Summary
In a season where everything feels important, how do you decide what actually matters?
In this episode of Homeschool Better Together, host Laney Homan sits down with Kayse Pratt, creator of Anchored Women, to talk about the power of monthly planning.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly reacting to life instead of living it with intention, this conversation will help you slow down, refocus, and create a rhythm that actually serves your family—and your faith.
Together, Laney and Kayse explore how stepping back once a month can reduce overwhelm, clarify priorities, and help you embrace your God-given limits instead of fighting them.
What You’ll Learn
- Why monthly planning is more effective than just daily or weekly planning
- How to reduce your mental load by seeing the bigger picture
- Simple reflection questions to help you evaluate your current season
- Why you can’t do it all—and why that’s actually a good thing
- How to choose a focused priority without neglecting everything else
- The connection between planning, stewardship, and faith
- A healthier mindset that prevents planning from becoming another source of guilt
Resources Mentioned
- Anchored Women (planning resources + community)
- The Steadfast Over Scattered Planner
- Free resource: Name Your Season Guide
Your Next Steps
Feeling inspired? Here are a few simple ways to take action:
- Set aside 15–60 minutes this week for a monthly planning session
- Ask yourself:
- What was last month like?
- What do I (and my family) need right now?
- Choose:
- 1 habit goal
- 1 project goal
- Pray over your month and ask for clarity in your focus
- Give yourself permission to let go of what doesn’t fit this season
