  • How to Enjoy Mother's Day
    May 8 2024

    The most dreaded day of the year for many Mothers. My heart goes out to those who could never be a mother whether it be from not getting married to infertility problems.
    Any enjoyment we get from life is generated by our thoughts. What thoughts we think and choose to hang on to bring us pleasure or pain. If we have a disappointing Mother's Day, it's all because of disappointing thoughts we choose to believe are true. Listen to this episode to learn what your responsibility is in having an enjoyable Mother's Day.

  • Being Willing to Wait for a Better Connection With an Adult Child
    Apr 18 2024

    Have you given up hope on actualizing a better relationship with an adult child?
    This episode is for YOU! Our biggest roadblock is not being willing to wait for them to want a connection with us. And it does happen. I share an experience in my own life where after three years of a non-existent relationship with one of my children we are speaking and connecting with each other in a way I never dreamed possible. I talk about in this episode why it's important to wait for your children to change their behavior, on their timeline, and how to wait without feeling hopeless.

I discuss how to remedy these concerns. I help you understand what the real problem is in not living the life you thought you would be living and how to create a life you wish you were living.
