Today held a little bit of everything…

Starting the day with my community “The outsiders group”. Sharing lunch with friends. Learning, listening and masterminding alongside people who understand the journey. Ending the day gathered around a table for a family-style dinner filled with good conversation and connection.

Tonight, I am crawling into bed feeling tired in the very best way. Grateful for everything I learned, the people I shared it with and the opportunity to step away, grow and bring what I’m learning back into the life and work I love.

Today was a really good day…and I’m taking it all in. 💙

Seattle bound and SO excited for three days of learning, growing and connecting with old friends and new faces! ✈️💙

I don’t get it all right, and I definitely don’t have everything figured out…but I do know this. When you surround yourself with people who are walking a similar path, magic happens.

Let the success of others inspire you instead of intimidate you. Let their courage show you what is possible. Use their stories to fuel the person you want to become…and stop allowing fear to keep you from taking action.

Feel the fear and do it anyway. Seattle, here I come!

Is it just me, or does summer go by way too fast? ☀️

Living in Michigan, we get about three months of summer, so I try to soak in every warm day, every boat ride and every moment by the pool.

Don’t get me wrong…I love fall. I love the colors, the crisp air and sweatshirt weather. But when Labor Day arrives and it is time to close the pool, I always feel a little sadness.

Maybe that is why being fully present where your feet are matters so much. Seasons change quickly. Our kids grow quickly. Life moves quickly. We have to slow down long enough to enjoy the moments while we are living them.

Do you think summer goes by too fast?

Comment YES or NO below! 🍂

Moms…we are going to get some things wrong.

I know I have.

I’ve said things I wish I could take back. I’ve reacted when I should have listened. I’ve tried to fix things that weren’t mine to fix. And I’ve spent way too much time replaying those moments afterward, wondering why I didn’t handle them differently.

But here’s what I’m learning…

We are learning as we go too.

Motherhood doesn’t come with a manual. We aren’t going to handle every situation perfectly, and we aren’t supposed to.

The important part is what we do AFTER we realize we got something wrong.

Own it. Apologize. Learn. Change. Grow.

And then…give yourself permission to move forward.

Because guilt doesn’t change yesterday. Beating yourself up doesn’t make you a better mom today.

Growth does.

When we allow ourselves to make mistakes, overcome them, learn from them and actually CHANGE because of them…that is where the true magic happens.

And something I’m reminding myself of right now is this…

God allowed me to open my eyes again today. That means I was given another chance. Another chance to love better. Listen better. Respond differently. Apologize when I need to. Forgive myself. And keep becoming the woman and mom I want to be.

Don’t waste the second chance God gave you today beating yourself up over something you did yesterday.

Learn from it…and keep going. ❤️

Moms… one of the hardest things we do is watch our daughters go through something hard and not immediately jump in to fix it. 💛

We want to protect them. We want to give them the answer. We want to make the hurt go away… but sometimes the most loving thing we can do is be the safe place they come back to.

Listen. Validate. Love her.

Then ask…

“Do you just want me to listen, or are you looking for me to help you come up with a resolution?”

If she wants help, guide her. If she just wants to be heard, let her be heard.

And then trust her enough to try.

Because confidence is not built by removing every hard thing from her path. It is built when she faces something hard and realizes…

“I handled that.”

That is how self-trust grows. That is how confidence grows. 💛

HOW DID WE GET TO SENIOR YEAR? 💔

And somehow we made it to senior year…

I honestly don’t know how we got here so fast.

As we stand at the beginning of their last year of high school, I find myself wishing I could just slow down time a little bit.

Because I know what’s coming.

The last first day of school. The last homecoming. The last season. The last Christmas break. The last spring break. And eventually that last day when they walk out of high school and into whatever comes next.

And I know that’s what we raised them to do.

We raised them to grow up. To become independent. To figure out who they are and what they want their life to look like.

But man… nobody really prepares you for what it feels like when they actually start doing it.

So to every mom of a senior, I think maybe this year our job is just to embrace it.

Take the pictures when they let us.

Show up.
Listen.
Laugh.

Give them a little more space to figure things out.

And soak in the ordinary moments that we probably don’t even realize we’re going to miss.

Because 18 years felt like forever…until suddenly it wasn’t.

Here’s to every mom trying to hold on just a little while also learning how to let go. ❤️

Class of 2027… here we go.

I used to think that if I made my kids feel a little guilty, maybe it would motivate them. ❤️ I would say things like, “After everything we’ve done for you…” or “You’re going to regret this someday,” thinking somehow that would help them see things differently or make a better choice.

But the truth is, it usually did the exact opposite. They would shut down, get defensive, or pull away, and then I would walk away feeling terrible too. I can’t tell you how many times I replayed a conversation in my head thinking, Ugh...I wish I would have said that differently.

I wasn’t trying to hurt them. I was trying to parent them, guide them and help them make good decisions. I just didn’t always have the tools to communicate what I was really feeling. And I think so many of us moms have been there. We love our kids so much that sometimes our fear, frustration or disappointment comes out completely different than we intended.

I still don’t say everything perfectly. I still have moments when I wish I could rewind a conversation and start over. The difference now is that I have tools that help me slow down, respond instead of react, and repair things when I get it wrong. Sometimes it is as simple as going back and saying, That didn’t come out the way I wanted it to. Can I try again? ❤️

That is exactly why I created my What to Say Cheat Sheet for Moms. Because we have ALL walked away from a conversation thinking, I wish I would have said that differently. This gives you simple words and phrases to use during those difficult parenting moments when emotions are high and you know what you want your daughter to understand, but you’re not quite sure how to say it.

Sometimes changing just a few words can completely change the conversation...and the connection. ❤️
