Description

Are you a Christian mom watching your older child struggle and wondering where things went wrong? Do you feel like the more you try to help, the more distant they become? You're not alone—and you're not helpless. In this podcast, we explore how a simple but powerful shift in the energy you bring to the relationship can unlock healing, trust, and real influence. It’s not about fixing your child—it’s about showing up differently so connection comes first and change can follow. Hey, I’m Amy, Christian mom of 6, who used to parent from overwhelm, anxiety, stress, and impatience… and it didn’t work for my kids. It’s when I shifted my mom energy that I was able to help my kids in ways I’d always wanted and they needed. I became the calm, confident and compassionate mom who could both nurture my kids through their challenges, and inspire them into thriving. If you’re ready for a different approach to change that isn’t just scripted phrases and timed consequences, but addresses the core of the problem by creating better communication, connection and influence with your older child, then you’re in the right place! So get those earbuds in, grab your walking shoes and let’s learn together how to reconnect with your child in a way that transforms both you and them into more loving, peacefulness and true joy!
