I believe that every family can thrive. That includes every intact, 2 parent family, every blended family, every single parent family and every empty nester family. By leaning into our faith, and aligning our values we can lean into tension and move forward stronger.
I grew up in dysfunction and understand how those childhood experiences continue to affect us into adulthood. It takes faith and courage to stand up to generation dysfunction, but it can be done. As a single mom, I raised a son to be a happy, healthy successful man. He has a dual degree from UW Madison, works in sports media, and travels the midwest playing Ultimate Frisbee with the professionsl team, The Madison Radicals.
Along the way I learned to forgive his addiction-controlled father as I went from having a restaining order agaist hi to being his guardian. The 6 steps of forgiveness is one of my favorite topics to share. It's not just about forgiving the person who caused your pain, it is also about forgiving yourself for being vulnerable.
In 2018, after decades of leading church small groups and being ‘that friend’ that everyone can talk to, I wrote my first book, WHOLE; Finding Faith, Hope, and Love in the Wake of Divorce. A faith based guide to healing from and learning from divorce. While divorce is often taboo in the Christian community, the fact is that it happens. According to PEW Research 74% of divorced people in America identify as Christian and many of them don't feel welcome in their church after the experience.
I love speaking to women about how much God loves and values them, and I love speaking to divorced people for much the same reason. Too often we get the message that we are not really fearfully and wonderfully made becaue of our gender or choices we made. But with grace, nothing can seperate us from God's love, after all; God is love. Peace, joy, and love are waiting for all of us. Today, I am focused on helping YOU unlock your faith for yourself and your family.
