59. The Enneagram and Marriage
November 12, 2019 11:40 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBWe had a lot of fun with this episode -- and we learned a few things about each other in the process of recording it! What's today's podcast episode topic? The Enneagram and marriage. Whether you love all things Enneagram, are skeptical of it, or don't even know what it is, I think you'll enjoy this candid conversation about our differences, how we have worked through them, and what it looks like to love and respect someone who is the complete opposite of you in many ways. Pull up a chai...
58. Building Father-Daughter Relationships
November 05, 2019 10:52 - 26 minutes - 24.2 MBOn this week's episode of the podcast, we're talking about how to build a strong father-daughter relationship -- and I brought in my resident expert, Jesse, to give us input. (I didn't mention this on the podcast, but we also asked the girls to both give input on what they feel helps to build a strong relationship and that was some of the basis of what Jesse shared.) It has been so beautiful to watch Jesse lean in and love his daughters so well as they've gotten older. I know there can be ...
57. Why & How I Stopped Drinking Coffee
October 29, 2019 18:09 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBAny time I mention that I no longer drink coffee, I get so many questions on why and how I did this. I decided it was high time I write a post about my journey with quitting coffee! Why I stopped drinking coffee Let's be clear. This is not something I ever wanted to do and I never ever dreamed I'd be a non-coffee drinker! {So there's still hope for all you coffee drinkers out there who would like to try giving up caffeine but can't imagine a world without your coffee!} I started work...
56. South Africa Trip Recap (with Jesse and Kathrynne)
October 22, 2019 10:17 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBAs a mom, there’s not much that warms your heart more than seeing your child find such fulfillment in loving on others. We usually go to South Africa every year to spend time with our friends there and to see the progress and work being done by Take Action Ministry — the ministry that is near and dear to our hearts and the one we are very involved with there. (If you’re interested in reading about previous trips, you can read more and see lots of pictures here.) I couldn’t go this year b...
55. Breaking Free from Anxiety, Stress, & Survival Mode (with Aundi Kolber)
October 15, 2019 10:26 - 35 minutes - 32.1 MBOkay, I know I've said this before about other episodes, but I truly think today's episode was one of my very favorite podcast recordings to date! Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Aundi Kolber is a therapist and I felt like I got a therapy session just by spending an hour with her?! :) Listen in to the episode and you'll see what I mean. Aundi has a gift of sharing so eloquently and yet also in such a heartfelt manner. She just exudes such peace and calmness, but also such...
54. Jesse Answers Your Burning Questions
October 08, 2019 10:17 - 35 minutes - 32.8 MBIn 2014, Jesse closed down his law practice, we moved from Kansas to Tennessee, and he came home full-time. That was over 5 years ago and it’s taken us a few years to find our rhythm. We’ve both learned and grown a lot in these last five years. It hasn’t been easy. He struggled through a period of depression. I struggled to figure out what it looked like to love him well through that. But in the last two years, I’ve seen Jesse truly come alive, embrace who God has made him to be, and pou...
53. 4 Strategies to Survive Stretching Seasons
October 01, 2019 10:34 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MBAre you in a season of life that feels stretching, exhausting, or overwhelming? If so, today's episode just might really encourage you! I share 4 strategies for surviving stretching seasons that I'm currently implementing right now in the middle of morning sickness and a really, really full work schedule (gratefully, I'm finished with 3 of the biggest work weeks of my year and things are slowing down now!) By the way, I intentionally use the word stretching not stressful... and I explain...
52. My Unplugged Sundays Experiment
September 24, 2019 10:42 - 20 minutes - 18.3 MBWhen Jesse and I first got married, we always took Sunday offline. It was a day for us to just enjoy going to church, resting, and being together as a family. In recent years, I’ve fallen out of that practice (I'm not even exactly sure why, but I did). In addition to going to church and volunteering at church, Sunday became a day for me to also play catchup on a lot of blogging work and emails. This meant that I was usually working at least some hours every single day of the week. Which ...
