The MyFriendBritt Podcast

Welcome my good friend, and guest speaker, Christen Wadsworth!In this episode, we chat how homeschooling creates unique academic and personal opportunities that set students up for success—even when it comes to college.We break down the myths surrounding homeschool education and dive into how flexible learning allows students to move at their own pace, pursue passions early, and build standout college applications. From dual enrollment and customized curriculum to real-world experiences and leadership opportunities, homeschoolers often graduate with more than just a diploma—they graduate with direction, confidence, and the ability to take on their own lives successfully.We are also chatting how homeschool students successfully navigate the college admissions process, what universities really think about homeschool applicants, and why many admissions officers value the independence and initiative these students bring.Whether you’re a homeschooling family, considering the switch, or just curious about alternative education paths, this episode will challenge assumptions and highlight how being “ahead of the curve” is more accessible than you might think.How to start homeschooling-full guide | Myfriend__brittany

Sneek Peek of an episode coming soon!!! In this episode, my husband is opening up and sharing his perspective on a topic that’s often uncomfortable—but deeply important: how a godly man is called to stand up for his wife and children when their family unit is being disrupted.Through Scripture and lived experience, we talk about what it truly means to “leave and cleave,” to lead with strength, and to honor parents without allowing dishonor or division in the home God has entrusted to him. This isn’t about harshness, disrespect—it’s about biblical boundaries, spiritual leadership, and protecting the unity of marriage.We discuss the difference between honoring your mother and enabling behavior that harms your wife, your children, and your household. My husband speaks honestly about the responsibility God places on men to guard their families, address conflict with wisdom, and lead with courage—even when it’s hard.This episode is for husbands, wives, and families navigating complicated dynamics with truth and obedience to God’s design for marriage and family.

What if the tension you feel between work, motherhood, and marriage is discernment?In this episode, we talk honestly about the things that so many women carry: the desire to be present with their families while still wanting to contribute, create, and steward something meaningful. We unpack the lie that says we were created only to survive—to pay bills, stay busy, and make it through the week—and replace it with the truth of God’s design for family, work, and purpose.Through a biblical lens, we explore how God never intended work to compete with family, but to serve it. We talk about wisdom in choosing work that aligns with your calling, and why not every job fits every season. We challenge the idea that fulfillment only comes from staying home or grinding endlessly.This conversation is for the woman who feels called to build something meaningful and call it a career. It’s about rejecting survival mode and embracing a life ordered by God—where work has a place, family is center, and purpose is rooted in His design, not the world’s pressure.If you’ve ever wondered, “Is there more than this?”—this episode is for you.

Let’s talk about what no one wants to say out loud. In Part 2 of Biblical Boundaries with Mother-in-Laws, we confront the tension between respecting parents and protecting your marriage and family. Using Scripture—not guilt or tradition—we break down why boundaries are biblical, necessary, and not unloving. This episode challenges unhealthy expectations, people-pleasing, and silent resentment, while pointing you back to God’s design for marriage, unity, and peace. If you’ve ever felt torn between keeping the peace and doing what’s right, this conversation is for you.Brittany| Homeschool| Travel | Holistic Healing| Home Reno (@myfriend__britt) • Instagram photos and videos

In today’s episode, I'm interviewing Mandy and Jeff Marburger for an honest conversation about Christian parenting. We're diving into what it truly means to set a godly example for your children, not through perfection, but through daily habits that reflect Christ. Together, we unpack how Scripture calls parents to lead their homes with intentionality — from the words we speak, to the routines we create, to the way we respond when life tests our patience.We talk about how to set the spiritual tone for your family, how your personal habits quietly shape your household culture, and how small, consistent choices can point your children toward Jesus far more than any long lecture ever will. Mandy and Jeff share real stories, practical wisdom, and the reminder that your kids don’t need a perfect parent — they need a parent who is pursuing God.This episode will bring encouragement that you're not alone. God is with you, and He’s equipping you one day at a time.If you want to follow our socials you can find us at:(2) FacebookMandy Marburger (@mandymarburger) • Instagram photos and videosBrittany| Homeschool| Travel | Holistic Healing| Home Reno (@myfriend__britt) • Instagram photos and videos

In this episode, we dive deep into the misunderstood world of toxic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships—and uncover what God’s Word actually says about navigating the emotional landmines.We explore the biblical role of mothers of sons, the often-overlooked heart posture God calls them to carry, and why holding too tightly can destroy God's plan for family dynamics. We look at the role of a godly daughter-in-law—women called not to perfection, but to humility, respect, and wisdom—and what Scripture says about Husbands, Wives, And Mother in Laws.We dig into the foundation of marriage, the God-designed union that requires leaving, cleaving, and forming a new household. And we confront one of the most misused verses in family conflict: “Honor your father and mother.” What does honor actually mean? Obedience? Blind loyalty? Endless tolerance of toxic behavior? We break down the biblical truth that is rarely taught—and often weaponized.This episode exposes the lies, frees the guilt, and equips you to build boundaries that honor God while protecting your marriage and your peace.If your family is caught in tension—or outright chaos—this is the episode that brings light to the battlefield.(2) FacebookBrittany| Homeschool| Travel | Holistic Healing| Home Reno (@myfriend__britt) • Instagram photos and videosAs promised- Scripture to help walk through conversations. Repeated Gossip or Slander-Scripture: Proverbs 16:28; Ephesians 4:29Belittling or Mocking-Philippians 2:3; Proverbs 11:12 Lying or Deception- Proverbs 12:22; Colossians 3:9Favoritism or Partiality-James 2:1; Romans 2:11Repeated Apologies Without Change-Matthew 7:16 (know them by their fruit)

With God’s guidance and the right support, you can do this — one day, one subject, and one prayer at a time.Tune in, take a deep breath, and be encouraged — you’ve got this, friend. 💛Brittany| Homeschool| Travel | Holistic Healing| Home Reno (@myfriend__britt) • Instagram photos and videosHow-To Start Homeschooling Guide! by @Myfriend__brittany | Stan

What do you do when your favorite video game conflicts with your faith? In this episode, my 15-year-old shares the courageous choice she made to throw away her favorite video game after realizing it was demonic. We talk about integrity, convictions, and what it truly means to live as a Christian in today’s world. She courageously shares her personal experience of realizing that her favorite video game was not in alignment with her faith—and the choice she made to throw it away. Through moments like these, she reflects on standing firm in her beliefs, making decisions that honor God, and navigating life with authenticity and courage. 1 Peter 4:10: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” This conversation is a powerful reminder that living with integrity isn’t just about following rules—it’s about recognizing the gifts God has given us and using them faithfully to serve others, even as a young person in a complex world.How-To Start Homeschooling Guide! by @Myfriend__brittany | StanBrittany| Homeschool| Travel | Holistic Healing| Home Reno (@myfriend__britt) • Instagram photos and videos
