    You Become Who You Surround Yourself With

    You Become Who You Surround Yourself With

    Many different people have expressed this thought - you become who you surround yourself with.  We taught this concept to our children as they were growing up and choosing friends.  However, it isn’t just for our children and the friends they choose.
    It’s for all of us in many different ways.

    What is Motherhood?

    What is Motherhood?

    Did my motherhood shape my faith, or rather, did my faith shape my motherhood?  I’m not sure I have the answer, but after that retreat when I understood that I wasn’t just marking time here, that I had a mission from God, I knew that when I embraced my vocation with a joy and fervor I had not done before, vocation and faith worked together to change me and to grow in virtue and love.

    How to Find Time for Authentic Self-Care

    How to Find Time for Authentic Self-Care

    Self-care has gotten a bad rap, and I think that’s because we’ve blurred the lines of self-care and over-indulgence.
    We can’t live in either extreme – putting yourself so last that you’re not even on your list nor putting yourself 1st all the time to please all your whims and desires so that all you think about is yourself.
    So, let’s look at self-care from a reasonable,  moderate perspective.

One of the best podcasts if you want to stay married

Every time I listen to Jane something clicks on my mind. I am so thankful for you, Jane, and the time and talents that you share with us.

The last podcast that I listened to touched my heart so much ❤️‍🔥and this is my takeaway:

“How is my husband sacrificing for our son and myself?”

I agree entirely this podcast is full of PRACTICAL tools to become the women we are called to be 😁🌹🥰🙏

Great episode on Love Languages

This episode was so revealing when Janet said that many men consider going to work as the primary way to show love for their spouses and families. The entire episode had many great observations on communicating support, affection and love for your husband…especially, “make requests without expectations” - yes! So simple and yet challenging. I appreciate that Janet (in the several episodes I have listened to) challenges the listener to make the change instead of relying on others. So much of her material is practical. Thank you for these little changes that can make a huge difference!

Tough but good

Janet is a wonderful, deliberate coach. I see how being consistent can help kids to be more aware of - and to expect - boundaries. (I just enjoyed listening to the episode on setting boundaries with our children.) I would love to hear more on this topic of setting boundaries as I think children can “push” parents around very easily these days - and it can be hard for parents to stand up and believe in themselves.
