Homemaker Portrait | Mallori Tinkler

In this episode I am chatting with newbie homemaker, Mallori Tinkler. After working a while as a nurse, Mallori came home full time when her daughter was born. 

We talk about the challenges of going from 2 incomes to 1 and the importance of a budget that both husband and wife can faithfully participate in. 

We discuss unrealistic expectations for postpartum life (based on social media comparison) as well as  our tendency to overcorrect one way or the other with the “Just a homemaker” and “superwoman” mentalities. 

This is a lovely conversation filled with all the usual stories of Mallori’s influences, strengths & weknesses, wins, fails, and favorite resources.
