You’ll learn about different issues that moms and girls face and how different moms and experts have approached these difficult challenges from a biblical perspective.
You’ll learn how to help your girl move forward with confidence in her Creator, trusting that he made her matchless for a supernatural purpose. And maybe you’ll pick up some tips for yourself along the way, too!

July/August 2021 – “Emotionally Preparing Your Daughter for the New School Year After a Crazy Year”
Moms, we must look at the big picture when it comes to our daughters starting a new school year after the roller coaster year we just had! It’s not as simple as buying her school supplies and a first-day-of-school outfit. Your daughter’s heart is not in the same place it was pre-2020 and chances are, if she was on Zoom all last year, neither are her friendships or academics.
Sit down with me and my friends Noelle and Cathy from Get Up and Teach as we talk about how to emotionally prepare your daughter for a new school year after the craziness of 2020. You’ll gain so many nuggets of wisdom, no matter what age your daughter is! Pick up some free printables for you and your girl while you’re at it. Click here to listen.

Sweet mama, do you put a smile on your face for the world, but inside you struggle with anger, bitterness, or resentment? Do you find yourself blaming others, getting easily ticked off, and yelling?

You’re NOT alone and you don’t have to keep it in the dark. That’s where the enemy wants it: stuffed down, stifled, and not dealt with, like a garbage can full of trash we keep pushing down because we just don’t want to take out.
