This week, I’m thrilled to share a special conversation with Charity Gibson on the Slow Living podcast. Charity is a wife, mom of four, English professor, and author of The Working Homemaker, a heartfelt guide for Christian mothers navigating the balance between work and home life.
Her story is a testament to the strength of faith, family, and the evolving role of homemaking in today’s world.
In our chat, we dive deep into what it really means to be a “working homemaker.” Charity has an inspiring approach that redefines the traditional idea of homemaking as so much more than daily chores or routines—she sees it as a way to foster relationships and create a nurturing, joyful environment for her family.
For those of us trying to balance career aspirations and family life, her wisdom and experience offer a refreshing, real-life perspective.
Here’s what we covered:
- Breaking the Stereotype of Homemaking: Charity shares how she’s challenging outdated ideas about homemaking and creating a model that works for modern moms.
- A New Take on Nurturing Family Life: For Charity, homemaking is about nurturing and growing a fulfilling family life, not just checking off a list of to-dos.
- A Peek into a Working Mom’s Homemaking Schedule: From practical routines to everyday rhythms, Charity opens up about how she keeps her home life flowing amidst her professional responsibilities.
- Connecting with Family in Meaningful Ways: Practical tips from Charity on how to create lasting, meaningful connections with loved ones, even with a packed schedule.
Whether you’re a working mom, a stay-at-home parent, or anyone juggling multiple responsibilities, this episode is full of tips and encouragement. Charity reminds us that homemaking is a role that anyone can embrace, with the right intention and approach.
Listen in and be inspired to create a lifestyle that supports both personal and professional growth!
