Coaching & Compassion

Motherhood is created in the small moments…

1. Ice cream date with my favorite girls
2. The twins trying on fake press on nails
3. Notes to the tooth fairy - she was late
4. Coloring makes me calm
5. Holding a little space for big nerves
6. First ever piano recital
7. Supporting friends for important causes
8. Best homemade meal ever - katsu curry
9. Belated bday celebration for
10. Devil wears Prada 2 - so good!
11. Mother’s Day at school - they made us lunch, wrote us poems and spoiled us
12. Gifts… they made little trinket trays
13. I feel more confident about this whole boy Mom thing
14. Fitting room fun with the fam
15. Mother’s Day 2026 -
16. It takes a village
17. Loving through the good, the bad and everything in between

Somewhere along the way I traded in anxiety in Motherhood for quiet moments and contentment… it’s in how I choose to handle it, how I choose to mess up, repair, and try again.

Happiest Mother’s Day to all who celebrate ❤️.

8 million people (young, old and everyone in between) around the world walked the ‘No Kings’ protest, making this the biggest cumulative protest to ever exist in American history!! Whoever thinks peaceful protesting doesn’t make a difference… take it up with Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.!

1️⃣ What a tough age to be a human! Like nothing makes sense anymore, life feels tricky and overwhelming. Feelings are high but emotional vocabulary may be low, what a relief to write unfiltered in a journal knowing no one will violate your most inner thoughts. Often times, family life may feel unsafe and writing in a journal is what offers a safe outlet for them to share and feel seen.

2️⃣ Guys privacy is officially in. This is the only acceptable new norm from here on out… offering them privacy is offering them respect. The kind that helps them define their standard of respect they should expect from others. They’ll come to understand anything outside of this, is in fact a violation!

3️⃣ This age is a vulnerable time as their bodies are changing at a rapid pace and it is not in our child’s interest to be judged or criticized for their appearance in any way. Whether it may be: acne, chubby, too skinny, short, tall, skin color, hair texture, the list goes on. They don’t want your critique on their appearance but rather your support as they look in the mirror each passing day wondering what change they’ll have to endure today! Be their confidant!!

4️⃣ As a pr***en, our kids are asking an important inner question, “Am I worthy!” Like an investigator they are scoping for this answer everywhere they go. Our kids are being led to define their worth based on just one measure, grades which is robbing them of their totality. A better measure at this age can be based on character development.

5️⃣ Parents, trust me they have this one covered all on their own, no help needed! They fixate on comparative discovery: How come I’m not as skinny as Lisa, how does Mike get an A without even studying, I can’t run as fast as Maria, hate that my brother has better skin than me, why have all the boys in my class had a growth spurt but me? They need safe space at home knowing their family loves them for exactly who they are, not someone else.

What would you add… 👇

If they had the right articulate words and had no fear they would say…

➡️ they want to be able to express their doubt in themselves but know their parents don’t doubt them. They want to know their parents are by their side to encourage them and accept failure if needed.

➡️ they sometimes lie because they are afraid of being yelled at, the consequence, the shame, etc. They need a safe place to come to make their mistakes. Placing boundaries maybe necessary on our part but they want to know they’re still safe and loved in pursuit of correction.

➡️ they want to learn who they are without being told who they are. They don’t want to be our mini-me’s, they don’t want to be prescribed a career at 6 years old. They want to take their time to know who it is they are, they just want us along for the ride.

➡️ they are exhausted from listen to parents, the teachers, then aftercare adults, grandparents, and again parents all day. They are tired of constantly being told what to do just about every second of the day. Sometimes they don’t want to listen, or rather they want to listen to only themselves. They don’t want to take the dog out, they want to finish reading their book on the couch.

➡️ they want to mistakes to be a part of life not life breaking! They want it to be safe to make a mistake without yelling or shame. They want to know we accept them despite a mistake while also showing them how they can do things better.

The masseuse asked me to close my eyes then held this shell up to my ear (I was treated to a spa day for my birthday in Mexico).

I immediately started crying… because the memory of me as a little girl came through.

How I used to hold up this same shell I used to have in my parents home temple.

I remember being young and hearing the vastness of the world and universe all through this shell. The vastness had me excited but scared! So much yet to learn and explore.

In that moment I got to see my little girl and have soooo much love for her.

And right there as my tears flowed in love and gratitude I had my celebration moment!

For me… birthdays, Mothers days, anniversaries, etc. don’t come in big waves but in small moments.

