EP 72 //Control vs Connection: Parenting Through Provocative Moments

Hey Sweet Friends!

Today’s episode comes straight from the heart — and honestly, straight from real life. I’m sharing a very personal story about my 16-year-old daughter, some bold concert outfit choices, and the powerful choice I had to make as her mom: do I reach for control, or lean into connection?

This conversation isn’t just about parenting. It’s about healing what we were taught about modesty, our bodies, and what it means to be “good” girls — especially if, like me, you grew up in the church.

We’re diving into: ✨ Why I chose conversation over criticism ✨ How I navigated my own discomfort around her clothing ✨ The shame messages we internalized as girls (and how they still show up) ✨ What God really wants for us — and our daughters ✨ And why choosing connection doesn’t mean abandoning boundaries

This episode is for the mamas… and the inner daughters inside all of us who were told to shrink, cover up, and be quiet.

💛 Come continue the conversation with us inside my new Facebook group! It’s a space for women rising in motherhood, healing, and wholehearted living.

With so much love,
