#27. When Your Child’s Behavior Triggers You: What’s Really Going On

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.
If today’s episode stirred something in you and you’d like personalized support walking through your triggers with grace and clarity, I’d love to come alongside you. You can book a one-hour parenting support session with me HERE.
You’re not alone—and healing is possible, one gentle step at a time. 💛

#26. Gentle Parenting 101: The Basics and How to Stay Kind, Even When You’re Tired

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. 💛

#25. Help! My Kid Is a Bully — Parenting Tip Tuesday

Watching your child hurt another child can stir up so much fear and shame in our hearts. We worry about who they’re becoming and wonder where we went wrong.In this Parenting Tip Tuesday episode, I want to gently remind you that challenging behavior is not a character flaw—it’s communication.
In today’s episode, I walk you through how I approach moments when a child is picking on others (or being picked on) with curiosity instead of panic or punishment. We’ll explore what may be going on beneath the surface, what your child might be feeling or needing but doesn’t yet have words for, and how we can support them in learning healthier, more connecting skills over time.
We talk about:
Why bullying behavior often comes from fear, insecurity, or unmet needs
How to meet your child’s heart, mind, and body needs without shame
Simple ways to build empathy and perspective-taking
Why learning to ask—and receive a “no”—is such an important life skill
How to hold compassion for your child while teaching better tools
Above all, I want you to walk away knowing this:Your child is doing the best they can with the tools they have—and so are you. Their struggles do not make them a bad kid, and they do not make you a bad mom.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to support your child in these moments, I would love to walk alongside you. You can book a one-hour parenting support call with me where we’ll talk through your unique situation and create a gentle, practical plan that fits your child and your family.
