Almost a year ago now—it’s hard to believe how fast time can go. There was a moment when I felt unsure of what to do, yet at the same time, I somehow knew exactly what I needed to do. In that moment, a beautiful image came to mind from the Holy Spirit. I can stillContinue reading “Remembering the moment”

1 Safe person
“Every person needs at least one safe individual before the age of 18—someone who truly sees, hears, and values them, delights in who they are, and knows them deeply. When that happens, it builds a stronger foundation for mental health in adulthood. Without it, life can feel confusing and the struggle is real. Everyone needsContinue reading “1 Safe person”

Making Sense of Your Worth – To Live Ministry
Everyone has a story. Making Sense of Your Worth is a beautiful space I am honored to walk with individuals to help them see what has been defining them For most people, that story defines your life.

To Live Ministry – A Place To Live
A New Movement Is Rising In my work, I see a recurring theme: women raising children with special needs—often on their own. There’s no daycare for these kids, and even if such services existed, the funds simply aren’t there to make them accessible. Many of these women are working hard, doing the best they can,Continue reading “To Live Ministry – A Place To Live”
Supporting Regulation
So I have another story for you today. I’ve been working with a family for about half a year now. When I first met Mom, she really wasn’t connected to her son. During our first visit, she leaned in and was teachable —bringing her son close, holding his hands, and speaking to him while lookingContinue reading “Supporting Regulation”
It’s the little moments of break through..
It’s in the little moments when, all of a sudden, a breakthrough happens. I have a beautiful story about a little boy who doesn’t have words. His mom shared a wonderful, moving experience with her son. She and another caregiver were driving in the car with him in the backseat. He was diligently playing onContinue reading “It’s the little moments of break through..”
There is a season for everything under the sun.
I’d love to tell you about a family. There is a lot of extended family involved, but in this case, it’s a grandma raising her grandson. It’s a hard story. When I met them, Grandma was preparing to have her grandson come live with her full-time. I began teaching her TBRI® before he moved in.Continue reading “There is a season for everything under the sun.”
