Offering biblical counseling and faith-based coaching to break unhealthy patterns, improve relationships, and grow emotionally and spiritually. I hear from my clients all the time how frustrated they are with the meltdowns, talking back, helpless baby, sibling rivalry that takes place at home. Parents come in with feelings of guilt of being a "bad parent" - as if there is such a thing! I'm Daniel

le Alvarez Greer, AKA 'The Happy Family Coach'. I empower my clients to create clear boundaries so that they can enjoy a loving, harmonious and peaceful home life. I'm a mother, mentor, family coach and owner of The Happy Kid Toolkit™. The Happy Kid Toolkit™ treats unhappiness by teaching individuals how to take responsibility for their own happiness.

Parents, children, professionals and individuals will leave each one-on-one coaching session with a set of skills/tools to use towards obtaining higher levels of happiness and satisfaction in all they experience in their daily lives and personal relationships. "As an engaging coach, speaker and teacher, Danielle never fails to entertain, provide laughter, and create an enjoyable learning environment. She not only speaks from the heart , she truly does “walk her talk” in how she lives her own personal and professional life, utilizing The Reality Formula™ and Happy Kid Toolkit™ in her own home with her two young children; Sawyer (13), and Reese (9)." ~ Lynne Forrest

I didn’t write this blog from a place of having it all figured out.

I wrote it as a wife who still has to pause…
confess…
repent…
and turn back to the Lord when I slip into frustration or condemnation instead of trust.

This post isn’t about pointing fingers at men.
It’s about understanding the quiet battles many husbands carry — and how those unspoken struggles can slowly affect connection in marriage.

I needed these reminders just as much as I’m sharing them with you.

Inside the blog, I share:
• Scripture that anchors my own heart
• reflection prompts I’ve had to sit with myself
• practical steps we’re still learning to practice
• tools for rebuilding connection when distance creeps in

It’s part two of our marriage series (Episodes 88–90), and I really encourage couples to read and listen together — not to fix each other, but to grow in compassion.

If you’re waiting on the Lord in your marriage… you’re not alone.

Merry Christmas from our home to yours 🤍
Matching pajamas, silly bandanas, dogs who definitely think they run the house… and hearts full of gratitude.

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus today, I just want to say thank you.
Thank you for listening, reading, sharing, praying, showing up, and walking this journey of healing and faith with me.

This season has reminded me again that the greatest gift isn’t perfection —
it’s presence.
God with us.
Grace for today.
Hope for what’s still being restored.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…” — Isaiah 9:6

From the bottom of my heart, I’m praying that your Christmas is filled with peace, warmth, laughter, and the gentle nearness of Jesus — whether your home feels joyful, quiet, full, or tender this year.

You are seen.
You are loved.
And you are deeply valued.

With so much love and gratitude,
Danielle 🎄🤍

EPISODE 89 is here:
The Silent Marriage Killers Men Struggle With

Most husbands don’t lose their marriages loudly —
and it rarely happens on purpose.
It happens quietly… through unspoken fears, unhealed wounds, and emotional isolation.

Through exhaustion.
Through silence.
Through shame.
Through emotional retreat.
Through battles they never learned how to fight out loud.

This episode is NOT about blaming men.
It’s about seeing them.

It’s about the husbands who love their families but feel lost inside.
The men who were taught to be providers… but never taught how to be vulnerable.
The men who are spiritually hungry but feel unqualified to lead.
The men who carry childhood wounds, hidden shame, and fears they’ve never named.

This conversation is tender, honest, and deeply needed—especially at Christmas,
when marriages feel the pressure to “be joyful,”
even while quiet disconnection sits under the surface.

This is Episode 2 of a 3-part marriage series:
✨ Episode 88 — The Silent Marriage Killers Most Couples Ignore
✨ Episode 89 — Men’s Silent Marriage Killers (today’s episode)
✨ Episode 90 — Women’s Silent Marriage Killers (next week)

Husbands and wives: listen together.
Not to fix each other… but to understand each other.

