A new year is starting... so get a jump start on those goals with one of these FREE resources!
As a marriage and family therapist, I have always been a big fan of resources. I like having something to physically give to clients. Things we can all hold in our hands and look back to when we're feeling distracted or overwhelmed.
If that sounds pretty good to you, I bet this sounds even better... THEY'RE FREE!!
Yes, I do have several devotionals that I've written over the years that are also awesome, but not free. And there are some 30-day challenges in the shop and some printables in my Etsy shop.
But today, let's talk FREE. Here are the links, if you want to grab one (or all) and jump start those new years goals:
FREE EBOOK - Building Your Mom Toolbox: 5 Skills Every Mom Needs To Get Your Family Out Of The Rut And Reconnect
FREE Conflict Resolution Cheat Sheet
FREE 45-day Bible and Prayer Guide
FREE Journaling Prompts for Christian Moms
FREE list of 100 Ways To Love Your People Well
FREE list of 51 free Self Care Ideas
And of course... this podcast is FREE so I hope you'll subscribe to the show, leave a 5-star review for encouragement, and copy the link to text it to a friend who could use some biblical encouragement and practical tips in the new year.
Welcome to 2025, friend! I'm so glad you're here.
hugs & blessings,
Jess
