Emily shares a deeply personal story from one of the hardest seasons of her motherhood journey—a time marked by postpartum depression, exhaustion, and feeling completely overwhelmed. In this episode, she speaks to parents who feel stuck, discouraged, or unsure how things will ever change. Emily reminds listeners that hope is not lost, and that God brings restoration one step at a time. She explores the role of intimacy with God, mentoring, and inner healing in transforming both parenting and the heart behind it.

If your toddler is hitting, spitting, or melting down and you feel lost, overwhelmed, or ashamed—you’re not alone. In this episode, Emily unpacks what hitting really means developmentally, why it’s not a sign of “bad parenting,” and how to respond with strength, love, and emotional safety.

Drawing from real-life coaching conversations, she shares practical tools you can start today: stepping away from negative behavior without withdrawing love, giving your child words for their big feelings, understanding their developing brain, and offering connection—even when they “don’t deserve it.”

You’ll walk away with a fresh sense of peace, powerful mindset shifts, and simple steps to help your home stay rooted in grace while teaching your toddler how to treat others with gentleness and respect.

In this episode, Emily unpacks the deeper heart issue behind kids (and adults) who always have to be right. It’s not defiance — it’s identity. When a child fights correction, shuts down, or argues endlessly, it often reveals a fear that being wrong makes them unlovable. Emily shares how parents can respond with the heart of the Father, teaching kids they are loved whether they’re right or wrong, and helping them grow into teachable, connected, and confident children rooted in God’s unconditional love.