51. Our HUGE announcement!
September 17, 2019 07:00 - 19 minutes - 18.2 MBThe biggest surprise of our lives: I’M PREGNANT!!!!!! The fertility specialist said we weren’t even a candidate for IVF, but y’all, our God is bigger than a specialist’s diagnosis or multiple tests that said it would never, ever be a possibility. When we got the devastating new last year that we would never be able to conceive again — even with a lot of fertility help — we decided to grieve and find closure and then let the dream of expanding our family through pregnancy die. Instead, we...
50. 4 Rhythms You Need in Your Life (with Rebekah Lyons)
September 10, 2019 10:40 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MB“We don’t need to hustle to prove something God already says is true.” I can’t stop thinking about this quote, ever since I read it in Rebekah Lyon’s book, Rhythms of Renewal. If we’re gut honest, how often are we working so hard in an effort to try to impress someone else, earn someone’s approval, or prove something to ourselves or others? Jesus came so we can stop striving and instead rest in the beautiful truth that we are enough in Him. We don’t have to do more, be more, try ...
49. Finding Good Friends
September 03, 2019 10:37 - 27 minutes - 25.4 MB“We can’t win when we go it alone.” -Jessica Honegger In this week's podcast, I share more of my struggle with friendships. I talk about the truths that have set me free to develop deep relationships and some of my best tips for finding good friends. If you've struggled to develop deep relationships or you know someone who struggles with finding and keeping friends, I hope this episode encourages you. In this episode, Jesse and I also share what’s saving our lives this week and we are on...

August 27, 2019 10:22 - 33 minutes - 30.4 MBKristin Maher, author of the new kids’ book, The Awfulizer: Learning to Overcome the Shame Game, sat down in my office studio last week and had a really honest conversation with me. We talked about what shame is, how to help our kids understand and recognize their Shame Voice, and what to do when your older child doesn’t feel like they are good enough. We also had a really frank discussion about shame and body image and how many of us adults still struggle with shame and those feelings o...
47. The Power of a Morning Routine
August 20, 2019 10:39 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBWe're in the middle of getting back to the swing of things around here now that school has started back. One of the things that has made such a difference for us in jumping back in to getting everyone out the door early in the mornings is the fact that we had a great morning routine throughout the summer. In this episode, we talk in-depth about our morning routines, what they look like, and why they work so well for us. Whether you love or loathe the idea of morning routines, I think this ...
46. Modesty, Legalism, and Grace
August 13, 2019 10:42 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBEver since Jesse and I did our show on breaking free from legalism, we’ve received a lot emails, messages, and comments all asking similar questions. The questions were all something like, "If you don't adhere to legalism, what should you adhere to?" "How do you determine what you should believe and practice?" "What kind of convictions should a Christian have when it comes to dress, music, dating, a woman's role, etc.?" In this episode, Jesse and I dig into the concept of standards and h...
45. The Apps & Tools We Use to Plan Our Day
August 06, 2019 16:22 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBA question I get asked often is, "How do you plan your day and keep track of everything in an organized manner?" Well, in this week's episode of The Crystal Paine Show, Jesse and I not only share what's saving our lives and talk about books we are reading, but we also give you an insider look into how we each plan our days. Jesse’s time management plan is a little more detailed than mine, but it works for him. He uses his Appigo app, his Michael Hyatt Full Focus Journal, and our family G...
44. Our #1 Tip for a Stronger Marriage
July 30, 2019 07:00 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MBJesse and I are so very, very different. And I love it so much (well, most of the time!) Case in point: Jesse and I went to Home Depot recently to pick out lighting fixtures for the bathroom renovation. I walked in, scanned the shelves, and picked the first fixture that was inexpensive and looked like it would match. Jesse, on the other hand, had spent at least an hour beforehand looking at multiple websites, researching brands, and comparing options. Then, in store, he analyzed the pros...