I’ve learned to slow down just enough to catch them as they’re fleeting.

In that moment by myself and the masseuse), I celebrate my birthday and everything that came before and after was simply a bonus.

I’m grateful to be alive, I’m grateful to be safe, I grateful to love and be loved! I’m grateful for all that wasn’t perfect in my life for it is the reason I wake up with purpose everyday!

Have been counting my blessings all day and you guys are high on my list ;) I love learning, falling and growing in Motherhood with all of you!!!

If pictures could talk…

There would be tears for it is in these small moments of parenting I became a Mother.

Scared that I will get it wrong, scared that I won’t be enough.

Little did I know it would be in these fearful moments that an unknown strength within me would lift me up only to help me see myself and my babies clearer.

In all the moments I felt alone as a Mom, it’s so evident that I wasn’t. I was held the entire way though. I’m still held the entire way through.

And just like we would challenge, protect and nurture our own babies God has been doing the same with me. Guiding me to Mother myself and them with so much love and grace even in my most raw and vulnerable moments.

Funny how our universe works, funny how complicated yet uncomplicated it can all be!

Ever so grateful for my three wise gurus in life. They teach me about me, them and our world.

🩷Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrate

Kids cannot learn to regulate feelings we don’t allow them to have

Children learn to cope with their feelings the same way we cope with their feelings and help them work through it.

Since our children haven’t developed areas of their brain responsible for emotional regulation just yet… often they may have big emotions followed by big reactions.

It is up to us to help them regulate because they don’t have the ability to do so themselves just yet.

In fact, the more we create space within ourselves for our own feelings by simply taking the time to ask ourselves how we are feeling, sitting with that feeling, and responding to a situation accordingly, the more freely we allow our children to do the same while being a safe space for them to share!

When our children are seen, heard, and validated for their emotional experiences they don’t feel the need to carry that energy with them! So todays feelings don’t define how we/our kids show up tomorrow!

The feeling just simply wants to be felt…. Feelings are our friends ;)

You know when you hear a quote — you can totally feel the energy behind it?

This is one of my favorite quotes by . Words that have shaped my parenting with my own children.

This very quote implies an energy required to make your child want to be your disciple.

A safety and security they feel in wanting to take on your guidance.

If you want to discipline your kids, make them your disciple!

Discipline isn’t about control, fear, or punishment-it’s about connection, guidance, and trust.

A disciple doesn’t obey out of fear. They follow out of love.

✨ When we shift from punishment to teaching, from fear to belonging, our children grow into emotionally secure, confident, and compassionate humans.

✨ Discipline = Teaching, Not Controlling!!

Parenting isn’t about perfection… it’s about growth.

The more we learn, heal, and unlearn old patterns, the more we create a nurturing space for our children to thrive.

🌱 Your healing IS their foundation.
🌿 Your awareness IS their advantage.

Somewhere along the way parents picked up this faulty message that our kids have to always feel good and happy.

This message is faulty on so many levels…

- As humans we are designed to experience the full range of human emotions.
- Each emotion serves a purpose and is communicating to us an important message.
- Emotions are just energy in motion and simply want to freely be felt.
- It is impossible to always feel good, taking the novelty of “good” away!

So instead what is crucial is getting our kids to be good at feeling…

- What are you feeling right now?
- Where in your body are you feeling it?
- I’m here with you while you feel this!
- What is it trying to communicate?
- What do you need right now?
- Is there anything I can do to help you?
- Can I just sit with you a while?

🩶 The more and more we create space within ourselves for our own feelings by simply taking the time to ask ourselves how we are feeling, sitting with that feeling, and responding to a situation accordingly, the more freely we allow our children to do the same while being a safe space for them to share!

🤍 When our children are seen, heard, and validated for their emotional experiences they don’t feel the need to carry that energy with them! So todays feelings don’t define how we/our kids show up tomorrow!

🩶 Feelings are the first steps to healing,
It may not feel appealing but, ultimately revealing, Acknowledgment is needed no stealing, Once this is understood, there are not limits, no ceilings!

✨ Leave a ❤️ if you want your kids to be good at sharing their feelings with you!

At first, the world shapes our mind…

Our childhood experiences, the way we were parented, unspoken lessons we absorbed.

But healing begins when we take the reins, when our mind begins shaping the world around us

As conscious parents, this means breaking cycles, questioning old patterns, and creating a new reality for our children-one rooted in love, awareness, and emotional safety.

You are not bound by the way you were raised. You have the power to shift, heal, and transform th world your child grows up in.
