Years ago was having a really hard time parenting my 3rd son. I would get triggered easily and raise my voice regularly to get him to listen. I felt reactive because I felt like I was not able to control my child. I went to counseling with the intention to fix my son and get him to LISTEN. I thought HE was the problem. If only he did what I said, I wouldn’t feel frustrated and angry. What happened instead, I ended up going to counseling for ME to learn ways to manage my own triggers and negative emotions.

I really struggled implementing the skills and tools I learned in heated and triggering moments at home.

I noticed that when I was struggling myself, running on empty, overwhelmed, I could not implement anything I learned. I went back to my old ways of threatening and punishing my kids out of frustration and anger. (That did not feel good for me).

In addition to counseling, I invested in mom coaching and I started to feel empowered. I started to connect with God daily, proactively take care of myself, implement healthy habits and I saw the positive impact on me and my family.

My motherhood changed. I became patient, grounded, calm, collected and understanding. (That was my new norm) My tolerance level for noise, meltdowns and life not going my way increased drastically. I was no longer over-reacting and feeling triggered often.

As I was learning more about stress, emotions, my up-brining and mindset, I felt like I learned this knowledge and wisdom that very few Christian moms knew. I decided to start a Podcast and share what I’ve learned. Emotionally Healthy Legacy was born.

I became so passionate helping Christian moms prioritize their needs, set boundaries, overcome mom guilt, and master emotional regulation SO they can break negative emotional patterns (such as explosive anger and control) and leave an Emotionally Healthy Legacy for their children.
