The Happy Family Coach

The Happy Family Coach Podcast and services for families seeking generational healing. Do you know how parents are overwhelmed with the responsibilities of raising children?

Offering biblical counseling and faith-based coaching to break unhealthy patterns, improve relationships, and grow emotionally and spiritually. I hear from my clients all the time how frustrated they are with the meltdowns, talking back, helpless baby, sibling rivalry that takes place at home. Parents come in with feelings of guilt of being a "bad parent" - as if there is such a thing! I'm Danielle Alvarez Greer, AKA 'The Happy Family Coach'. I empower my clients to create clear boundaries so that they can enjoy a loving, harmonious and peaceful home life. I'm a mother, mentor, family coach and owner of The Happy Kid Toolkit™. The Happy Kid Toolkit™ treats unhappiness by teaching individuals how to take responsibility for their own happiness. I use The Happy Kid Toolkit™ to demonstrate how it is that we cause our own disharmony by believing the thoughts we think. My clients will have the opportunity to see how their own unhappy family and relationship dynamics play out, and why. Parents, children, professionals and individuals will leave each one-on-one coaching session with a set of skills/tools to use towards obtaining higher levels of happiness and satisfaction in all they experience in their daily lives and personal relationships. "As an engaging coach, speaker and teacher, Danielle never fails to entertain, provide laughter, and create an enjoyable learning environment. She not only speaks from the heart , she truly does “walk her talk” in how she lives her own personal and professional life, utilizing The Reality Formula™ and Happy Kid Toolkit™ in her own home with her two young children; Sawyer (13), and Reese (9)." ~ Lynne Forrest

This is my kind of therapy session.
A long fall walk. Two joyful dogs. Crunchy leaves. No one asking what’s for dinner. 😅🍂

Empty nesting has its hard days—but moments like this?
They remind me that healing doesn’t always look like journaling or deep conversation.
Sometimes it’s just being present.
Letting God meet me on the trail.
Letting joy sneak in through ordinary moments.
Letting the dogs run wild while I breathe deep and remember: I’m not alone.
And this season can still be beautiful. 🐾❤️

The new blog is live, and this one might be my favorite yet. 💫

If you listened to Episode 80—“God’s Presence Is the True Blessing”—you know we walked through Joseph’s highs and lows in Genesis 39.
But in the blog, I go even deeper… a little more honest, a little more real.

I talk about the moments when you do everything right and life still falls apart.
About how Joseph’s integrity wasn’t rewarded right away—and how God’s presence was still the real blessing.

I also share a few practical ways to stay anchored when life feels unfair (straight from the Happy Kid Toolkit)—so you can take these truths into real life, not just Sunday mornings.

You can read it now on the blog → [link in bio]
…and I hope it meets you right where you are today. 🤍

Ever have one of those seasons where you’re doing everything right—honoring God, keeping your heart pure, showing up—and somehow life still falls apart?
Yeah… me too.

That’s where Joseph found himself in Genesis 39. He did all the right things and still got falsely accused and thrown into prison. But through it all, Scripture keeps repeating one line that I can’t shake:
“The Lord was with Joseph.”

And that’s what this week’s episode is all about.
Because God’s presence is the real blessing—not the title, not the outcome, not the applause.
Just Him. Right there in the middle of it all.

✨ Episode 80: “God’s Presence Is the True Blessing” drops this Wednesday(10/22).
If you’re in a hard or hidden season right now… this one’s for you. 🤍

This morning, I was reading Job 38–41 and it stopped me in my tracks.

Like Job, I’ve questioned God before — wondering why things had to be so hard, why certain prayers felt unanswered, why the pain lingered.

And then… God reminded me who He is.

The One who spoke light into darkness. 🌤️
The One who commands the waves and tells lightning where to strike. ⚡
The One who holds galaxies together… holds me.

Not a single tear, fear, or question goes unnoticed by Him.

He is compassionate, sovereign, merciful, and mighty.

So today, I’m walking into my counseling sessions remembering: Our God is an awesome God — and He reigns. 🙌

Top 3 Reasons You Need to Join Me at the Renew & Restore Retreat:

1️⃣ Because you’ve been pouring out for everyone else… and it’s time to let God pour back into you.
You’ve been showing up for everyone — your family, your friends, your church. But when was the last time you slowed down long enough to just be still and let God fill your cup again?

2️⃣ Because healing doesn’t happen alone.
This retreat is a safe, Spirit-filled space for women who are ready to let go of the pressure, the pretending, and the pain. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll pray — and we’ll heal, together.

3️⃣ Because God isn’t done with your story.
He’s still writing. And this might be the weekend where He starts a brand new chapter in you — one filled with rest, joy, and peace.

That was then… this is now. 💛

Growing up, dinner tables were unpredictable — yelling, shame, anger, and fear. I never knew what version of “family” I’d be walking into.

But God. 🙏

By His grace and wisdom, I’ve been able to raise my family differently — with peace, prayer, laughter, and honest conversation. No more chaos. No more walking on eggshells. No more generational trauma.

Last night, we gathered at one of our favorite spots in Chattanooga — good food, deep faith talk, and prayer over one another. 🍷✨

This is what healing looks like. This is what breaking generational chains looks like.

God makes all things new. 🌿

💔 Betrayal cuts deeper than almost any wound.
When trust is shattered — by a spouse, a friend, a parent, or even a leader — it can feel impossible to forgive, let alone heal.

But here’s the truth: forgiveness doesn’t mean pretending it didn’t happen. It doesn’t mean instant reconciliation. It means handing the weight to God, setting wise boundaries, and letting Him restore what was broken. 🕊️

In Episode 79 of The Happy Family Coach Podcast, I’m walking with you through:
✔️ The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
✔️ Why trust must be rebuilt with fruit of repentance
✔️ How to set boundaries without building walls
✔️ How to step off the Unhappy Kid Triangle and into freedom

🎙️ Listen now on October 15 → Healing from Betrayal & Broken Trust.

Fall reminds me how God uses change to bring beauty and renewal. 🍁🍂🍎

Today it looked like crisp air, laughter, hayrides, and apple turnovers with Reese and my sweet niece Yasmine. Moments like these are reminders that healing doesn’t just happen in counseling sessions or retreats — it happens in the everyday rhythms of life, when we slow down long enough to notice God’s goodness. 💛

Wherever you are this season, may you find beauty in the letting go and peace in the becoming.

10/11/2025

It’s happening again. ✨
