In this uplifting conversation, Ginny Yurich sits down with bestselling author and artist Ruth Chou Simons to explore the ideas behind her new book, This Moment Matters: 100 Ways to Cultivate a Grace-Laced Life. Drawing from nearly two decades of motherhood, creativity, faith, and family life, Ruth shares practical ways to embrace limitations, simplify everyday routines, cultivate delight, create a welcoming home, and invest intentionally in the people who matter most.

They discuss everything from protecting unscheduled family time and putting phones away at the table to hospitality, creativity, exercise, and finding beauty in ordinary moments. Ruth also shares how small, consistent choices can help us stop chasing more and become more present to the life already in front of us. It’s an encouraging conversation about grace, intentionality, and remembering that the seemingly ordinary moments of our lives truly matter.
