3812 Remember What You Forgot
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Wouldn’t it be something—waking up tomorrow and seeing your spouse with the same excitement and admiration you had when you were dating? That feeling you had when you first said “I do” wasn’t accidental. Something real, compelling, and valuable caught your attention—remember what you forgot. Let’s be honest: daily life grinds us down. The demands of jobs, kids, bills, and endless distractions dull the sparkle in any relationship. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the .

3811 Speak Your Child's Language
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Talking to your child like you do your friends or spouse isn’t going to cut it. Kids aren’t little adults—they process, feel, and need communication on completely different levels. If you want them to truly hear and respond, you have to speak your child's language. Parenting isn’t about one-size-fits-all advice. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . It’s about tuning in to who your child is and meeting them where they are, head-on, heart-first, and in ways that make sense to them. And all this comes from the parent...

3810 Storms Don't Last Forever
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There’s a moment — or maybe many moments — when the weight of everything crashing around you makes quitting feel like the only choice. Life isn’t just busy; it’s chaotic. The lists feel endless, people demand your time, and your energy is running on fumes. Then you wonder: “Is it really worth it? Does any of this actually make a difference?” But storms don't last forever. Because when the storms hit and life spins out of control, what you are doing now — your hustle, your passion project, your business — becomes your secret weapon.

3809 Sweatpants and Self-Control
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
There are days when control feels like an illusion, and the sweatpants aren’t just comfort, they’re a retreat. But with fall looming—complete with its cozy vibes, comfort food temptations, and shorter daylight hours—it’s easy to let self-control crash right along with your energy. How do you balance wearing your sweatpants and self-control? Because all too often, one goes hand in hand with the other. If you are feeling like wearing sweatpants, you're usually not strutting your way into the gym. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . ...

3808 Never Give Up!
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life hits hard. It doesn’t ask for your permission before throwing curveballs from every direction. The distractions? They pile up, clutter your mind, and drain your focus. Instead of pushing you forward, they pull you back—making the grind feel heavier, the goal farther, and the dream dimmer. Never give up! None of that stuff—the scores on your test, your business’s ups and downs, the wins or stumbles of your family, or those parts of your life that aren’t working—matters as much as you think in the moment.

3807 What Traditions Are You Building In Your Mind?
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Your mindset isn’t just a random collection of thoughts. It’s the sum of your past experiences, your values, and the habits you’ve stitched together over time. In essence, it’s where your mental traditions begin. These are the patterns, rituals, and thought loops you come back to—not necessarily because they serve you, but often because they feel comfortable. So what traditions are you building in your mind? And more importantly, are those traditions helping or holding you back? Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . We usually...

3806 Take God Home
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
If you’re standing at a crossroads, wondering what’s next in your life, there’s a reality waiting for you that’s both deeply simple and radically life-changing: God isn’t meant to be reserved for Sundays, sermons, or religious rituals. He’s meant for every moment, every decision, every breath you take. It’s time to take God home—to invite Him beyond the sanctuary walls and into the everyday spaces of your life. This idea isn’t new; it’s rooted in a powerful story from the book of Acts. Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at the . ...

3805 Love Requires Intention
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The headline buzz this week—the engagement of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Two high-profile lives weaving their love story amid the noise, judgment, and relentless spotlight. It makes you wonder: Do you have a love so deep, so intentional, that it stands strong no matter the chatter or rumors swirling around, no matter what the world says? Love requires intention. Unconditional love doesn’t look the same for every couple. Some show it in quiet daily acts; others in grand gestures. But what matters most is cultivating a love that’s more alive today than it was yesterday. Desire to be...

3804 Practice Creates Progress
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
The seasons shift, schedules twist, and routines morph—sound familiar? As we step into this new chapter, it’s easy for family goals to get lost in the shuffle. But here’s the truth: progress in your family life isn’t a lightning strike. It’s a habit. A practice. Every lesson you repeat, every value you model alongside your children, chips away at the “hard” and builds momentum. Practice creates progress. Because this is where real progress lives. When parents actively engage in learning with their kids—not just as overseers but as participants—they send a clear message:...

3803 Keep Your Feet to the Fire
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Life doesn’t hand out a break when you’re juggling everything—the kids demanding your attention, a career that never sleeps, and a spouse who needs your love and partnership. Take one look around and you might call it chaos: a mess in the house, a whirlwind in your head, and exhaustion creeping in like an unwelcome guest. But still keep your feet to the fire. Even in the thick of the storm, your mind and heart can still find a way to line up. You can show up fully—not half-drained, not just surviving, but actually operating with some fire in your belly. Desire to be supported and...

This shared practice doesn’t just teach skills; it deepens relationships, builds trust, and cements the lessons into daily life.
And progress? It’s impossible to feel anything but proud watching it all unfold.
Think about something you started in your family. What was so awesome about it that you would want to repeat that experience?
The lessons learned as a family are a living legacy in motion. That gives you the opportunity always to create your now!
But how do you keep this momentum when distractions are endless and life is demanding?
How do you trust the process without succumbing to frustration or doubt?
As you know, parenting is HARD!! No one gets into it because they have all the answers. Oddly enough, if people knew what parents had to do with children, a lot of people would choose differently.
However, here we want to be optimistic along with real and raw. So the thing you can do is grow in life together.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Grow in life together!
Make a commitment, not for yourself, but for your family. Imagine what it would be like if you could trace out all the lessons you taught your children (and what you learned) like a family tree. It would be pretty remarkable to say the least.
Here are three straightforward moves every parent can make:
-
Set Clear, Bite-Sized Goals Together
Big ambitions confuse and overwhelm. Instead, map out small, tangible lessons or habits you want to develop as a family this season. Perhaps that involves reading aloud for 15 minutes daily, tackling a new recipe every week, or dedicating time to discuss emotions openly. When goals are shared and specific, every little win feels like a power-up fueling the progress engine; this is momentum! -
Show Up Consistently, Imperfectly
Progress doesn’t require perfection; it demands persistence. Some days your practice will shine, some days it’ll stumble and frustrate you. That’s expected. The trick is showing up anyway—even if it’s just a ten-minute check-in or a quick walk-and-talk or a ride-and-talk. Your consistency is the anchor your family needs to trust the process and believe in their collective potential, in what you are doing as a family. -
Celebrate Everyday Wins and Be Honest About Struggles
Don’t wait for the “big” breakthrough to acknowledge growth. Celebrate the small victories—your child’s curiosity sparked by a new fact, a moment of kindness shared, a challenge faced without giving up. And when things get tough, be honest. Vulnerability models courage and invites your kids to embrace their own setbacks as part of progress.
This season, lean into the “hard stuff” because that’s the soil where greatness grows.
Remind yourself daily: You can do anything you set your mind to, especially when you embark on the adventure together. Embrace the messy, the uncertain, and the breakthrough moments equally.
Practice creates progress, and progress creates a living legacy your family will carry forward. Keep going. You’re building something out of this world.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
