New View, Part 2 - Unilateral Shift #1


{part 2}
Last episode covered part one of this unilateral shift, the first in a series of three shifts that I’m talking about throughout this month of April when I’m recording these episodes, so if you have not yet heard part one, you might wanna go back and listen to that episode and otherwise, let’s dive in where we left off…

Easter Expectations for Adoptive Moms


WHAT ARE YOUR EASTER EXPECTATIONS?

Hey ladies, today I wanted to share a bonus podcast episode as we go into the Easter weekend — today is Good Friday, the day that historically we think about when Jesus was crucified and then after tomorrow on the third day, on Sunday, the resurrection as Jesus came to life again as he had conquered death and also paid the price for all the sins of all the world. So this is a very important and key weekend in our Christian faith, and understandably one that we want to share with our families and with our children. 

But, if you’re like me, not all of your children or your family is following Jesus or following the Christian faith or your Christian values and what’s important to you. So while Easter may be the most important weekend, celebration and most pivotal holiday of the entire year for you or for me, it is not viewed the same for everyone. and it may not be the same for the other members of your own family so there might be some tension.

Dawn Baggett & Post Adoption Coaching

 

Hi there, I'm Dawn Baggett! 🎉

As a mom in an adoptive family that includes the blending of biological and adopted children, I've been through it all—navigating attachment issues, trauma, and the challenges & chaos that has both tested and refined my Christian faith.   

In addition to my own personal experience, a law degree from the University of Alabama and various coaching certificates, my research & observations of the experiences of others have brought invaluable insights into supporting adoptive moms like myself. 

I truly believe in the power of faith-driven coaching to support "second moms" navigating the unique challenges of raising children with complex backgrounds. My mission is to stand with you, offering guidance and understanding when the rest of your world seems unsure how to help.

If you're ready to continue your journey with a desire to walk out your faith in your family and mom roles, I'm here to be in your corner. Let's connect and explore how we can put together a personal plan that serves you! 💪

With love,
Dawn
