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.

Hi, friends! Today on the show we are discussing how we have embraced our own individuality within our marriage, while also celebrating and enjoying the time we spend together. As you know, Nate and I live AND work together, and while we enjoy being and working together, there are times that we take just for ourselves to pursue our own down-time, hobbies or time with friends. We know that figuring out how you fit into your new-found one-ness once you get married can be difficult for some, and we want to share what has helped us not only embrace our individual passions and desires within our marriage, but how we also respect each other's need for that. We believe that not everything in marriage has to be shared, but we do support each other in our ventures and in our individual friendships. Listen along as we share how we navigate this. We'll also give some tips if you're struggling for some "you" time within all of the marital "we" time. Enjoy!

Welcome back to another Friday episode of AuthentiKate & Nate, friends! Today our guest is Masako Kozawa. Masako is a Japanese American who spent the first 21 years of her life in Japan before coming to the U.S. to attend college. She has now been in the U.S. for 20 years and what she has learned through her cultural, religious and personal journey is amazing and eye-opening. Masako shares with us how she navigated her divorce from her husband and becoming a single mother, as well as what it means to be a Christian and live within the Christian community as a divorced woman. She also shares her perspective on breaking free from containers, whether they be cultural, religious, relational, professional or otherwise, and what we can all learn from asking ourselves some hard questions and doing some deep inner work to show up as our authentic, best and true selves in the world. We hope you learn a lot and really enjoy this episode and please give Masako some love at the links where you can find her below!

Today on the podcast, we are discussing balance in marriage and parenthood. Balance can be that elusive thing that we may feel like we can never fully achieve, so maybe blend would be a better word to describe it? Either way, finding balance or blending can be difficult, and Nate and I are going to share how we have balanced (or attempt to balance) our marriage with our own parenting of Trinity and Sydney, while also parenting 7-12 other students full-time at our boarding school. Let us tell you, it has been no easy feat, but communication and teamwork are definitely key, so we hope you will listen in and find some useful takeaways for yourself in whatever season of life you're in right now.

Hello, friends, and welcome back! Today I am interviewing Jonna Watson. Jonna is a wife, mother of four (including a set of twins!) and a school psychologist. Jonna is fascinated with neuroscience and is passionate about how our brain connects with our bodies and our emotions when we get in touch with our inner child. Jonna and I discuss all things play, creativity, imagination, taking time for yourself and really doing what you need to reboot your marriage, motherhood and life. We talk about how to get past feeling stuck and rediscovering the sense of joy and wonder that are available to all of us if we only look and listen to what our bodies, and minds, are telling us. We hope you get a lot out of this episode and get back in touch with the child inside of you!
To connect with Jonna, visit her on Instagram @ https://www.instagram.com/jonna_watson/
and you can also find her on her podcast, 5 Minute Inner Child on Apple and Spotify.

Communication with anyone can be difficult, let alone frustrating, but communication in marriage can be even more so, especially when there is miscommunication, anger, hurt and words said, but not meant. Nate and I discuss the "art" of communication in today's episode and we share our own personal struggles with communicating, as well as how we both have improved, and want to keep improving. We discuss the importance of marriage counseling not just as a means to fix a problem that has arisen, but as a tune up to make sure everything is still chugging along as it should be. We also share how watching how our parents communicated when we were kids can greatly impact how we may communicate with our partners, as well as how we communicate will impact how our kids not only communicate with us, but with others as well. We cover this and so much more and are very transparent with our successes and failures. We hope this episode encourages you to communicate with your partner better and that you, as always, enjoy. :)

Welcome back! In today's episode we share how important it is to respect your children. Why, you say? Because we believe that when you respect your children, you not only get respect from them, but they learn how to respect others, as well. Our goal as parents should be to mold and shape our children into the best humans they can be and to instill in them traits and values that will make them successful in the world. We want our children to form strong relationships with others, but they cannot do that if it is not modeled for them. By respecting them, we role model that behavior and can teach them as they grow and mature. Nate and I share stories from our time houseparenting high school girls and elementary boys to share with you just how effective respecting children can be, and what it teaches them in the moment and in the long run. Listen in as we share our experience over the last (almost) 12 years and be encouraged to keep showing up every day for your kids, reminding that you love and respect them no matter what.
