  • Being Present & Enjoying Halloween Without Fearing Candy
    When the holidays come around we women seem to be bombarded with messages about how to "be good" and "stay on track" during the holiday season.  
     
    Restricting ourselves and labeling foods as "good" or "bad" usually take us down a rollercoaster of restricting--binging--restricting--binging...get off the rollercoaster ladies!  
     
    In this BONUS episode we discuss 3 ways that you've probably allowed restriction to hijack your thoughts from the present moment to focus on not eating the candy and the solution to enjoying candy, trick-or-treating with your kids and making meaningful memories!  
     
    Disclaimer: If you're diabetic or have any other medical condition...only you and your doctor can determine what you do or don't eat.  This is just me sharing my experiences and the experiences of my clients I've worked with in the past.  HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

  • Parenting Without Fear In A Broken World
    How can we tackle parenting without fear in a broken world?
     
    Everywhere we turn there is something we want to shield our children (and ourselves) from!  From the big things like sex trafficking, kidnappings, racial tension, political seperation, violence, and hostility.  To the everyday things like falling off their bike or having their feelings hurt.  
     
    Parenting can be tough and we want to protect our children but we also know we can’t wrap them in bubble tape and shield them from the world.  God calls us to be the salt and the light of the earth.  We aren’t to hide and feel as if the devil has won and evil is everywhere.  We are to walk boldly in faith and remember that God is the King of the world and has overcome it all.  
     
    In this world we WILL have trouble but thankfully…HEAVEN is our home!  
     
    In today’s episode I share a very personal story that I really hesitated to share because it involves my daughter and a situation she witnessed that honestly, I’d rather forget!  
     
    But I believe there is power in sharing our stories and experiences!  We can learn from one another and that is why I decided to share this story and the lessons I learned about walking in faith as a parent!  
     
    I can’t wait for you to hear this episode and would love for you to come share your thoughts with me over on Instagram!  Screen shot the episode or talk about your favorite part and share it to your stories! Don’t forget to tag me: @kristinkotzebue
