AuthentiKated Christian Parenting

Parenting is hard, but being a focused, intentional and conscious parent is even harder. Being there for your kids and trying to teach them all they need to know while also being attuned to yourself is no easy feat, but it can be done and is so worth the time and effort it takes. I not only want to help you be authentic to yourself, but in your parenting, as well. Listen each week as I offer advice, share stories and lot and lots of thoughts on how we can all be self-aware and self-assured in our parenting to be the best parents we want to be and our children need us to be each and every day.

What is Conscious Parenting and why should we even bother with it? Well, this episode will answer just that. I break down what conscious parenting is and why it's so important not only for us, but for our children.

Welcome back, friends!! Today, I am sharing my interview with Jennifer Becker, who is not only one of my favorite people in the world, but who also happens to be my amazing, intelligent and insightful sister-in-law! Jenn and I have been through 20 years of ups, downs and in-betweens together, and I am so grateful that she's a part of my life.
Jenn is a Licensed Social Worker who has specialized in mental health for much of her career. We discuss how mental health affects not only us, but our children, partners and basically all the relationships in our lives. We talk about how important it is to be pro-active with your own mental health, and also how important it is to empower and support others' on their mental health journeys, as well. Jenn also discuss how important it is to be vigilant about the mental health of our kids, including having age-appropriate conversations with our kids about mental health and encouraging them to make their health a priority, too.
Seeking mental health treatment and support, however you choose to do it, should never be a source of shame. If you, or someone you know, is struggling with mental heath issues, I hope you are encouraged by this episode to get the help you need and to reach out to friends and other loved ones for support. You are not alone and help is only a phone all away.

Ditching the Mom Guilt

Friday Jul 29, 2022

Friday Jul 29, 2022

Welcome back, friends!! Today's episode is another mini-episode and a solo episode with me (Kate)! Today I'm discussing how we can ditch the mom guilt (who needs it?!) and really lean into who we are as women, mothers and partners and take all of who we are into motherhood and not make ourselves feel guilty about it. As moms, we're pretty darn good at making ourselves feel guilty about almost anything in our motherhood, and today I want to offer you some encouragement to give yourself a break, some grace and to celebrate all the things that you are already doing well and can celebrate as wins. So be encouraged, Mamas! You're already doing a GREAT JOB!! Tune in today to be reminded of it!

Finding Presence in Parenting

Saturday Jul 16, 2022

Saturday Jul 16, 2022

Hola, friends! We come to you today from Mexico! We have been on vacation here since last Tuesday, and leave this coming Tuesday, July 19th. We have had a wonderful time here and are greatly enjoying our Summer vacation in general, but we are super aware that it's now been over a month since we have published an episode! So we're back, and today we're doing a super short episode on how our culture and societal expectations can keep us on an ever-moving treadmill that is hard to get off. We discuss how we can slow down as people, but especially as parents, to be more PRESENT in our children's lives. How we can actually put those to-do lists on hold, take a moment for ourselves and be fully present with our children and each other. So wherever you're listening from, we hope this mini-episode is encouraging to you and that it helps you step away from the busyness of your life, even for a little while or for a few moments, to get back to what your life is truly about....living. Enjoy!

Are you overwhelmed and frustrated by technology when it comes to your kids? Do you even know where to begin? Do you question whether or not you should set limits and boundaries? Do you struggle with knowing what app permissions to give your kids? Do you have conversations with your kids about technology - the good, the bad AND the ugly of it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then listen in on today's episode! Nate and I have an open and honest conversation with Trinity and Sydney about technology - phones, computers, TV, etc. - and get their thoughts on it. We also share our thoughts and perspectives as their parents on what we limit, and why. We believe that parents' are their children's first defense against the world, and that includes being vigilant about what your children are seeing and hearing in all forms. We believe it is important to have age-appropriate conversations with your kids about technology so you can both weigh in on why you both feel the way you do, as well as make your kids aware of the education, fun and positive influences media can have, but also the negative influences and dangers that technology brings, as well. We hope this episode is helpful for you and that you walk away gaining a little more insight on how you can choose to manage technology in your own home with your children. Enjoy!

Today's episode was a super fun one to do! While Nate was away taking care of items on his to-do list, I interviewed Trinity and Sydney on a variety of topics and they gave some pretty great, and honest, answers. We covered everything from how they feel about each other, to school, to what it's been like living at a boarding school and sharing their parents, as well as how Nate and I can improve. Did I say they were honest? But all joking aside, they did a great job and they share some great perspectives and insight on what it's like to be them, and what it's like to be a kid these days. We hope you enjoy this one and we'll be back next week as a family to discuss their opinions and perspectives on their generation's use of technology. Enjoy!

Welcome back! Andre'a Cross is my guest on today's episode and she brings a wealth of wisdom and knowledge and a large dose of authenticity to our conversation. Andre'a is the mother of 5 (yes, 5!) girls, but she is also a wife and entrepreneur. She shares her story of how she and her husband took an imaginative and uncoventional route to respond to the bullying and racism that two of their older daughters faced in school WHILE ONLY IN 3RD GRADE. Her story is inspiring and I just love how she advocates, empowers and equips girls to be and celebrate who they are and were created to be in this world. She also shares her journey of motherhood and being an entrepreneur with us and all the lessons she's learned and adventures she's embarked on because of it. So listen in and enjoy, and follow Andre'a and grab some Geeky Girls Journal books and merchandise at the links below to empower, equip and encourage the girls in your life!

Welcome back, friends! On today's episode, we discuss the importance of instilling confidence in your children. We discuss how we do that in our own lives and also some of the traps that can come along with some of the messages our kids hear from their peers and social media that attempt to instill confidence in them, but end up leading them the wrong way. We also discuss being mindful of how we speak to, and about, others, as well as how we speak about ourselves. Our children are always listening and watching and we need to be sure that we are not only verbally instilling the messages we want them to hear and absorb, but role-modeling those messages, too. Let us know, how do you instill confidence in your kids? Come join our Facebook Page and share!
