When you’re in a waiting season, it’s tempting to believe silence means God has stopped working. But Scripture shows us otherwise:

✅ Name the tomb. Be honest about the place in your life that feels sealed off.
✅ Stay faithful in the quiet. Like Joseph of Arimathea, do the next right thing even when you don’t see results.
✅ Hold on to hope. God’s silence is not His absence—it’s preparation for resurrection.

This is what I’m unpacking in this week’s episode: When the Miracle Hasn’t Come Yet: Lessons from the Tomb.

If your marriage, parenting, or personal walk with God feels stuck in the “in-between,” I want to help you wait well and trust deeply.

The miracle may not have come yet… but that doesn’t mean God has stopped moving. 💛

In Mark 15:42–47, Jesus was buried, the stone was rolled in place, and it looked like the story was over. But even in the tomb, God was still at work.

If you’re in that “in-between” season—waiting for a breakthrough in your marriage, parenting, dating, or personal walk with God—this new episode will encourage you to trust His timing and hold onto hope, even when the silence feels heavy.

🎙 When the Miracle Hasn’t Come Yet: Lessons from the Tomb drops this Wednesday, September 3 — don’t miss it.

Have you ever been pulled into the drama of a group text, a heated Facebook thread, or a “Did you hear what happened?” conversation — only to find out later you didn’t have the full story? 😬

In Acts 19, a riot breaks out in Ephesus because one man’s complaint snowballs into hours of shouting — and most people don’t even know why they’re there. In Episode 72, I’m unpacking the danger of loud crowds and half-truths, and showing you how the Happy Kid Toolkit can help you (and your kids) stay calm, grounded, and rooted in truth when emotions run high. 🎙✨

She left for college… and he took me to Greece. 🇬🇷💛
Because he knew. He knew I’d need space to breathe, to grieve, and to remember who we are — not just as parents, but as us.

This season isn’t empty.
It’s slower. Sacred. Surprisingly sweet.
And God is meeting me right here in it.

🎧 If you’re navigating transition, identity shifts, or a quiet house of your own…
go back and listen to Episode 58 of The Happy Family Coach Podcast:
“The Empty Nest: Grieving, Growing, and Embracing a New Season”
It’s one of the most tender and honest episodes I’ve ever recorded.

You can follow all the rules.
Check all the boxes.
Do everything “right” — and still feel burned out, resentful, and disconnected.

That’s Law Mode.
It creeps into our faith, our marriage (yes, even intimacy), and our parenting without us even realizing it.

But Jesus invites us into something better — the new way of the Spirit. A way marked by freedom, joy, and real connection.

This week on The Happy Family Coach Podcast, we’re unpacking Romans 7:1–6 in plain language, with real-life stories and practical ways to move from rule-driven to Spirit-led living.

💡 Your faith can feel alive again.
💡 Your marriage can thrive without scorecards.
💡 Your parenting can shape hearts, not just behavior.

🎙 Episode drops Wednesday, 8/20 — but today, let’s start asking:
Where have I been living in Law Mode… and what would it look like to invite the Spirit in?

London, you’ve officially stolen my heart. 🇬🇧💂‍♀️
Reese (my daughter) and I got to worship at in Central London this summer, and let’s just say… the praise was loud, the Word was fire, and yes — I may have cried a little. 🥹🙌
UK listeners, you are my second largest audience after the U.S., so this one’s especially for you. ❤️🎙️
New mini podcast episode drops this Wednesday — recorded on my phone while wandering the streets of London (forgive the audio, but love the heart). 💛

Six days in London with my daughter… memories we’ll never forget. 🇬🇧💛

But the truth? There have been so many moments in my parenting journey where I’ve felt unequipped and “not enough.”

God keeps reminding me — He doesn’t call the qualified. He qualifies the called. And He equips us as we walk with Him.

Episode 68 of The Happy Family Coach Podcast is for every parent who’s ever wondered if they were doing it right. 🎙

What if the person you’re blaming… is actually the mirror God is using to heal you?

For years, I thought the problem was him—his tone, his withholding of love, his rejection.
But I had no idea that I was carrying a plank of pride, pain, and fear…
And I didn’t know that Jesus wanted to set me free first.

In Episode 69 (coming this Wednesday), I’m sharing the part of my story I used to be ashamed of—and how Matthew 7:1–5, biblical counseling, and The Peacemaker by Ken Sande completely reshaped how I see conflict, ownership, and healing.

💔 If you’ve been hurt, stuck, judged, or judgmental… this one’s for you.

This is heart surgery. But it leads to real freedom.

💬 “Why would God choose me to lead this family?”
If you’ve ever asked that question through tears, exhaustion, or doubt—this is for you.

Jesus didn’t choose perfect people to carry His mission. He chose the messy ones. The impulsive, insecure, overlooked, and underestimated. And He still does.

You don’t need to be the most qualified parent—you just need to be the one who’s willing to show up, pray, and trust God with your child’s story.

📣 New Episode Drops Wednesday!

What if Jesus is asking you the same question He asked the man at the pool of Bethesda?

“Do you want to get well?”

Not just physically.
But emotionally. Spiritually. Generationally.

In this episode, I share one of the most vulnerable stories from my life—when I had no job, no money, no electricity, and two little ones to feed… and the healing God did in me before He ever changed my circumstances.

If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, clinging to pride, shame, or self-reliance… this one is for you.

🎧 Episode 74: Do You Want to Get Well? Confronting the Comfort of Brokenness with Jesus at Bethesda.
Let’s be a people who break free from emotional paralysis and generational patterns!

This one hits close to home.

Our youngest daughter just graduated from high school… and come August, we’ll officially be empty nesters.

And while my heart is bursting with pride and gratitude — I’m also feeling the ache, the identity shift, the waves of grief that sneak up when I least expect them.

This week’s episode is raw, honest, and deeply personal.
Because I’m not just talking about the empty nest — I’m walking through it in real time.
And if you are too… you’re not alone.

We’ll talk about:
• Honoring the grief (without guilt)
• Letting go with grace (not control)
• Staying grounded in identity and purpose
• And embracing the new season God is writing — even if it starts with tears

Episode 57: The Empty Nest – Grieving, Growing, and Embracing a New Season
Releasing this Wednesday, 5/14 on The Happy Family Coach Podcast.
