On this episode hosts Holly Newton and Dina Deleasa-Gonsar chatted with Courtney DeFeo, author and podcast host of Pardon the Mess.

Courtney DeFeo is a Southern girl who loves Jesus and lives to help families shine His light in everyday life. Born and raised near Atlanta, Georgia and a proud Auburn University alum, Courtney has called several places home—including Orlando, Florida (where she basically lived at the Magic Kingdom) and now Colleyville, Texas. Georgia and South Carolina still hold a special place in her heart, as that's where her family roots run deep.

Jesus has completely changed Courtney’s life, and now she’s on a mission to encourage other moms through the real, beautiful, and sometimes messy journey of faith and parenting. Whether she’s sharing practical tools, creative ideas for teaching kids about Jesus, or honest encouragement for weary moms, Courtney is all about helping families grow in faith and live with joy.

She’s passionate about finding fun and meaningful ways to put love into action and connecting women with resources that make parenting a little easier—and a lot more grace-filled.
