    What Role Does Someone Play In Your Childhood Story? | Episode 135

    Pretty much everyone I have met has a childhood story, good or bad.  When you can understand the story as a whole, then you can start digging into the deeper parts. Do you tend to blame one person? These are some of the things to think about if you want to start doing deep work. I made one specific person the ‘villain’, until I started learning through my newest schooling that there is more to the story. One of the thrills of becoming a trauma-informed coach is being able to work with clients and really get to the heart of the things that were keeping them stuck, and almost every time it’s your childhood story. But who is in that story? And is it one person, or many? Come journey with me to discover how to dig through it to begin the healing process. My book, ‘UnMothered No More’ is now live on Amazon!

    Did You Grow Up In A Divorced Family? | Episode 134

    Do you have a strong opinion on divorce?  Once again, we see another well known speaker/author come out to say he has been having an affair (although I would say it’s a second life at this point). Now the question for his wife becomes, “Should I divorce him?”  At this point, their kids are all grown, but it got me thinking about what you would do if you were in this situation with small kids and your faith is such that it mourns divorce so badly.  Does it come from your childhood or a religious belief? We all want to judge, but let's talk about why this is and how we can be more compassionate, not cruel. My book, ‘UnMothered No More’ is now live on Amazon!

    Should You Feel Guilty for Setting Boundaries? | Episode 133

    A new opinion is going around lately that having boundaries is selfish and cruel.  Even celebrity kids are getting scrutiny for trying to set boundaries around their famous parents (yes, I’m talking about The Beckhams in this episode!).  Where do we draw the line, and how do we quiet the noise so we can create our own healthy families?

    A Look Into Mother’s Day From a New Mom | Episode 132

    Let’s get real about what motherhood entails. It can be the most important time in a woman's life, but it can also be the most confusing time. I wanted to get my youngest, Dominique’s, opinion since she is a new mom this year! What can be a beautiful time can also be the hardest time in a woman’s life. You add to that anyone out there that is “Unmothered” either by a toxic mom or if your mom has passed, this can lead to some really emotional times. Let’s get into the basics of what it takes to become a new mom, and then maybe dive deeper into what it actually feels like with the support and without the support.

    Do You Mourn Your Past or Do You Champion Who You Are Today? | Episode 131

    Do you ever look back at the younger you and feel sadness?  Are you afraid to make changes now because it is comfortable staying in this place, even though it makes you mourn what could have been? The journey to start changing some of the habits and hurts in which you came from can be tricky. Some of those old ways are easy on some level, and changing everything around can spin your head!  Don’t be afraid of change! Let’s explore what happens when you start the process of getting into a healthy place but wonder if it’s too hard or too scary with the “unknowns”.  P.S. It’s okay to cry over things that didn’t work out.  My book, UnMothered No More, is now live on Amazon!

    How To Become Confident In Your Own Life | Episode 130

    As we start the new year, I think this is an interesting topic to talk about. What kind of rooms do you want to be a part of? What is your worth? Where do you want to shine? Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about being sure to surround yourself with a few good people you can trust, and also knowing which circles to be in. It is really about knowing your worth and being confident (sometimes for the first time) and not looking for outside affirmation.  This is sometimes hard when you haven’t been shown self-esteem or confidence in yourself.  I think we can agree that God is the only one who can help you feel your best as He walks with you to show you what true “self-confidence” looks like, but let's explore how we can get there on our own.
