Jessica Turner The Fringe Hours

Welcome to episode 032 of Mud Stories!

Mud Stories is a podcast dedicated to bringing you inspiration in your muddiest moments, hope to make it through your mud, and encouragement for you to know, you are not alone.

In today’s episode I’m talking with Jessica Turner, wife, mom, marketing professional and founder of the lifestyle blog The Mom Creative. There she documents her pursuit of cultivating a life well-crafted, through posts mostly on parenting, memory keeping and frugal living.

Jessica is a writer for DaySpring’s (in)courage, co-host of the Bloom Book Club, an advocate for World Vision, a regular speaker at blogging conferences nationwide, and an award-winning marketing professional.

Jessica and her husband Matthew live in Nashville, Tennessee with their three young children: Elias, Adeline, and brand-new baby Ezra.

In this episode Jessica and I discuss:

  • The dilemma of wanting to over-yes ourselves with so many good things
  • The benefits of saying no
  • Our struggle balancing our commitments with our relationships
  • And how to deal with our temptation to compare ourselves with the success of others

Jessica shares:

  • Some benefits of prioritizing rest and sleep
  • Practical tips on making more room for ourselves and our passions
  • And how to find those fringe hours in our lives and maximize them for our benefit
