In this episode of The Encourager, I’m opening up about my “messy middle”—a season of business that’s been unexpectedly challenging, even after 20 years in the game. Join me as I share what this season looks like, what I’m doing to keep things basic and manageable, and how focusing on the next 60 days has brought clarity and peace.

I dive into the essentials I’ve returned to, from blocking out time intentionally to revisiting the “why” behind my work. I also discuss the visual tools that help me stay on track: a refreshed vision board, a habit tracker for consistency, and our weekly Honey Huddle meetings that help Nick and me stay aligned.

Key Takeaways:

  • Returning to Basics: Reassessing priorities and going back to foundational work habits.

  • Visual Tools for Consistency: Using a vision board, habit tracker, and Honey Huddle for clarity.

  • Focusing on Short-Term Goals: Setting sights on the next 60 days to create momentum without feeling overwhelmed.

Whether you’re in a messy middle or just need a reset, this episode offers encouragement to keep moving forward, one manageable step at a time.

Hello! I am Rebekah Scott, a wife, mother of four, podcaster, coach, author, and designer. I live to serve my roles dutifully while managing what God has seen me fit to handle! We farm and ranch in South Dakota, and I can often be caught sewing, writing, or taxing kiddos to activities.

The Encourager Podcast is my way of sharing everything I have learned in my 15+ years of growing a family and a business side by side. I enjoy encouraging women, offering advice for harmonizing roles, and creating systems for working in the home, all while keeping it real!
