The Happy Family Coach

Six days in London with my daughter… memories we’ll never forget. 🇬🇧💛

But the truth? There have been so many moments in my parenting journey where I’ve felt unequipped and “not enough.”

God keeps reminding me — He doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called. And He equips us as we walk with Him.

Episode 68 of The Happy Family Coach Podcast is for every parent who’s ever wondered if they were doing it right. 🎙

What if the person you’re blaming… is actually the mirror God is using to heal you?

For years, I thought the problem was him—his tone, his withholding of love, his rejection.
But I had no idea that I was carrying a plank of pride, pain, and fear…
And I didn’t know that Jesus wanted to set me free first.

In Episode 69 (coming this Wednesday), I’m sharing the part of my story I used to be ashamed of—and how Matthew 7:1–5, biblical counseling, and The Peacemaker by Ken Sande completely reshaped how I see conflict, ownership, and healing.

💔 If you’ve been hurt, stuck, judged, or judgmental… this one’s for you.

This is heart surgery. But it leads to real freedom.

💬 “Why would God choose me to lead this family?”
If you’ve ever asked that question through tears, exhaustion, or doubt—this is for you.

Jesus didn’t choose perfect people to carry His mission. He chose the messy ones. The impulsive, insecure, overlooked, and underestimated. And He still does.

You don’t need to be the most qualified parent—you just need to be the one who’s willing to show up, pray, and trust God with your child’s story.

📣 New Episode Drops Wednesday!

What if Jesus is asking you the same question He asked the man at the pool of Bethesda?

“Do you want to get well?”

Not just physically.
But emotionally. Spiritually. Generationally.

In this episode, I share one of the most vulnerable stories from my life—when I had no job, no money, no electricity, and two little ones to feed… and the healing God did in me before He ever changed my circumstances.

If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, clinging to pride, shame, or self-reliance… this one is for you.

🎧 Episode 74: Do You Want to Get Well? Confronting the Comfort of Brokenness with Jesus at Bethesda.
Let’s be a people who break free from emotional paralysis and generational patterns!

💭 Were you the responsible one in your family? The fixer? The rebel? The black sheep? The invisible one? The mediator? The mascot or clown (you know, the funny one who was a good distraction when the dysfunction happened)?

The roles we took on as kids may have helped us survive…
But they were never meant to define us.

This week’s episode of The Happy Family Coach Podcast is a deep dive into the labels we carry—and how they shape our identity, our relationships, and the legacy we pass on.

🎙️ Real-life scenarios
📖 Biblical truth
🧠 Core belief transformation
💔 Inner child healing
💡 And an invitation to finally let go of the role you were never meant to carry.

👉 Tune in this Wednesday, July 16, for Episode 66: “The Labels We Carry: How Childhood Roles Shape Adult Identity.”
Save it. Share it. Invite a friend who’s ready to heal.

Have you ever been told you’re too much?
Too emotional. Too intense. Too loud. Too sensitive.
So you shrank. You quieted your voice. You tried to fit in.

But what if those parts of you were never a problem—just misplaced strength waiting to be refined by the Spirit?

🎙️ In this week’s new episode, I’m sharing why we stop apologizing, start renaming the lies, and walk in the bold, beautiful design God gave us.
It’s time to stop hiding and start healing.

💥 New episode drops Wednesday… but I need to ask you something first:

Have you ever been praised for being strong—while secretly falling apart?

In this week’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the lies we call strength. The ones that keep us stuck in self-reliance, emotional suppression, and burnout… all while our kids silently absorb it.

👉 Are you a mom who over-functions because you’re afraid of what will happen if you stop?
👉 A dad who was taught to “man up” and keep emotions locked away?
👉 Or a cycle-breaker who’s tired of being the rock for everyone?

You’re not alone.
And you don’t have to carry it all.

✨✨ You’ve been called “strong” for holding it all together… but what if that strength is slowly breaking you?

You show up. You serve. You pray.
But deep down, you’re tired of pretending you’re okay.
You wonder if anyone sees how much you’re carrying.
And you’re starting to realize: this version of “strength” isn’t sustainable.

This Wednesday’s episode is for the woman who’s been praised for her strength—but longs for rest, softness, and sacred surrender.
We’re pulling back the curtain on the myth of the strong Christian woman—and talking about the kind of strength that’s clothed by the Spirit, not built by burnout.

🧠💔🌎 What do you do when the world is louder than your voice at home?

Your child comes home asking hard questions about politics, gender, justice, or faith—and you freeze.
Not because you don’t care… but because the culture is complex, and you want to get it right.

You don’t want to raise a passive child who blindly agrees.
But you also don’t want to raise a prideful one who loudly condemns.

You want them to think like Jesus.
Love like Jesus.
Live like Jesus.

🎙️ This Wednesday, I’m sharing one of the most important episodes I’ve ever recorded.

It’s real. It’s practical. It’s rooted in scripture, Spirit, and grace.
And it will help you disciple your kids through confusion—without losing your peace, your purpose, or your witness.

🔥 This one’s not for the faint of heart.
New episode drops Wednesday… and I’ve never spoken this boldly before.

Have you felt it?
👉 The pressure to pick a side.
👉 The outrage in your newsfeed.
👉 The silence at the dinner table when politics come up.
👉 The tension in church when love and truth feel at war.

As believers, we’re called to look different—but so many of us are just blending in with the blame, the bullying, the noise.

This episode is for the ones caught in the middle.
The parents trying to disciple their kids in a culture of confusion.
The ones exhausted by both extremes and hungry for Jesus again.

🎧 Coming June 11:
“Christ Over Chaos: A Kingdom Response to Culture Wars, Politics, and Polarization.”

It’s not about taking sides.
It’s about taking responsibility.

This one hits close to home.

Our youngest daughter just graduated from high school… and come August, we’ll officially be empty nesters.

And while my heart is bursting with pride and gratitude — I’m also feeling the ache, the identity shift, the waves of grief that sneak up when I least expect them.

This week’s episode is raw, honest, and deeply personal.
Because I’m not just talking about the empty nest — I’m walking through it in real time.
And if you are too… you’re not alone.

We’ll talk about:
• Honoring the grief (without guilt)
• Letting go with grace (not control)
• Staying grounded in identity and purpose
• And embracing the new season God is writing — even if it starts with tears

Episode 57: The Empty Nest – Grieving, Growing, and Embracing a New Season
Releasing this Wednesday, 5/14 on The Happy Family Coach Podcast.
