When one parent is actively seeking help, tools, and answers… and the other seems hesitant or resistant, parenting can feel lonely, frustrating, and confusing. Especially when you’re raising a child with big emotions, behavioral challenges, or unique needs.

In this episode, I’m answering a powerful listener question about what to do when parents aren’t on the same page… why these differences are so common… and how to move forward with more understanding, compassion, and unity.

If you’ve ever wondered how you’re supposed to parent well together when your perspectives, timelines, or comfort levels with getting help don’t match, this conversation is for you.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why parents often approach help, support, and problem-solving very differently
• What’s really underneath resistance to getting help
• How to navigate parenting when you and your partner are on different timelines
• Practical ways to build unity without forcing agreement

As the year comes to a close, many parents find themselves exhausted by resolutions that promise change but add more pressure. If you’re parenting emotional dysregulation or big emotions, this episode offers a different way forward.

In this final episode of the year, we reflect honestly on the year behind us, walk through a gentle RESET framework, and explore how choosing a word for the year can guide your parenting with calm, clarity, and connection… without guilt or overwhelm.

This episode is an invitation to pause, release what no longer serves you, and step into the new year with intention instead of a heavier load of expectations.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why New Year’s resolutions often fail parents navigating parenting challenges
• How reflecting on what worked (and what didn’t) can bring clarity instead of discouragement
• A gentle RESET framework to help you move forward without pressure
• How choosing a word for the year can anchor calm responses during hard moments

What if the very first Christmas didn’t look anything like the peaceful, picture-perfect scene we often imagine?

In this special Christmas episode, I reflect on the birth of Jesus through Mary’s eyes… a young mother whose journey into motherhood unfolded in ways she never could have planned or predicted.

If your holidays feel different than you imagined… quieter, heavier, more complicated… or shaped by the realities of parenting a uniquely wired child, this episode offers comfort, perspective, and hope.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• A fresh, reflective look at the Christmas story through Mary’s experience
• Encouragement for parents whose reality feels far from what they imagined
• Hope and meaning in seasons that feel messy or uncertain
• A reminder that God is present and working, even when the journey looks different

This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that even in the unexpected, God’s plans are unfolding with purpose and grace.
