It’s that time of year—the flowers are blooming, the clutter is calling, and our souls? Well, they’re ready for a little fresh air too.

In this week’s episode of Southern Sisters, we’re diving into the heart work of spring. We’re talking about what it means to truly let go—of control, of old stories, of emotional clutter—and how to make space for the good things waiting to bloom. From personal stories about shedding what no longer serves us to embracing the slow, sometimes uncomfortable process of growth, this one’s got a little grit and a whole lot of grace.

Oh—and we’re dropping a few hints about some exciting things on the horizon for the podcast. Let’s just say this sisterhood is growing in more ways than one.

In this episode, we’ll chat about:

• Why self-care isn’t selfish—it’s strategic

• How to know when it’s time to release and reset

• The power of small steps toward lasting change

• Creating space for grace, growth, and new beginnings

• What’s next for Southern Sisters (you’re gonna want in!)

This week on Southern Sisters, we’re diving into what it means to truly prepare for the Savior—not just at Easter, but in the everyday.

Through heartfelt stories and simple family traditions, we explore how to create a Christ-centered Easter that reflects our faith, strengthens our families, and keeps oil in our lamps as we await His return. We reflect on the Parable of the Ten Virgins and how each of us is filling our spiritual lamps in different ways. From the names of Christ that bring us comfort in hard seasons to the creative ways we teach our children about faith, this episode is a beautiful blend of real talk, spiritual insight, and sisterhood. And be sure to stay to the end for a special musical treat—a soul-stirring reminder of the One we celebrate this Easter season. 💡

Takeaways:

The Parable of the Ten Virgins reminds us to stay spiritually ready—no one can borrow your oil.

You’re not alone—community matters in both celebration and sorrow.

Easter traditions can be meaningful and joy-filled.

The names of Christ meet us in every season and every struggle. Faith-centered traditions don’t have to be complicated—they just need heart.

Your family’s version of Easter doesn’t have to match anyone else's.

Hard things can deepen our understanding of the Savior’s love.

Tender mercies are everyday reminders that God is near.

You can teach children faith through simple, creative, hands-on ways.

Focus more on the why than the what when it comes to tradition.

Social media can be a lot—one minute you're connecting with friends, the next you're deep in a scroll hole, wondering how you ended up watching a raccoon making tiny pancakes. 🙃 But in a world of curated feeds, viral trends, and AI-generated everything, how do we keep it real?

In this episode of Southern Sisters, we’re diving into authenticity in the digital age— the fine line between creating and consuming, and why social media should be about real connection, not just pretty pictures and hashtags.

Here’s what we’re unpacking: 💡 Love Languages & Social Media: Because for some of us, sending the perfect meme is the highest form of affection. 😂 💡 Creating vs. Consuming: Are you using social media with purpose or just getting lost in the scroll? 💡 AI & Authenticity: Technology is smart, but it can’t replace real relationships and human connection. 💡 The Pressure to Keep Up: Spoiler alert: You don’t have to post every day, follow every trend, or have a perfectly curated life. 💡 Making an Impact: Your voice matters. Social media can be used to uplift, inspire, and bring people together—when we show up authentically.

So, if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by social media, questioned whether you should even be on it, or just need a reminder that your real life is way more important than your online one—this episode is for you. ✨

Tune in now wherever you get your podcasts! And let’s start putting more heart into our online presence—one real moment at a time.