43. The Lies We Believed
July 23, 2019 10:40 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBFor the longest time, the words that I believed about myself were, “Not enough.” I had believed this lie long enough that it became my truth. I believed I wasn’t good enough for friendship, so that’s why I didn’t have any close friends. I became a world class people pleaser — and I spent years agonizing over whether people approved of me and working hard to win and keep approval. I believed I wasn’t good enough when it came to school, so I tried to prove myself by becoming a workaholic...
42. Haters Gonna Hate

41. Building a Relationship of Trust With Your Kids
July 09, 2019 10:31 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MBDo you feel like you can come to us and share your struggles honestly?” We sat the girls down last week and asked them this question. I told them that someone had requested we do a podcast episode on building trust and open communication with your kids and we wanted to get their truthful opinion on whether they felt it was a topic we could tackle. Four years ago, I was deep in the trenches of parenting for my own reputation. When a child was struggling or had made a bad choice, I approac...
40. Our Favorite Things
July 02, 2019 10:36 - 39 minutes - 36.1 MBWe've had some pretty heavy topics on the podcast recently, so we decided to do something fun and more lighthearted this week. I asked on Instagram for your best ideas for a lighthearted podcast topic idea and many of you requested that we do a Favorite Things Episode. So pretend you're sitting down at the table with us having coffee (or tea!) and let's talk about some of our favorite things. We tell you our favorite: Book Movie Season Place We've Lived Bible Verse Color Podc...
39. My Struggle with Anxiety (with Jesse Paine)
June 25, 2019 09:48 - 42 minutes - 38.6 MBA few months ago, I did an Instagram Live on anxiety where I talked about what to say to someone who struggles with anxiety. In that live, I opened about walking with Jesse through his anxiety and the lessons that I've learned through it. After I did that video, I got a lot of feedback and followup questions and some requests for us to do a podcast dedicated to the topic. In this episode, Jesse shares really candidly about his struggles with anxiety and how it manifests itself. He also s...
38. Marriage and Business: An Honest Conversation (with Jesse Paine)
June 18, 2019 10:41 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MBRemember that goal I set in 2018 to open our home every single week? Well, it was hard and scary at first, but the more we did it, the more it's become second nature to use! Last week alone, we opened up our home all week to host three college girls who are volunteering at Pine Cove Camp in the City, we hosted the Girls' Bible Study for the teen girls at church (I think maybe 20 girls came?), we had multiple teens over, we had two couples over for dinner, and we had a family over for dinne...
37. Why We Stopped Homeschooling (an interview with our kids)
June 11, 2019 09:43 - 43 minutes - 39.4 MBOn August 16, 2016, I posted the above picture on Instagram with this caption: Today is a bittersweet day. After many years of homeschooling, I just dropped the kids off at the new Classical School they are attending this year. I'm so grateful for those sweet years I had to be a homeschool mom. I'm also grateful for God's direction this year (for a long list of reasons) that a different schooling option is best for our family and our kids. I won't pretend it's been an easy decision. It...
36. How to Find Couple Friends (with our local friends)
June 04, 2019 07:00 - 31 minutes - 28.9 MBFor years, I believed the lie that I didn’t know how to be a good friend. Because of some past hurt and rejection, I told myself that I was a disappointment to those closest to me. I let this lie become my truth and I built a thick barricade around myself to keep other women at arm’s length. I was self-protecting... and when anyone would get too close, I’d pull back. I didn’t realize I was doing any of this, of course. I just thought that I struggled to make friends and felt lonely much ...
35. How Foster Parenting Has Changed Our Lives (with Fran Maynard)
May 28, 2019 10:03 - 33 minutes - 30.7 MBToday on the podcast, not only do Jesse and I share some fun book updates, a hilarious podcast review we received, and something that's saving my life, but I also am joined in studio by one of my dear local friends! Fran Maynard and I got to know each other well over the past few years as our families were in Community Group together. Then, she and I got even closer two years ago as we were in a small group in our church's Discipleship Program. This past year, Fran and I also had the privi...
