Episode 122.5 // Friday Faith Followup
One of the quickest places where moms get stuck in the problem-solving process is in the step of brainstorming ideas for what to do differently.
You might quickly identify what’s wrong and what you want to be different. But if you jump straight to trying a random idea, it’s unlikely to work super well. It’s much more helpful to walk through the process that we talked about in our last episode, so that your action plan is made for YOUR family and the unique situation you’re in.
But coming up with ideas of what to try can feel tricky.
So today, I want to jump start that process for you. I’ll share 6 small things that you can do TODAY (and every day) that will boost your family relationships
No matter what problem you might be facing, these ideas will be helpful. And they’re really just a jumping off point!
Grab my free e-book for deeper help in problem-solving the things that are getting in the way of building healthy family relationships. You’ll get lots of support there with brainstorming (and really, with the whole process). But today, let’s get a few quick ideas out there.
Ready to get started? Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess

Episode 121.5 // Friday Faith Followup
Mama, you cannot pour from an empty cup.
I know that you’ve heard that phrase before. It might feel cliche, impossible, or been-there-done-that. But the thing is, as we’re looking this week at how to give our best, focused, positive attention to our family… you can only do that if YOU are experiencing focused, positive attention too.
And that starts with Jesus.
The Lord delights to spend time with you, encourage you, fill you up, and lead you in the busy days of motherhood. He is always ready to listen and respond.
Join me today for a short devotional looking at how important it is (and how we can do it) to build intimacy with God before we try to pour energy into building intimacy with our family.
Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess
