Play Pause

6d ago12:24

12:24

The death of Charlie Kirk has caused many to stop and ask themselves, "How am I living my life?" What is your mission from God? How are you living it? As St. Josemaria Escriva said in point #1 of "The Way", "“Don’t let your life be sterile. Be useful. Blaze a trail. Shine forth with the light of your faith and of your love."

What Your Children Probably Won't Learn in School 10:07

1M ago10:07

10:07

As a former teacher and former homeschooler, I LOVE this time of year! Back to school means new notebooks, new uniforms, new challenges, and new joys.

Many of you know that I was an elementary school teacher. I have taught every grade in public and private schools, and I homeschooled our 7 children.

Crayons, glue sticks, notebooks, pencil box, markers,…

Helping Your Child Have a Good Self-Image [REPLAY] 22:51

2M ago22:51

22:51

What is self-image? How your child sees themselves and how they think others see them – what they think about themselves and what they tell themselves about what and who they are. A child with a poor self-image will often have low self-esteem. Low self-esteem is when a child lacks confidence about who they are and what they can do. A poor self-imag…

How to Create a Family Culture [REPLAY] 18:34

2M ago18:34

18:34

There’s a basic human need of belonging that everyone possesses. A family culture gives that "sense of belonging" to each child. It is the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterize your family. It is the foundation of your family. A family culture doesn’t take away the individuality of people within the family, it simp…

22:24

So, let’s let’s go through some reasons why being a mom is hard.

Baby Joy That Lasts 10:03

3M ago10:03

10:03

The difficult, the monotony, the repetition is the sacrifice of motherhood. But it is ALWAYS in the sacrifice that we end up finding joy – if we’re looking for it. It’s when we sacrifice for another out of love, that we become a better person. We have a God-given mission as mothers – and as dads for those men listening. We are in partnership with G…

16:54

Do you also struggle with trying to control? Do you try to control your husband so you'll have a happier marriage? Do you try to control your children's misbehavior with punishments and consequences rather than teaching them how to behave? Here’s the truth - We can't control others – not our husband and not our children - but we can always control …

How to Handle Backtalk from Your Child 19:31

4M ago19:31

19:31

It’s when a child responds to authority, usually a parent, in a rude, defiant, or disrespectful way. Now, back talk isn’t always about rebellion. It often comes from frustration, a need for control, or emotional overwhelm. And while it’s frustrating, it’s important to understand that it’s developmentally normal. Kids, especially early teens and tee…

Without a clear destination with anything we do, our chances of a successful outcome is really limited. It's no different with parenting. As a parent, what’s the destination for your children?

How to Develop Real Self-Confidence 11:30

6M ago11:30

11:30

Self-confidence isn’t arrogance. It’s not pretending to have it all together. It’s not thinking you're better than other people. In fact, most people who exhibit that brand of self-confidence are actually over-compensating for their lack of confidence. Real self-confidence is a quiet, steady belief in yourself. It’s knowing you can handle what life…

Love Him First 9:14

Many years ago I heard a quote by St. Josemaria that spoke about how we should love our husband as our first, most precious child.

In my marriage course, "Foundations of a Happy Marriage", I teach you how …

Are You Contributing to Your Marriage Issues? 10:37

7M ago10:37

10:37

It's so easy to find faults in our spouse and blame them for any and all our marriage issues. But, the truth is, we each have strengths and weaknesses that we bring to the marriage. Rather than blaming our spouse for our troubles, let's look (bravely) at where we contribute to our marriage issues. Once we see where we contribute, we can begin to ma…

Faith & Family - What is God Asking of You? 16:52

We get so busy in our lives that we forget we're here to do God's will. We should periodically ask ourselves, "What is God asking of me?"

Finding Peace in the Chaos of Family Life 11:38

10M ago11:38

11:38

And in learning how to nurture my interior life, I learned how to find peace – peace when life and relationships were good and peace when chaos was the order of the day. In the Gospel of Matthew we read, "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” I wasn’t going to God – I was carrying all the labor and burden of my …

Teaching Your Children Moderation 28:57

28:57

We need to teach our children to have clear values of what’s really important in life and satisfying their desires all the time is not it. We need to help our children see that we’re not here in this world to think constantly about what will make us happy and satisfy all our whims. Let’s teach our kids that things of the world are here to enhance o…

Living in Gratitude 10:13

The mind finds what it seeks. When we’re focused on all the contradictions or negative parts of our life it is impossible to feel joy. But when we’re focused on all that we’re thankful for, our heart softens, and we can find the joy. Living in gratitude is a habit to embrace. It’s not just one day on Thanksgiving or when special happy events happen…

Essential Skills for a Better Mother-in-law / Daughter-in-Law Relationship 19:00

Through the years, I have coached, interviewed, and reached out to people to ask for their experiences with their daughter-in-law or mother-in-law and, quite frankly, it makes me sad. 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…

How Consistency Transforms Motherhood 20:27

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.

The Essential Elements of Parenting 20:01

Many new parenting styles create an imbalance in the child/parent relationship.