34. Emotions & Wholehearted Living (with our pastor, Eric Hoffman)
May 21, 2019 10:11 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBJesse and I are excited to have our pastor on the show today! We’re part of the discipleship program that he started at our church, and you’ve probably heard us talk about the program many times if you've been following me online the last few years. Jesse actually joined the Discipleship Program shortly after we moved to TN. It ended up profoundly impacting his life. I was more reluctant to be a part of it, but I finally said yes the next year... and well, my life will never be the same!...
33. How to Be Married to a Strong Woman (with Jesse Paine)
May 14, 2019 09:56 - 41 minutes - 37.6 MBJesse surprised me as we were prepping for this episode by telling me he had recently deleted Facebook off of his phone. I had no idea that he had, but I had noticed he has been knocking things off his to do list right and left. In this episode, we not only talk about boundaries we've set for our phones, a book we are reading, and recent travels. Plus, we tackle a somewhat hot-button topic that multiple listeners requested: How our marriage works since I have such a strong personality. A...
32. What it's like to be a Highly Sensitive Person (with Anne Bogel)
May 07, 2019 06:59 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBLast time we recorded an episode for The Crystal Paine Show, we had just gotten back from Kansas. And this time, we just got back from Destin, Florida! It was our first time there (can you believe it?), and we had an amazing trip. We haven’t gone on a long road trip by ourselves since our honeymoon, and even though it was a little bit weird to be in the car for six hours by ourselves, I’m so thankful that we got to go! Today’s guest on the show is the amazing Anne Bogel, who you may reme...
31. Eat Well & Spend Less Time in the Kitchen (with Lisa Burns)
April 30, 2019 10:33 - 32 minutes - 29.4 MB(Listen to the episode for the story behind this photo!) Today's episode not only includes details on our whirlwind trip to Kansas, my thoughts on buying markdowns, a book I loved recently, a new book Jesse is reading, and a very practical interview with Lisa Burns from This Pilgrim Life. I first connected with today’s guest, Lisa Burns, when she signed up for my four-week blog coaching class. It's been so fun to watch her blog and social media take off since that class -- and she’s now ...
30. Why We Moved to Nashville (with Jesse Paine)
April 23, 2019 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MBLast week, Jesse and I were supposed to record an episode telling more of our story, but he had to go out of town unexpectedly and was gone for almost the whole week. In this episode, we share more about that, why we don't function very well when he's gone, but why I'm happy he was able to make the trip. We also talk about books we're reading (my book was one I almost didn't share about!), my new non-coffee healthy "mocha" I've been drinking in the mornings, and a special offer on my cours...
29. What is the Enneagram? (with Leigh Kramer)
April 16, 2019 07:00 - 35 minutes - 32.2 MBWe’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about the Enneagram recently, so I thought it was high time we devote part of an interview to explaining what it is and why it can make such a difference to understand. Truly, understanding the Enneagram has changed so much of my perspective on life and has improved my relationships, my compassion toward others, and has helped me to embrace the way that I am wired and see it as a gift, instead of something to be embarrassed about. My friend an...
28. The Secret to a Happier Marriage (with Audrey & Jeremy Roloff)
April 09, 2019 10:40 - 37 minutes - 34.7 MBWant to know the secret to a happier marriage? Tune in to this podcast episode with Audrey & Jeremy Roloff. We loved having Audrey & Jeremy Roloff into our home last week to record this join episode of the podcast. As I talk about on the show, I actually didn't know who Audrey & Jeremy were until their publicist reached out to me a few months ago and asked if she could send me their brand-new book, Love Letter Life. I Googled their names (yes, I did!) and discovered that they are well kn...
