Your Child is Not a Dyson

When I first became a mom, I longed to have Mama Mary by my side in every moment of my motherhood. I didn’t yet know about consecrations, so in my desperation, I went for something bold—a miraculous medal tattoo on my ankle. (Spoiler: consecrations are easier and far less painful!) In this episode, I share my journey of learning what true meekness looks like—not weakness, but the gentle strength Mary embodied through her total trust, surrender, and holy detachment. I open up about the years I spent overwhelmed, snapping and yelling at my kids, and how that vicious cycle of guilt and shame kept me stuck. But I also share the turning point: when I finally discovered the tools to regulate my emotions, restore my relationships, and start enjoying my motherhood again. You’ll hear how these same tools now help the Catholic homeschool moms I coach to heal disconnection, stop the yelling cycle, and fall in love with their motherhood—even if it feels “too late.” Because the truth is, it’s never too late. No mom is beyond hope, and no child is beyond help. And when your motherhood feels better, every area of your life—your homeschool, your marriage, your family rhythms—begins to flourish. Whether you’re struggling with yelling, snapping, or just feeling out of control in your home, this episode will give you hope, practical insight, and a reminder that God’s mercy is bigger than your mistakes. Plus I’ve got a BIG announcement at the end for you, if you are a self-identified ‘yeller.’  So please grab your earbuds and join me today for: Your Child is Not a Dyson.
