bio.

Coffee is a fun part of mine and Adamβs day!! I often have coffee with Adam, always after we have our breakfast so we donβt wreck our gut drinking coffee on an empty tummy. As we sip our coffee, we read the Bible with our boys before the day really gets moving. We love starting our day slow with a connecting morning routine.
What are some of your favorite ways to connect with loved ones?!
