Does your child’s behavior leave you feeling anxious or powerless?

Many parents find their emotions rising and falling with what their kids are doing.

In this episode, I introduce the idea of self-leadership—learning to manage your own emotions first so you can show up as a steady, confident leader in your home.

We’ll explore how one person’s shift in energy can change an entire relationship, and why leading yourself with calm and faith allows your child to feel safer and more connected.

Instead of reacting out of fear or frustration, you’ll learn how to create a new rhythm of peace and influence in your family.

You don’t have to wait for your child to change before things get better.

Tune in to discover how self-leadership can transform your parenting and open the door to deeper connection.

As Christian parents, we often underestimate just how much our belief—or lack of belief—shapes our child’s life.

In this episode, I share why your opinion of your child is never neutral.

Whether you communicate faith and confidence, or worry and doubt, it becomes part of their self-image.

We’ll unpack five powerful reasons why believing in your child is essential for their mental health, and how it becomes the fuel they need for growth, confidence, and healing.

I’ll also share 10 common ways that we as parents unintentionally don’t believe in our kids, even when we think we’re loving them.

From overprotection, low expectations, or criticizing more than praising, to letting our own fears drive the conversation—these habits quietly plant seeds of self-doubt in our children.

But the good news is, once you recognize them, you can shift into parenting from belief and encouragement, without guilt or shame. Ultimately, believing in your child is more than a mindset—it’s a spiritual practice.

Just as Christ saw Simon as Peter, “the Rock,” before he became it, we too can hold a vision of who our children truly are and can become.

When we choose faith over fear, we mirror God’s love for them, helping them see themselves through His eyes.

Imagine the healing and strength that could unfold in your home if your child knew—without a doubt—that you fully believe in them.

Have you ever tried to push your way into peace—only to find yourself right back in worry and frustration a few days later?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into what I call the Gold Zone—the emotional and spiritual space where God’s love, clarity, and confidence guide your parenting.

When we parent from this place, our energy changes—and our struggling child feels it. I’ll walk you through the difference between parenting from Red Zone emotions like fear and control, and Gold Zone emotions like peace, love, inspiration, and understanding—and why skipping straight from stress to “trying to be happy” rarely works.

You’ll also hear a powerful story of a Christian mom whose heartbreak over her son’s choices unintentionally closed the door to reconnection, and how you can avoid the same.

We’ll explore how real transformation happens not through forcing change, but by surrendering to Christ’s enabling power.

If you’re longing for clarity, deeper love, and true connection with your older child, this episode will show you how to invite miracles into your home by parenting from the Gold Zone.

And if you’re ready to go deeper, I’ll tell you how we can work together to get there—one powerful shift at a time.

Is your desire to be a “good Christian parent” actually hurting your child? In this episode, we’re unpacking the hidden dangers of perfectionism in Christian parenting—and how it may be fueling anxiety, disconnection, and even spiritual confusion in your teen.

We’ll explore how perfectionist parenting styles can create fear-based homes, damage self-worth, and block the very connection you’re trying to build.

You’ll also hear how perfectionism shows up subtly—in our expectations, in our church culture, and even in how we talk to ourselves—and how those patterns can quietly transfer to our children.

You’ll learn why redefining the word “perfect” is one of the most important things you can do as a parent, and how spiritual growth doesn’t come from flawless performance, but from grace, healing, and love.

Whether your child is struggling with depression, anxiety, or emotional distance, this episode will help you see how your own shift away from pressure can open the door to deeper connection.

If you’ve ever wondered why your best efforts still leave your child pulling away—this episode will give you clarity, hope, and a whole new path forward.

Is your child already dreading going back to school—or shutting down before the first bell even rings?

You’ll learn how to prepare your own heart and energy first so you can guide your child with love and calm leadership—even when things get messy.

We’ll talk about the delicate first weeks of school, why pressure backfires, and what your child truly needs.

If you're ready to build trust, model resilience, and stay close through the chaos, this episode will give you clarity and hope for the season ahead.