27. Digital Minimalism (with Cal Newport)
April 02, 2019 07:00 - 31 minutes - 29.1 MBI am super excited to bring you this week’s episode of the podcast… but I have to be honest and tell you that recording this episode was one I was pretty nervous about. You see, unlike most of my other guests, I didn’t have any relationship with Cal Newport. I didn’t know anyone who knew him. I didn’t know his publisher. And I’d never connected with him on social media (because, as we’ll talk about on the show, he doesn’t have social media!) When I read his book, Deep Work, at the beginn...
26. How Myers-Briggs Saved My Marriage (with Meg Tietz)
March 26, 2019 07:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MBI have some big news about a change for the podcast! Jesse is officially my new co-host on The Crystal Paine Show! I've gotten such great feedback every time he’s been on the show and we have had so much fun recording together, so I'm excited to have him joining me on every episode! Today's guest is Meg Tietz is the host of the beloved Sorta Awesome podcast. Meg is really passionate about the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and I'm thrilled she agreed to come on the show and share her wisdo...
25. The Year My Body Broke Down (with Jesse Paine)
March 19, 2019 07:08 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBAfter last time Jesse was on my podcast, I got a request from a listener asking if he could do more of the talking on the episodes he’s on. He's actually quite a talker when he feels comfortable in situations (and can give me a run for my money when it comes to talking!), so I loved this request because I think it encouraged him to know that you all enjoy what he has to share and he doesn't have to feel like he needs to hold back. So I'm excited that you'll be hearing more from him in this...
24. Parenting a Difficult Child (with Jami Amerine)
March 12, 2019 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.2 MBWhen Jesse and I got married, I tried so hard to fix him. I saw all of his shortcomings, and I wanted to help him be better. Surprise surprise, this caused a lot of tension. It took a while for me to realize that my job was to focus on myself (and there’s plenty of work to do there) rather than try to change or “fix” other people. This idea goes for our kids, too! In today's episode of The Crystal Paine Show, I'm talking with Jami Amerine about how easy it is to try to fix our kids and h...
23. Answering Your Burning Questions (with Jesse Paine)
March 05, 2019 11:26 - 34 minutes - 32 MBToday’s episode is going to be something completely new! So many of you have asked such great questions, and I really appreciate them, but it’s hard for me to manage to answer them all. That’s why today’s episode is completely devoted to answering your burning questions! Jesse is here to read the questions that you’ve asked, and we’ll answer them together! This will be extra fun because I haven’t thought about the answers ahead of time, so you’ll hear my totally honest answers on the fly. ...
22. How to Be Brave (with Melissa Radke)
February 26, 2019 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MBI was kind of giddy about doing today’s interview… because I had listened to Melissa Radke’s audiobook, Eat Cake, Be Brave, and had fallen in love with her hilarious, tell-it-like-it-is honesty and couldn’t wait to get to talk to her in person (well, it was actually over Skype, but that was a big step up from just listening to her on audiobook!) In our conversation, we dig deep into bravery, forgiveness, and rising about negativity. As Melissa explains, bravery doesn’t always mean jumping ...
21. The Year That Changed the Trajectory of Our Lives (with Jesse Paine)
February 19, 2019 11:35 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBThanks to popular demand, Jesse is back on today's episode! And this time, he’s joining me for the entire episode. We didn't really plan it... he was just sitting across from me when I went live and his mic was turned on. As you'll hear... he jumped right in! ;) We disagree about the weather, we talk about our new shower filter and how it's made such a difference in our lives, and I ask Jesse to share about the books he's been reading. And then we pick up right where we left off in our s...
20. Stop Procrastinating and Do the Next Right Thing (with Emily P. Freeman)
February 12, 2019 08:00 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBWell, y’all, after 19 podcast episodes, I’m finally feeling like I’m starting to get my feet underneath me and feel more comfortable with this whole podcasting. So, even though it scared me a lot, this is the first episode where I didn’t plan out every word I was going to say. That’s a big deal for me as one of my big goals for this year is to be as comfortable on the podcast as I am on live video… but I keep reminding myself that it took at least 30-50 live videos before I started feeling...