And if your marriage feels distant right now—
please hear me:
God is not finished with your story.

Men rarely destroy their marriages loudly. They don’t wake up one morning and say,“I’m done,”slam the door,and walk out. Most men lose their marriages quietly. They disappear emotionally.They go numb.They retreat.They say, “I’m fine,” when they’re drowning.They bury their pain in wor...

God doesn’t shame men into healing.
He invites them into it.

I’m sharing this with humility.

As a wife, I still have moments where I slip into frustration or condemnation instead of trusting the Lord to do the transforming work only He can do. And when that happens, I have to stop… repent… forgive… and turn back to Him.

Waiting on God in marriage isn’t passive.
It’s humbling.
It stretches you.
And it forces you to rely on Him for strength instead of your own.
Isaiah 40:31

And I want to say this with humility…

Like many women, I have to regularly confess where I slip into condemning or shaming my husband instead of trusting the Lord to do the transforming work only He can do. 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

Waiting on God isn’t passive.
It’s humbling.
It requires repentance, forgiveness, and surrender.

But Scripture reminds us:

“Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31

Marriage isn’t destroyed by one giant moment.
It’s worn down by a thousand tiny ones we never talk about.

The emotional neglect we call “busy.”
The resentment we swallow.
The independence we label “strength.”
The micromanagement that suffocates leadership.
The affection we turn into a weapon.
The spiritual passivity that leaves the marriage uncovered.

Episode 88 is the conversation I wish more couples had—
before the damage becomes normal.

It’s tender, honest, and full of hope.
You’ll even hear a powerful testimony from one of my retreat attendees
who met God right in the middle of heartbreak.

If your marriage has felt distant,
even if nothing “big” has happened…
please listen.

You are the thermostat of your home.
Not the thermometer.

Thermometers react to the temperature.
Thermostats set it.

When your child melts down…
when your teen shuts down…
when the emotions feel bigger than their body…

They don’t need a lecture.
They don’t need a “fix.”
They don’t need you to match their chaos.

They need someone who is anchored.
Someone who understands the deeper story beneath the behavior.
Someone who can say,

“I see how big this feels.
I’m here.
Let’s walk through it together.”

This is the heart of emotional regulation.
This is discipleship.
This is how we break generational patterns and build healthy legacy.

🔥 Episode 87 — Part 2 is out now.
I’m walking you through real UHKT ➜ HKT dialogues,
how to respond without rescuing,
how to let discomfort build maturity,
and the practical toolset you can use with ANY age.

Your presence matters more than your perfection.
You don’t have to get it right every time.
You just have to be willing to grow with the Holy Spirit.

This is Part Two of a conversation that so many of you have reached out to me about:“Why Your Child (or Teen) Melts Down — and How to Help Them Regulate.” If your child, teen, or young adult has big reactions, shuts down, avoids consequences, spirals emotionally, or needs you to rescue them fr...

When your child (or teen) melts down… it’s not “bad behavior.”
It’s not defiance.
It’s not attitude.

It’s an overwhelmed nervous system, a heart in panic, and a mind believing a lie.

In today’s new episode (Part 1 of 2), I’m breaking down:

- What’s actually happening in your child’s brain during emotional overwhelm
- Why meltdowns at 14 look different from meltdown at 4 (but come from the same root)
- The real reason kids shut down, explode, or withdraw
- How shame, fear, and exhaustion trigger UHKT roles
- What Scripture teaches us about emotional storms
- And how YOU can become a grounded, Holy-Spirit–led presence in the moment

This isn’t behavior management.
This is discipleship, emotional formation, and generational healing.

If you’re ready to understand your child on a deeper level—and respond with calm, clarity, and compassion—start with Part 1 today. ❤️

When your child or teen melts down, I know how easy it is to see defiance, disrespect, or “drama.”But under the surface, there is always something deeper happening: an overwhelmed heart, a flooded nervous system, and a mind believing a lie. In Part 1 of this two-part series, I’m taking you ins...
