311. Create a Home That Works for You, Not Against You | Simplifying Motherhood with Sarah Therése

Simple Farmhouse Life

What if the path to a peaceful home isn’t found in having more and doing more, but in less? In this episode, I’m chatting with Sarah Therese, a young mom of five who shares her journey of creating a peaceful, intentional home in the midst of real family life. We talk about how living with less first shaped her perspective, the simple systems that keep her family of seven running smoothly every day, and how she keeps her heart grounded in motherhood amid all the noise. Join us for an encouraging conversation about rhythms, rest, and building a home that truly serves your family.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Sarah chose to pause her YouTube channel and how stepping back is helping her reset and find peace in her home life

• The hidden work behind filming homemaking content and how to balance authenticity with protecting children’s privacy

• How living as a family of five in a 700-square-foot mobile home first shaped Sarah’s minimalist mindset

• Bringing that same simplicity into a larger home and learning to create coziness through color and visual interest, not clutter

• The difference a minimized wardrobe makes in the ease of starting the day and necessitates greater intentionally in shopping

• Simple systems that keep kids’ clothes organized: grow-in bins, small drawers, and one load of laundry a day

• Why Sarah sees homemaking and motherhood as one calling, and how she invites her children into daily work beside her

• The few kitchen tools she relies on to make everything from scratch without cluttering her counters

• The importance of guarding your heart against comparison in motherhood and being the mom your unique kids need

• Why delegating and asking for help is not a sign of weakness but ultimately serves your family

• The mindset that keeps overwhelm at bay— trusting rhythms, not perfection, to bring peace to the home
