About this episode

This episode discusses how to love your children and spouse in a way they understand, focusing on the 5 Love Languages.

Adoptive mama, bio mama, foster mama? This is for all mamas and wives! We're talking about L-O-V-E, how we show it and how we receive it. We all love our kids — but are we loving them in a way they actually understand? In this Valentine’s-season episode, we talk about the 5 Love Languages and how they show up in real family life with your kids and your spouse. From quality time and words of affirmation to acts of service, gifts, and physical touch, you’ll learn how to notice what fills your child’s heart instead of just giving love the way you prefer to give it. If connection feels off, distant, or confusing right now, this episode will help you reset, slow down, and start speaking love in a language your family can truly receive. If you’re craving community with other adoptive moms who truly get it, join the waitlist for The Adoptive Mom Circle. It’s a faith-based space for encouragement, coaching, prayer, and honest conversation — like sitting around a table with coffee and women who see your story. 👉 Join the waitlist here Or go to bit.ly/AMLcircle You were never meant to do adoption alone.
