Finding Calm in the Chaos

Feel Your Emotions

I think it's high time that we all stop beating ourselves up over reacting to our emotional overloads and start allowing ourselves to actual FEEL them and acknowledge where they are coming from so that we can attempt to reduce them in the future.

Anxiety, Anger & Grief

I've been upgraded to a first class seat on the struggle bus but I'm not sweating it. I'm putting up partitions and I'm going to address only what can lead me to putting it all aside...maintaining it rather than IT controlling me. I'm sharing tips from my expensive therapist AND giving it to God. Beep-beep...let's go!

I Got Nothing

Between you and me, I currently have a first class ticket on the struggle bus...BUT, I'm not discouraged. I'm walking into this year locked and loaded and ready to conquer it all with a smile on my face. I'm confronting it head on and I'm not ashamed I'm carrying more than my share of stress right now. I SEE YOU. Let's do this together.

Write It On Their Hearts

I had an unfortunate situation with another parent who refused to accept their child's responsibility for an incident. Why do some people dismiss the idea that their children can often times be the cause or contributor to childhood disagreements?
It's truly a disservice to our children to ignore these behaviors. 
I had a HUGE teaching moment and was able to identify some red flags and walk away from a family that exhibited toxic behavior. 
In this episode, I'll review how I handled a sticky situation using the guidelines from a wonderful book called "Write It On Their Hearts" by Chris and Melissa Swain.
It's okay to deny our children things. It's necessary to discipline them accordingly. Most importantly, it's crucial to disciple them in the ways of Jesus to create trusting relationships that build good humans.

Personal Growth & Puppies!

Buster is in the Sith house!!! A puppy is a huge change for a household...essentially you now have a new baby, albeit furry baby. We've prepped, baby proofed and are ready for tons of new adventures with our new family addition. 
A puppy is a LOT of work and I'm sure no one is surprised that I'm doing most of the work. *insert laugh and eyeroll emoji here* They bring laughter, joy, smiles and lots of chaos. This episode I talk about how I'm truly finding calm in my chaos and how my personal growth just amped up to the next level with a big fluffy puppy.

Holding Ground

Big breakthrough this Thanksgiving and I'm ready to share it! The sad reality is...many people have similar situations during holidays and family events, yet the only thing you see on social media is that perfect family picture of everyone smiling at the table filled with an extravagant spread of food. 
I'm not just lecturing on boundaries...and in this episode you're going to hear first hand that I'm LIVING through these life trials. You're not alone.
