What is a VIP Day Intensive? And how can this help me?
Very good questions!! 🤗
As a Christian adoptive mother, you’ve embraced a unique calling. Many of us are blending our families made up of both biological kids and adopted kiddos. Or more than one adopted child.
It’s not uncommon to face intense dysfunctional behaviors and patterns that can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the best path forward.
As a fellow Christian adoptive mom, I understand the non-traditional path we're on. Bringing together a blended adoptive family is an incredible and meaningful journey, filled with love and God's purpose. But, let's be real—it also presents its own set of challenges beyond the run-of-the-mill variety. Behaviors and patterns you (or those around you) never expected or encountered before can feel daunting, leaving you unsure about the right steps to take
Whether you're raising adopted children, stepchildren, or the children of relatives, you're navigating an incredible journey filled with both significant challenges and rich rewards.
As we venture into this new year, it's the perfect time to consider how we can set healthy personal boundaries that empower us to thrive as individuals and parents. Boundaries are essential for setting yourself up for success as a second mom!
Most adoptive moms and other second moms have lots of ideas, expectations, wishes & dreams about being successful in their new mom roles.
But as a practical matter, even after years in, second mom will often have a fuzzy definition (if any) of what it means for her to truly be successful in this non-traditional role. Or how this role impacts the other roles, relationships & areas of her life.
We get stuck wondering things like,
“How can I get her to stop lying?” or
“Why won’t he do what I say without blowing up?”
When you’re unsure what to do, it’s hard to move forward & easy to feel like you’re failing.
