Raising teenage boys can pull us toward fixing, micromanaging, and doing it all. But softness isn’t weakness—it’s the doorway that calls our sons higher. In this heart-forward conversation, I unpack how to stay grounded in your feminine (nurturing, receptive, wise) while giving your son room to practice his masculine (action, responsibility, protection). I share a personal moment with my 16-year-old that shows what happens when we step back with trust—our boys step up.

What you’ll learn

• The age shift: signs your boy is reaching for independence (11–13+)

• The posture shift: from controlling to inviting, guiding, and receiving

• Simple “step-up” moments: carry the groceries, lock the doors, take initiative

• How to balance motherly wisdom with trust in his decisions

• Why staying soft actually helps him grow strong and honorable

Reflect & journal

• Where am I fixing instead of holding space?

• One small way I can invite him to rise this week

• A place I’m ready to release control and show trust

In this episode, we dive into the basics of feminine and masculine energy and why understanding both is essential to living in alignment with how God created us. You’ll learn how to embody your feminine energy 90% of the time while using just enough masculine energy to provide direction and structure. I’ll share simple, everyday practices — including a personal story about how my girls and I add beauty to our daily routines — that will help you feel more present, joyful, and whole. We’ll also talk about why being complete within yourself doesn’t replace the need for partnership, but instead allows you to bring fullness and authenticity into your relationships.

When life feels unmanageable, control can look like safety—but it’s a trap. In this heartfelt episode, I share how handing everything to God during and after my divorce transformed my fear into peace, especially in mothering from afar. We talk about releasing the urge to fix, trusting our Heavenly Parents with the people we love most, and what feminine strength really looks like: becoming a safe, loving presence instead of rescuing or forcing outcomes. I also walk you through my simple journaling-and-scripture practice for receiving answers and how this shift has changed my relationship with my sons—and with myself. If you’re a woman carrying too much, this is your invitation to let go, lean into faith, and feel empowered in your true feminine.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why control feels safe—but isn’t.

• How to hand your fears to God and actually feel peace.

• The feminine role as “safe space” vs. rescuer (and why it matters for sons/partners).

• My step-by-step journal + scripture practice to receive guidance.

• What empowerment looks like after divorce and in co-parenting.

Try this: Journal your feelings to God (“I feel…”) and then pause to write what He tells you. Open your scriptures and ask, “What do I need today?” Record the impressions you receive.
