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.

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.

Welcome to our first Friday BONUS episode, friends! In today's episode, I am interviewing Rita Spittler, who is a very near and dear friend and second mom to us and a second grandmother to our girls. Rita shares her breast cancer journey with us, all the way from her diagnosis to her 18-month walk through the experience and where she is today, ten years later. Rita also shares how her faith lifted her up and kept her going throughout the entire process, as well as shares some advice for other women and families who may be going through the same thing. We hope Rita's story encourages and inspires you, and reminds you to never give up, no matter what you're facing. Enjoy.

Authenticity vs. Acceptance. What's the difference and how do they affect each other? The conversation I have with John Chao on this topic is so rich and deep. We discuss how we can step out of shame and into authenticity not just in our everyday lives, but in our marriages and parenting, too. We discuss the culture of shame, vulnerability and mental health, how our childhoods impact us as adults, ways we can become more self-aware, and how to build a framework and define our values so we can take intentional steps each day to becoming our most authentic selves and be accepted for who we REALLY are.

and on his website The John Collective | Podcast
Feel free to reach out to him with any questions you may have! He is a wealth of knowledge and insight, and really does offer a different perspective that can be so helpful in getting ourselves unstuck and give our mindsets a reboot.
