| 11/19/25 |  63 | How Family Traditions Can Build Stronger Bonds This Holiday Season | Holiday traditions — what memories do they spark for you? Was it your grandmother’s famous pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, Christmas caroling with your family, matching jammies on Christmas Eve, driving around to see lights, or the candlelight service at church?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing some of my favorite holiday traditions from my own family and the ones we’ve carried forward with our children.

| 11/5/25 | 61 | November is National Adoption Month. How I’m Holding Space as an Adoptive Mom | November is National Adoption Month, a time to raise awareness for children still waiting for families and to honor the stories of those already formed through adoption. But as adoptive moms, this month can stir up a lot of mixed emotions — gratitude, grief, and everything in between. In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m holding space for both the beautiful and the broken parts of my kids’ stories — and how you can, too. From the history behind National Adoption Month to the sacred, everyday work of being your child’s safe place, we’ll reflect on what this season really means for those living adoption from the inside out.

In this episode, I walk you through what it looks like to share your child’s adoption story with honesty, discernment, and most importantly, God’s leading. If you’ve ever second-guessed your words or worried about “getting it wrong” when sharing your child’s story with them, this one’s for you. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ LIVE workshop registration link HERE!

| 9/24/25 | 56 | Drowning in Screen Time Struggles? Try this Simple Teacher Hack | Are you drowning in screen time struggles with your kids? After a long, hot summer where screens slowly shifted from an ‘extra’ to the default, I knew it was time to try something different. I came across a simple reward system from a first grade teacher, and it’s been a game-changer for our family. As moms, we know too much screen time can impact our children’s brains, development, and attention spans. And as adoptive moms, we often feel an added responsibility to guide our kids toward becoming confident, balanced, and well-rounded little humans. While not all screen time is bad—and not every reward system will fit every family—I hope this episode encourages you to take an honest look at the role screens play in your home. If something feels ‘off,’ I pray that you feel equipped and empowered to make small changes that bring more balance to your family. Articles referenced from PubMed here and here.

| 8/29/25 | 53 | Parenting from Fear? Embrace Your Adopted Child in the Present and Trust God with Their Future | “I just want to know that my child is going to be okay.” If you’ve ever whispered those words, you’re not alone. As adoptive moms, our deepest desire is for our children to feel fully known, fully loved, secure in their identity, and at peace with their story. But sometimes, fear of the future sneaks in and quietly begins shaping the way we parent. In this episode, we’re unpacking: Why fear-based parenting shows up so often for adoptive moms How fears about birth family history, not being “enough,” or our child feeling different can shift how we show up The impact this has on our kids (and on us!) A better way forward—parenting from presence, connection, and trust in God What if instead of trying to control outcomes, we could meet our child right where they are today? What if we could release the fear and surrender their future to the God who already chose us to be their parent? Let's keep this conversation going!

| 7/30/25 | 50 | Family Movies and Trauma: What Adoptive Parents Need to Know Before Pressing Play | Summer is a great time for snuggling up and watching family movies together.

On today’s episode, we’re talking about a handful of family-friendly movies with foster and adoption themes AND potential triggers that I want you moms to be in-the-know about as you consider watching them with your kids. **We’re celebrating the podcast’s ONE YEAR anniversary with a giveaway!
