Be Right There Podcast
Hey Mama, I’m happy you’re here! :) Are you feeling overstimulated? Do you love being a mama to your precious littles, but the never-ending cycle of cooking, cleaning, and crying is wearing you down? Are you struggling to spend time with the Lord and grow in your faith while managing the chaos of life? Are you tired of trying to keep up with all the momfluencers you see online, always swiping up for links, programs, and tips that promise to make your life better? Maybe you find yourself thinking, “I’ll be right there!”—I’ll lose those 15 lbs! I’ll manage my home perfectly! I’ll start working out regularly and eating healthily! “I’ll be right there!” all while looking around and feeling like you’re being left in the dust by all the mamas you see around you actually “doing it.” Well, ME TOO. Hi, I’m Sunni Raitz, mom of 2 and self-proclaimed self-improvement addict. My friends have dubbed me the “go-to girl” for all things information. Want to know random facts about baby-led weaning, home decor, or the benefits of grounding??? I got you. I’ve listened to hours of podcasts, read countless blogs, taken online courses, and more, but even with all this information, I’ve STRUGGLED to find peace and contentment. Until the Lord told me, “Sunni, just BE RIGHT THERE. Take life one day at a time. SIT and LISTEN before you GO and DO.” In this podcast, we will go on a journey together (I’m in the middle with you) to learn how to slow down and “Be Right There” today. We will find ways to connect with the Lord in the chaos, create simple, healthy homes, and change our mindset of perfection and striving. The mission of this podcast is to encourage YOU. I want to be a friend you can turn to who fills you up and gives you a heavenly perspective on how to steward your heart and home. I will share practical tips, resources, and ideas that will not bog you down but build you up. I’m creating this because I need it! I want us to discover where true contentment comes from and how to achieve it in our hearts and homes. If you’re ready to Be Right There and learn to steward your heart and home, you’re in the right place. Grab your headphones, start the dishes, and tune in!

In this episode, I sit down with my best friend, Madison, who just had her second baby, to talk about what this shift has really been like.
