Welcome to the She Seeks Pearls podcast, where we discover pearls of the heart and home to make our days better! I’m your host, Dorothy, a coffee addict, go-getter, Christian, and new mama. Join me every Thursday for 20-minute episodes containing practical tips and advice, inspiration, and encouragement. This world is full of messages telling you to just simplify your life by opting-out of responsibilities, and I don’t know about you, but the idea that I can have these perfectly Instagram-worthy days is just unrealistic and leaves me frustrated. So, I’m on-mission to enjoy life despite the occasional chaos and overwhelm that goes arm-in-arm with carrying big responsibilities. I believe our life isn’t meant to be easy or simple, but meant to be enjoyed, and while we definitely can do that whole simplifying thing and make certain areas of our lives lighter, I’m aiming for focused living rather than simple living to find enjoyment in my days even with a full list of to-do’s on my plate, and I hope I can help you to do the same. So you’ll find that some episodes are direct how-to’s for various issues, and other episodes will be more conversational, inspirational, or just personally challenging. I certainly don’t have all the answers, but my goal is to give you valuable help! So if this sounds like information that you’d enjoy, subscribe to keep up with each episode release and hit the link in the description to access the podcast website. Now let’s get started with seeking pearls to better our days.
