    #33. You Are Loved: Regulating Your Heart in the Chaos of Motherhood

    In the middle of motherhood—the noise, the needs, the constant giving—it can be easy to lose sight of love. Not just how deeply we love our children… but how deeply we are loved. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, touched out, reactive, or unsure of yourself lately, this episode is a gentle reminder for your heart. God’s love for you has not changed. You are not defined by your mistakes, your impatience, or your hardest parenting moments. You are defined by His everlasting love. In today’s episode, I share a tender reflection on what it means to be loved by God as His daughter—and how remembering that love transforms the way we see ourselves and our children.  If you’re longing for more peace in your parenting and a deeper sense of being anchored in God’s love, this conversation is for you.

    #32. Listening Beyond the Labels: Seeing Your Child Through God’s Eyes

    What if the way we listen to our children could transform how we see them? In this episode, we slow down and explore what it means to listen beyond labels and tune into the heart of our child. Through a simple children’s story and a faith-filled reflection, we talk about how labels—spoken over us or silently held—can shape identity, distort connection, and limit our ability to see our children through God’s eyes. Together, we reflect on Scripture, the healing heart of Jesus, and the invitation to believe the best—about ourselves and about our kids. This episode is an encouragement for any parent longing to practice gentle parenting rooted in love, grace, and active listening. If you’ve ever felt stuck in old narratives or found yourself reacting from labels instead of curiosity, this episode is a gentle reminder: our children are deeply loved, fully known, and accepted into the Beloved—and so are we. ✨ Join me for a live Peaceful Parenting Workshop! ✨ Register HERE to join my free, live group coaching call on Tuesday, March 3rd at 10 a.m. CST.

    #31. In the Trenches of Motherhood: How to Find Calm When You’re Overwhelmed

    Motherhood can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re carrying the weight of nonstop needs, emotional exhaustion, and very little space to rest. In this episode, I’m sharing a tender, real-life moment from my own home that brought me face-to-face with overwhelm—and with the quiet stories my brain was telling me in that moment. We’ll talk about how our nervous systems respond to stress, how something called confirmation bias can reinforce beliefs like “I’m not enough,” and why that doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. We’ll explore how to meet overwhelm with compassion instead of criticism, how to invite Jesus into the moments that feel too heavy, and how self-care doesn’t have to be elaborate to be deeply healing. If you’re longing for more peace, understanding, and grace—for yourself and your children—this episode is for you. ✨ Join me for a live Peaceful Parenting Workshop! ✨ Register HERE to join my free, live group coaching call on Tuesday, March 3rd at 10 a.m. CST.

    #30. Conflict Resolution for Kids: Teaching Relationship Skills That Last | Parenting Tip Tuesday

    What if conflict wasn’t something to fear—but an opportunity to teach lifelong skills? In this Parenting Tip Tuesday episode, I’m sharing how we can gently guide our children through conflict resolution in developmentally appropriate ways—without yelling, shaming, or expecting maturity before they’re ready. Through a sweet bedtime story from my own home and a simple four-step framework, we’ll talk about how to step in early, support big feelings, hold loving boundaries, and guide meaningful repair. Conflict resolution is not about quick fixes. It’s about presence, patience, and teaching skills that help our children build deep, lasting relationships—with siblings, friends, and eventually co-workers and spouses. ✨ In this episode, you’ll learn: Why emotional regulation must come before problem-solving How naming feelings reduces yelling, hitting, and shutdown How to hold clear boundaries while staying connected Why repair—not punishment—is where real learning happens 🎵 Songs mentioned in this episode (perfect for young kids!): →  Big Feelings – Emotional Regulation Song by Tawnee Kendall Kids → The Feelings Song by Hopscotch → The Boundaries Song by Hopscotch → Everybody Makes Mistakes by Hopscotch  🤍 Want continued encouragement and parenting support along with other Christian mamas in the same journey?

    #29. Christian Parenting Beyond Disobedience: What Power Struggles Reveal About Connection

    When our children say “no,” push back, or ignore our requests, it’s easy to label their behavior as disobedience. But what if disobedience is actually an invitation to deeper connection? In this episode, I share a real-life parenting moment with my five-year-old and explore how defiance often reveals a deeper need for connection, autonomy, and empowerment. Together, we’ll look at how shifting from control to curiosity can transform power struggles into teamwork—and help our children feel seen, capable, and respected.

    #27. Regulating Your Heart in Parenting: What to Do When You Feel Triggered

    Have you ever felt your child’s behavior spark a reaction that feels bigger than the moment itself? In this episode, I explore what’s really happening beneath our triggers and how our own stories, nervous systems, and past experiences often shape our reactions more than we realize. Together, we’ll talk about understanding your body’s stress signals, breaking generational patterns of reactivity, and finding calm through curiosity, compassion, and God’s healing presence.

    #26. Christian Parenting 101: Staying Kind and Calm When You’re Exhausted

    Parenting peacefully can feel especially hard when I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, or triggered by my child’s behavior. If you’ve ever found yourself snapping or wondering, “Why is this so hard for me?”, you’re not alone. In this episode, I slow down and return to the heart of gentle parenting through a faith-filled lens. I share a sweet story with my daughter and reflect on the truth that while we grow tired and reactive, God never does. And His way of leading us offers a beautiful blueprint for guiding our children with kindness and connection. Using Psalm 23, I walk through what gentle, biblical parenting looks like—rooted in safety, soothing, being seen, and support—and address the question of whether gentle parenting aligns with Scripture. This episode is for the mama who longs to stay kind even when she’s tired and who wants to parent from connection rather than control. In this episode, I share: Why exhaustion makes gentle parenting feel harder How Psalm 23 models God’s leadership through safety and support What biblical discipline looks like when rooted in relationship How to respond to big emotions without losing yourself A reminder for your heart: You are deeply seen by God. You are not failing because this feels hard. Even on the days you mess up, you are still the mama He delights in. If you’d like support along the way, I offer one-hour parenting support sessions via Zoom. You can book your session HERE. You don’t have to do this alone. 💛
