Life rarely unfolds as we expect. When faced with one of my hardest challenges—navigating my daughter’s incarceration and addiction—I had to confront my own expectations and learn to accept life as it is, not as I wished it to be. It’s a lesson I’m still working on, and I invite you to explore this journey with me.

Yes, we love them! So so much it hurts! But there is a way to find our own freedom despite your loved one’s choice to remain in addiction. This is my story.

Life has a way of testing us, again and again. Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a cycle of anger or regret, weighed down by past hurts?

On a recent visit with my daughter, our conversation turned to forgiveness. She was at war with herself, and as a mother, the most painful part of this conversation was knowing that I couldn’t just take the pain away. I wanted to reassure her that she’s more than her past. But how do you protect your child when the battle is inside of them? How do you fight for them when the one hurting them most is their self-imposed shame and regret?

I know that battle all too well.

As children grow and become young adults, something changes. You watch them make their own choices, and sometimes those choices break your heart. You want to protect them from making mistakes, but you can’t. And that’s where the real struggle begins.

Learn how to love your young adult child through tough times without losing your peace. Discover how to set healthy boundaries, prioritize self-care, and support their growth while maintaining your own emotional well-being.

Nothing shifts your perspective quite like sitting across from someone who has fought battles you can’t even imagine—still standing, still trying, still hoping.

So many of us live in a state of constant stress—chronic worry, people-pleasing, codependency—without realizing how deeply it’s harming us. If we don’t learn to protect our peace, it will break us.

Fear and anxiety have become an epidemic. Everyone is anxious and worried all the time. But has worry or anxiety ever gotten you anywhere? For me, it’s only kept me stuck, frozen in fear, and unable to move forward (because you sure can’t go back!).
