{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…

ACCEPTANCE OVER ACCOUNTABILITY

One of the most transformative shifts a Christian mother can make is moving away from the conventional lens of personally holding our teens accountable for their problem behaviors towards a stance of acceptance. Acceptance doesn’t mean you like or agree with their choices, or approve problem behaviors.

MOM ROLE QUESTION:

When you think about your mom role I want you to ask yourself — and you can journal about this and pray over it but ask yourself — What do you realistically want your mom role to be like, and what do you think is standing in the way?

I’d like you to get a notebook, journal or pad of paper for a journaling exercise today about how you envision your role as mom in the current season or the season that’s right around the corner. What obstacles are you currently running up against?

Dawn Baggett & Legacy Life Coaching

Hello - I’m Dawn Baggett and I want to welcome you to Legacy Life Coaching. I believe Christian coaching to be the best avenue for standing in the gap for adoptive moms and other “second moms” raising children with a history of broken attachment with their first moms and possibly other additional trauma in their backgrounds.

As an adoptive and special needs mom, I know firsthand the challenges that arise when navigating the intricate world of parenting in the midst of complex family dynamics.

As a post-adoption coach, it's my mission to stand in the gap for second moms. There’s no erasing their history or the effects of our children’s first parents, or the traumas of losing them.

Along with my experiences as a mom, my legal education, experiences and life coach training have given me a unique perspective on how to approach and overcome obstacles that are often a part of these complex families, from trauma-based challenges, to attachment-related difficulties, to the lack of recognition and understanding of family, friends and even those in the current systems - medical, mental health, legal and educational - that are often ill-equipped for these types of challenges as I know first-hand.

Additionally, through my training, research and observations of other moms in similar situations, I’ve gained invaluable insights that can be applied to even the most baffling of circumstances.

My best clients will be willing to do the work to successfully continue the legacy of faith they’ve already begun. If that describes you, then contact me to find out how you can put me in your support corner as your personal post adoption mom coach.
