Often God uses our pain as a way to grow us. 2022/23 have been extremely humbling years for me. The hardest mentally I have walked through, yet, I am eternally grateful for the REFINING these years have brought.  After feeling my dreams were over, God quietly breathed NEW ones onto my heart. I want to share the WHY behind, SPARK of the Valley!  Tune into episode 188 of the THINKING LIKE A BOSS podcast to hear about this new dream that’s been birthed and how to come alongside me to be a part of it locally!

Thinking Like A Boss Podcast

Have you ever been in a season where you felt your dreams were dead? When my last book DRAWING THE LINE (my boundary book—buy it!) launched spring of ‘22, we were in an excruciating painful season with my middle daughter. I had no other choice but to lay my business down in order to keep my sanity and be present for her healing.  For over a year I would tell myself DAILY (often many times throughout one day) that my dreams were OVER. Because I continually said it, I began to believe it, and in time act as if it were.  I know, I know 🤦🏻‍♀️I knew better! But I was in...

Thinking Like A Boss Podcast

This marks ONE YEAR of homeschooling. I’ve had many reflections and clarity the last couple of weeks that might be helpful to any of you who feel lost or are making decisions out of FEAR. I’m not proud, but similar to my first year of BUSINESS, decisions in my first year of homeschool were mostly made out of fear. 🙀 will my kids be socialized enough? So to make up for this insecurity, let’s sign them up for every co op we can find🤦🏻‍♀️ 🙀will Charlie be more triggered to scratch at home if bored? Let’s overbook ourselves so she is so utterly distracted and exhausted...

I’m back friends! I figured I owed you an update on our eczema journey. It’s almost been a year since I recorded a 6-part series on healing our sweet girl from TSW, topical steroid withdrawal. Make sure if you haven’t listened yet, to go back to those episodes as they are a wealth of knowledge!  This episode, I share how we reintroduced gluten and dairy back into Charlies diet. I also share about our scare with baby Drew that ended up not being eczema after all. This is a very important episode to listen to if you or someone you know has eczema as many health conditions can very...

Hey friends, its been almost a YEAR since I've recorded.      Thankfully, we have had a lot of healing in our family throughout this time.

Thinking Like A Boss Podcast

Four years ago today, I was at the cusp of a brand new adventure. As I rocked my one year old to sleep, I wanted to pause the time knowing life was about to change very soon. With her little legs upon my belly, I could also feel the faint kicks of our new baby inside my womb. Along with a growing baby, I had growing dreams that I couldn’t seem to tame in that moment. We were about to move in with our parents as our first home had sold and we were gut renovating our new house. Not sure what we were thinking 🤣 At that time I felt strongly in my spirit that I would have a publisher come...

This marks ONE YEAR of homeschooling. I’ve had many reflections and clarity the last couple of weeks that might be helpful to any of you who feel lost or are making decisions out of FEAR.

I’m not proud, but similar to my first year of BUSINESS, decisions in my first year of homeschool were mostly made out of fear.
🙀 will my kids be socialized enough? So to make up for this insecurity, let’s sign them up for every co op we can find🤦🏻‍♀️
🙀will Charlie be more triggered to scratch at home if bored? Let’s overbook ourselves so she is so utterly distracted and exhausted she won’t think to scratch.
🙀let’s make homeschool JUST like school. This lead to unnecessary pressure for me to get everything perfect.
🙀let’s let kids be kids and we’ll figure it out together. At least in our home, this didn’t work. Our kids need BOUNDARIES and to know mom and dad are the ones in charge. This provides SAFETY for my kids.

Just a reminder….I’m still only one year in (but do tend to learn life lessons at an accelerated process so wanted to share my reflections).

I knew just a few months in that what we were doing was NOT working, but I was afraid to admit it to my kids, my husband, and others, so I rolled with it. Until during the holiday break it began to feel smothering knowing we’d need to get back to the grind. I was afraid to admit it to anyone, especially letting my kids down. But what I realized was that as parents we need to model REAL LIFE for our kids. To show them that when things are no longer in alignment, we need to step away. That it’s okay to have commitments, friends, and experiences that work in one season and in the next, feel OUTGROWN.

The reason we homeschool is to NOT conform to this world, to live differently than others. I felt freedom when it clicked that my kids are RESILIENT and that we need to model to them that in life you will continually outgrow circumstances. And you will ALWAYS have the power to PIVOT.