19. Making Family Dinner a Priority (with Tiffany King)
February 05, 2019 08:00 - 31 minutes - 28.7 MBNow that it’s February, the excitement of the new year has probably started to fade for you. And it’s around this time of the year that it can begin to feel like you just want to give up on your goals for 2019. This episode might be just the shot in the arm you need to get back on track! I’m chatting with Tiffany King from Eat At Home Cooks — a woman who has made it her mission to help busy women spend less time and effort in the kitchen and more time as a family. She’s joining me today fo...
18. Infertility, Open Adoption, and How to Love When It’s So Hard (with Rachel Nielson)
January 29, 2019 14:17 - 34 minutes - 31.7 MBI'm doing something I've never done on the podcast before... I'm doing an entirely interview-driven episode. I usually try to keep interviews with guests to around 15 minutes and then we devote the other 15 minutes of the podcast to other segments. But as I was prepping for this particular interview, I just had this feeling that I needed to go longer in the interview. That in order for you to really hear the story well, I needed to allow the entire 30 minutes for the interview. So that's...
17. The Hardest Year of Our Marriage (with Jesse Paine)
January 22, 2019 08:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MBJesse is joining me for another really honest episode where we share our more of our story. This time around, we dig into one of the harder seasons of our life, when Jesse was still in law school and we had just had Kathrynne, our first daughter. We talk really candidly about one of the hardest years of our marriage and how stress caused such a toll on all areas of our life -- and ended up landing me in the hospital. At the time, it felt like our world was falling apart. But we look bac...
16. The Outfit Formulas That Changed My Life (with Alison Lumbatis)
January 15, 2019 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MBIf you’ve been following my blog for a long time, you know that for years I said, “I’m not a fashionista!” I felt so inept when it came to putting together cute outfits and I felt like anytime anyone complimented me on my outfit, I needed to apologize for someone or deflect the compliment by saying something like, “Oh this shirt?? I just pulled it out at the last minute and I don’t really like it.” Or, “Thanks, but I don’t really know this dress is my style.” I said these things because ...
15. How Practicing Gratitude Will Change Your Year (with Erin Port)
January 08, 2019 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28 MBToday we’re talking about sinuses, allergies, India, personal growth and development, and how to cultivate a grateful spirit. Yup, it’s another episode of The Crystal Paine Show… and like usual, you’re going to get a plethora of topics! 🙂 Today I’m joined by the delightful Erin Port from Simple Purposeful Living. Unlike everyone I’ve interviewed so far, Erin doesn’t have a book (yet!). And truth be told: I didn’t even know who she was until a few months ago. As we share on the podcast,...

Today, on the the podcast, I share some practical ways to start your new year well. We’ll talk about everything from choosing a word for the year to meal prep to savoring life. I couldn’t think of any better way to kick off the podcast in 2019 than by inviting the woman who inspired my 2018 “word of the year” to be my guest! Monica Wilkinson is a blogger, mom, and author of the book Slow Lane...
13. How I Broke Free from Legalism (with Jesse Paine)
December 18, 2018 08:00 - 33 minutes - 30.6 MBWell, this episode is all about Christmas and Christmas candy and cleaning your house for Christmas and one of our family's favorite stocking stuffer traditions... and then we take a hard turn and Jesse interviews me as I share more of our story and specifically how I broke free from legalism. (I know, those two topics have nothing to do with one another -- but hey, you just never know what you're going to get when you tune into the podcast each week!) To be honest, I didn't know how my ...
12. How to Create a Home That Serves Your Family (with Myquillyn Smith)
December 11, 2018 08:00 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBOther than my interviews with Jesse, this was my very first interview to do in-person -- with Myquillyn Smith (aka The Nester) sitting right across the table from me as we recorded. I loved getting to chat with her face-to-face and be inspired by her heart for creating a cozy and inviting home that serves your family well. Myquillyn and I talk about the importance of making your home into a place that fits the way you’re called to use it, and she offers practical advice for women who may f...
