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.

In this episode, Emily talks about the two kinds of kids we often see—those who say yes to everything out of FOMO, and those who avoid every invitation out of fear. Whether your child never wants to miss out or never wants to join in, both patterns are rooted in fear. And the solution isn’t pushing them into or out of activities…it’s teaching them to ask one powerful question: “Jesus, where do You want me right now?”

Emily shares practical ways to anchor your children’s decision-making in God’s voice—not pressure, fear, or comfort. From birthday parties and sports practices to everyday invitations, she gives real examples of what it looks like to pause, ask, listen, and obey. You’ll hear stories from her own family, including a surprising moment when God told them to turn around on the way to practice, and a powerful testimony of obedience that literally saved a man’s life.

If you want to equip your kids to follow God with courage, wisdom, and discernment—whether the world is pulling them in or their fear is holding them back—this episode will show you how to start today.

In this episode, Emily shares a gentle reminder for the days that don’t go as planned—especially when quiet time gets skipped, mornings get messy, and life feels full. She unpacks why God isn’t asking us to perfectly “put Him first,” but instead invites us to let Him be the center our whole lives turn around. From newborn seasons to dishes in the sink to carpool lines, Emily shows how every moment becomes sacred when we do it with Him. This conversation will help you release the guilt, embrace grace, and remember that God is with you in all of it—right where you are, right now.

Motherhood can feel chaotic, mundane, and full of moments that stretch us thin—but joy is still there, waiting to be found. In this episode, Emily reminds us to pause and notice the small, beautiful moments God sprinkles throughout our days: the quiet of a clean home, a child’s hug that lingers a little longer, or a worship song that fills the car with peace. Finding joy is not accidental—it’s a choice and a practice that points our hearts back to gratitude and to God.

It’s not easy to follow through with consequences—especially when we’re tired, worn thin, or just want peace at the end of the day. But what if our follow-through is about something bigger than behavior? In this episode, Emily shares how God’s unwavering faithfulness shows us the importance of keeping our word. When we parent the way He parents us—with consistency, honesty, and love—we become the kind of parents our kids can truly trust.

What if your car wasn’t just a way to get from place to place — but a moving extension of your Kingdom home? In this episode, Emily shares how God transformed her perspective of the car from chaos and correction to peace and purpose. Learn how to turn your daily drives into moments of connection, worship, and Kingdom atmosphere — so every ride becomes an opportunity to carry God’s presence wherever you go.

What do you do when love hurts — when the people closest to you say or do things that wound your heart? In this episode, we unpack what it means to stay rooted in Christ while navigating pain, setting healthy boundaries, and choosing connection without losing peace. Through Scripture and real-life examples, you’ll discover how to love deeply, forgive freely, and let God heal the places that still ache.
