One of the questions I get most often about how to parent tweens and teens well. On this episode of the podcast, Connie Albers, author of Parenting Beyond The Rule shares the tips and tricks that worked for her. Here’s my favorite quote that really sums up this whole episode. “People say my children are different. Well of course they are because they're formed by the God that made them with a purpose with a unique set of gifts so strengths and talents. They weren't in the wrong line and they didn't miss out on a certain quality. Connie Albers We still have broken pieces to us because we're all have we all have weaknesses and I love to help parents say let's let's focus on our strengths. Because that's where God's going to use them to excel and to do.” - Connie Albers Links Mentioned On The Show: Parenting Beyond The Rules Mended: Restoring the Hearts of Mothers and Daughters About Our Guest: Connie Albers spent 25 years parenting her five children and 20 years working with teens.

In this episode we talked about:  Alexa's surprise of being pregnant with twin girls, who they would later find out suffer from a common disease, Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), which ultimately led to the loss of one twin baby girl.  The loss of Alexa’s baby affecting her relationship and faith in God. Alexa: “All I could think about was, “Why do you hate me?” ... and I just ended my relationship with God.”  The struggles Alexa had with herself in who she was and how she fell into a dark place in her life.  How the relationship with her husband fell apart and how they would continue with their lives going on their own paths while still being parents to their kids.  The events that led to Alexa’s faith in God being fully restored and the newest commitments her husband started to make for their relationship and family to be stronger than ever.  Alexa’s inspiration to share her story, write her books, and build her business and community towards helping families that can

One of the things that surprised me the most about motherhood was honestly, how complicated it is. I’ll be honest, I brought a lot of baggage into motherhood, from my childhood and from my own mom’s motherhood story.  As it turns out, they way you were mothered influences your own motherhood journey on both sides. I’m not throwing my mom under the bus here friends, I had a great childhood and there is so much about WHO I am that I know is a direct result of how she nurtured and encouraged me. But things made so much more sense to me after I read the book, It’s Momplicated by Joan Edwards Kay and Debbie Asldorf. And I’m super pumped to bring you this interview with them today. In this episode, the three of us share our stories and it’s not all kittens and roses. But, I hope you leave this episode encouraged on the path of walking with Jesus towards healing and hope. Because there is NOTHING that God can’t redeem. Nothing. Links mentioned in the show:  It’s Momplicated [book] It’s Momplicated [website] Debbie

Hey friends and welcome back to the show. Today’s show is one of the most sacred ones I’ve recorded to date and it’s a conversation that I recorded with my friend Micala Quinn in early September.

Friends, this isn’t one that I’d listen to with kids around. Alright, here we go. Thanks again to Micala for being so brave and going first.
