I'm a cradle Catholic married to a non-Catholic. Once we had our three kids I knew I wanted to pass down my faith however this meant I was doing it alone with very little understanding or knowledge of the Catholic faith. Although I always attended Sunday mass I never really grow in my faith until much later in life. There always was however, a restlessness inside of me, sensing there had to be more. Around the time I was developing a true relationship with Jesus my kids were leaving the church. I have journeyed from guilt and regret to surrender and trust that God has a plan. My obedience to the Holy Spirit lead me to become certified as a Metanoia Mindset coach. I now want to unite and empower other mothers on a mission to bring our kids back to the church through the reflection of the work Jesus is doing in us.
My desire is to help mothers whose children have left the church, find purpose and a closer relationship with Jesus and their children. Dealing with their own acceptance, forgiveness and healing will lead to a freedom to guide and influence their children. The goal I want to help mothers achieve with their children is to know the best strategies to influence them back to the faith without being overbearing or nagging. To confidently keep their peace and hope amidst their child’s apostasy. Plus learn how to stay close with their children and keep the lines of communication open even when they are astray.
