À propos de ce contenu audio

 Welcome to Modern Homemaking, the podcast for those who care deeply about their homes, but sometimes feel overwhelmed by them. If you’re carrying the mental load, managing routines and clutter, navigating expectations, and trying to create calm in the middle of real life, this show is for you. I’m Christy, from The Common Nest, and for over twenty years I’ve been researching, practicing, and supporting others to create happier, healthier homes through a holistic approach. Homemaking is more than cleaning or decorating. It’s about mindset, emotional wellbeing, routines, boundaries, and the invisible systems shaping your daily life. Each week, we explore the mindset, motivation, and practical methods that help you overcome overwhelm and create a home you truly love. From decluttering and routines to seasonal living, decorating. Here we are redefining modern homemaking and looking at the whole picture, because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If you’re ready for home without hustle, calm, clarity, and a space that supports you as much as you support everyone else, you’re in the right place. Your path to a happier, healthier home begins here. Welcome home!Christy from The Common Nest Développement personnel Réussite personnelle

    101 - Welcome to Modern Homemaking: What It Means and Why I’m Reclaiming Homemaker
    Feb 27 2026
    In this episode, we’re opening a brand new chapter. After years of avoiding the word homemaking, I’m finally claiming it, and renaming this show Modern Homemaking.This isn’t just a new title. It’s a shift in clarity, courage, and calling.For a long time, I resisted using the words homemaking and homemaker in my messaging. I worried about stereotypes, misunderstandings, and being reduced to something smaller than the work I actually do. But over time, I realized something important: the very word I was avoiding was the one my audience was searching for.Today, I’m sharing why I changed the name of the podcast, what modern homemaking truly means, and why I believe homemaking matters now more than ever.This episode is for you if you’ve ever:Felt conflicted about the title “homemaker”Wanted to care deeply about home without being boxed into outdated rolesStruggled with how homemaking is perceived in modern cultureFelt called to create a healthier, happier home, but wanted a more thoughtful approachWe’ll explore:Why I avoided the word homemaking for so longThe uncomfortable realization that people couldn’t find my workThe story of my old baking pans, and what they taught me about growth and letting goWhat modern homemaking really means in today’s worldHow the Holistic Home Method supports mindset, routines, decluttering, design, and cyclical livingModern homemaking is not about shrinking yourself. It’s not about perfection or silent sacrifice. It’s about leadership inside your home. It’s about understanding how your space shapes your mental health, your relationships, and your daily life.In a world that feels loud and divided, tending to home with intention is powerful, and more important than ever..Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or you found this podcast by searching for modern homemaking, I’m so glad you’re here.Together, let’s build happier and healthier homes.

I didn’t know who would listen. I didn’t know if I would keep going. I didn’t know how these conversations would shape me.But here we are… 100 conversations about home.Not just cleaning and decluttering and decorating… But mindset. Invisible labor. Mental load. Cultural pressure. Marriage and motherhood. Rest and leadership. Grief, faith, politics and the seasons of life.In this episode, I’m reflecting on what 100 conversations about homemaking have taught me and sharing the ten lessons I’ve learned.I’m also sharing what I deeply wish every homemaker understood about home, their role, and the weight their carrying.This episode is for you if you’ve ever:Felt behind in your homeWondered why homemaking feels heavier than it “should”Struggled with clutter that feels deeper than just stuffFelt exhausted and questioned your capacityCarried invisible labor that no one else seems to noticeWanted to create a peaceful home without burning yourself outNeeded reassurance that you’re not failingWe’ll explore:Why home truly starts withinThe difference between incompetence and overloadWhy clutter is often emotional, not just physicalThe real purpose of routines (hint: it’s not productivity)Why design and beauty are not superficialHow exhaustion distorts everything at homeHomemaking as leadership, not servitude or submissionThe hidden cultural forces shaping your expectationsWhy you cannot pour from an empty cupWhy alignment, and not perfection, is the true goalWhy you are not behindWhy home was never meant to be managed aloneWhy your worth is not measured by productivityWhy tending to yourself is part of tending your homeWhy your current season matters more than you thinkWhether you’ve been here since episode one or you’re just finding the show now, this episode is both a celebration and a closing of a chapter.Here’s to 100 conversations about home and to what’s coming next.Links & Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Love Your Home Coaching: https://www.thecommonnest.com/coachingTake the Holistic Home QUIZ - Free https://www.thecommonnest.com/quizLet’s Connect!If you loved this episode, I’d love to hear from you!
