She Had a Baby, Health Issues, and Still Stayed Consistent (with Krista Babel)

3Rs of Meaningful Housework: simplyconvivial.com/clean

What do you do when your plans fall apart? Traction at home starts with your mindset, not your plans or schedules.

In this episode of Simply Convivial, Krista shares what it looked like to walk through a year full of unexpected challenges — a difficult pregnancy, a newborn with allergies, and constant shifting demands — while still making real progress.

We talk about:

Why reviewing a hard year actually helps
How to stay consistent when life is unpredictable
The difference between intensity and faithfulness
Keeping habits while lowering the bar
Why small, steady progress matters more than big plans

If your year already feels off track, this conversation will help you reset your expectations and focus on what actually counts.
