Family traditions strengthen family bonds and create a sense of belonging. They also create a sense of predictability which heightens the anticipation of the experience. In creating family traditions we can pass on our cultural heritage as well as our values and our faith. Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherho…

The responses I have gotten are 99% negative about their relationship with their in-law. Why is that? Why are there such issues between two women who love the same ma…

The #1 block for so many women I speak with in attaining joy and fulfillment in their marriage and their motherhood is that they aren’t consistent.

This episode explains why consistency is so i…

Many new parenting styles create an imbalance in the child/parent relationship. When we adopt a parenting style that is child-led and emotion driven, we do a disservice to our children by hyper focusing on how they feel and what they want rather than teaching them how to think and how to feel and express their feelings in an appropriate way while l…

One of the biggest problems we have is that we have "dreams" or "expectations" about how our life, relationships, the behavior of our children, and our home culture should be.

Why did you want to become a mother? I don't think many of us ask ourselves that question. It's just a rite of passage for many.

Self-care has gotten a bad rap, and I think that’s because we’ve blurred the lines of self-care and over-indulgence.

So, let’s look at self-c…
