Raised Traditional: Simple Ways I Get my Son Outside (Even When Life is Busy)

Getting your kids outside can feel like one more thing to add to an already busy schedule. But lately, I’ve been realizing it doesn’t have to be complicated. In this episode of Raised Traditional, I’m talking about simple, realistic ways we get our kids outdoors—even during busy seasons of life. From letting kids shoot their bows in the yard, to exploring outside for just a few minutes a day, this conversation is all about making outdoor time feel intentional instead of overwhelming. I also share why I believe getting outside matters so much for kids today, how slowing down changes the energy in our homes, and why some of the most meaningful moments don’t have to be big or perfectly planned. We talk about: Easy ways to get kids outside during busy weeks Why outdoor time doesn’t have to be complicated Traditional archery as a family activity Letting kids explore, move, and just be kids The importance of slowing down and being present together If you’ve been wanting to spend more time outdoors with your family but feel overwhelmed by life’s pace, this episode is for you. Sometimes the smallest moments outside become the ones our kids remember most.

Raised Traditional: Comparison Is Stealing More Than You Think

Lately, I’ve been realizing how easy it is to fall into comparison… and how much it quietly steals from us. From feeling like I’m not growing fast enough, not doing enough, or not showing up “well enough”… I’ve caught myself letting numbers, timelines, and other people’s progress shape how I see my own. In this episode of Raised Traditional, I’m sharing a really honest look at what comparison has been doing in my life—and how it’s pulled me away from the real reason I started this podcast in the first place. This is a conversation about: The pressure to grow, perform, and keep up How comparison shifts us from purpose into pressure Letting go of needing to be “the best” or the fastest growing Remembering why you started And finding peace in knowing that even reaching one person matters I’m not here to be famous. I’m not here to go viral every time I post. I’m here to encourage, to build up, and to love people well. And if this episode reaches even one woman who needs it… that’s enough. If you’ve been feeling behind, discouraged, or like you’re not doing enough—this one is for you.

Raised Traditional: Getting Your Kids into Traditional Archery

Getting your kids—or your whole family—into traditional archery can feel intimidating at first. Where do you start? What gear do you actually need? And how do you keep it fun instead of frustrating? In this episode of Raised Traditional, I’m breaking down simple, practical steps to help you get started without overcomplicating it. From choosing beginner-friendly gear and understanding what it really costs, to making it fun (yes… even using balloons), this is all about creating a positive first experience. I also talk about the importance of keeping expectations low, letting kids be part of the process, and how our energy as parents shapes their experience more than we realize. Plus, I share why this time of year is perfect to start—with 3D shoots, local events, and opportunities to get your family outside together. And how traditional archery can become something even bigger than a hobby… something generational. If you’ve been thinking about introducing your kids to archery but weren’t sure where to begin—this episode is for you. https://www.youtube.com/@Stickbow_Mama

Raised Traditional: Cooking From Scratch as a Busy Parent

Cooking from scratch is something I care deeply about—but as a full-time working mom, it doesn’t always look the way I imagined. In this episode of Raised Traditional, I’m sharing the real side of trying to feed your family well while also keeping up with work, kids, and a full schedule. From the pressure of doing everything “right,” to the reality of fast food nights and cereal dinners, this is a conversation about finding balance without burnout. I talk about letting go of the all-or-nothing mindset, giving yourself grace in busy seasons, and focusing on what actually matters—being intentional, not perfect. I also share a few of my favorite simple, from-scratch meals (like homemade pasta and tortillas with just a few ingredients), how I approach weekend prep like bread and bagels, and ways I try to be thoughtful with our grocery budget while still prioritizing quality food. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough in the kitchen, this episode is for you. Sometimes the most meaningful meals are the ones made with intention—even when they’re simple.

Raised Traditional: When Your Kids Move Slower Than You Want

Lately, I’ve been realizing something about myself that I don’t love… I rush everything. And more than that, I’ve been rushing my son. In this episode of Raised Traditional, I share a really honest reflection from a recent weekend where life felt nonstop—and how that pace started to show up in my parenting. From rushing through moments to feeling frustrated when my son wasn’t moving with urgency, I had to stop and ask myself a hard question: What if he’s not the problem… what if I’m the one moving too fast? This conversation dives into the tension so many of us feel as moms trying to keep up with a busy life while also wanting to be present with our kids. We talk about slowing down, letting go of constant urgency, and recognizing the ways our children can actually be teaching us something deeper. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or found yourself getting impatient with your kids… this episode is for you. Sometimes the pace our kids move at is exactly what we need.

Raised Traditional: Why I Choose Traditional Archery

Traditional archery is harder. It’s slower. And in a world full of modern equipment designed to make shooting easier and more accurate, most people would probably ask… why choose it? In this episode of Raised Traditional, I share why traditional archery has become such an important part of my life. What started as learning to shoot a stickbow turned into something much deeper—teaching patience, discipline, humility, and the value of slowing down. I also talk about how the lessons from traditional archery carry into other parts of life, especially motherhood, faith, and raising kids in a fast-moving world. Traditional archery isn’t the easiest path—but sometimes the harder path is the one that shapes us the most. If you shoot traditional, are curious about it, or simply appreciate living with intention, this episode is for you.

Join us as we dive into topics like hunting, foraging, and cooking with fresh, local ingredients—all while teaching our children to appreciate these timeless practices. In this episode, we’re focusing on bear hunting regulations in Idaho. Did you know that North Idaho is home to around 80 to 100 grizzly bears and approximately 20,000 to 30,000 black bears? As one of only four states in the lower 48 where grizzly bears thrive, Idaho plays a unique role in bear conservation. We’ll discuss the new bear identification course required for hunters starting January 2025, ensuring we all know how to differentiate between grizzly and black bears before heading into the field. I’ll share my thoughts on the importance of bear baiting, why it’s meaningful to me, and how it contributes to conservation efforts. Additionally, I’ve included links to my YouTube videos where you can see how we set up our bear bait, giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the process! Whether you’re an experienced hunter or just starting your outdoor journey, this episode aims to inspire and empower all women to actively engage in conservation and embrace traditional living.
