58. Why You Can’t Follow Through (and How to Change It Without Losing Your Kids’ Love)

27:35

Have you ever spent time with God—read your Bible, gone to church, whispered a prayer—and still walked away unchanged? Yeah. Me too. In this episode, I’m diving into a passage you’ve probably never highlighted—Ezekiel 46:8–10—but it’s one that absolutely wrecked me in the best way. It says: “No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate.” That’s not just a temple rule. It’s a prophetic picture for us today. You’re not supposed to leave God’s presence the same way you came in. Not in your quiet time. Not in your marriage. Not in the way you parent, react, numb out, or cope. In this episode, I’m walking you through what this means for your daily life—how to stop walking back into fear, shame, control, and old patterns… and how to let the Holy Spirit lead you through a new gate. We’ll talk about: How we get stuck in cycles, even when we say we want change What this passage means for your marriage and your kids The gates we often retreat through (and the ones God is inviting us into) Why you don’t have to walk through it alone—because Jesus goes in and out with you There’s a reflective moment with journaling prompts and a prayer at the end—so don’t skip it. This one’s personal. This one’s sacred. Let the Lord meet you today. Let Him lead you somewhere new. Don’t walk back into the same old patterns. And don’t leave the way you came. xoxo, Danielle 💛 Ready to go deeper? 📥 Download the FREE 14-Day Teen Devotional: You Are Not Alone Includes a parent guide → Download here 🎯 Take the UHKT Role Quiz Which one do you default to in conflict? → Discover Your Go-To Position 🌿 Join me for the Women’s Healing Retreat: Renew & Restore September 18-21 in Chattanooga, Tennessee → Reserve Your Spot 🛠️ Get the Happy Kid Toolkit The system that changed our family → Buy Now 💬 Book a 1:1 Biblical Counseling or Family Coaching Session Let’s walk this journey together → Book a Session 🎉 Join the private Facebook community → The Happy Family Coach Podcast Community 📲 Follow me on Instagram: @thehappyfamilycoach for daily encouragement…

59. God’s River of Healing: How to Break Generational Patterns in Your Marriage & Parenting 44:58

12 days ago44:58

44:58

Hey friend, This episode comes straight from my heart—and from a powerful passage in Ezekiel 47 that’s been speaking deeply to me. In this vision, a river flows from God’s temple, and everything it touches comes to life—even the Dead Sea. And I couldn’t help but think… What if that’s what our homes are meant to be like? What if the Spirit of God wants to flow through your family—bringing healing to places that feel dry, stuck, or broken? Whether you’re: Exhausted from parenting on empty, Navigating marriage tension and disconnection, Or recognizing generational patterns you want to break but don’t know how— This episode is for you. Together, we’ll explore: Why true family healing starts with you —at the altar, in God’s presence What it looks like to parent from the river, not the swamp How the Unhappy Kid Triangle (UHKT) might be playing out in your home—and how to get off of it How the Happy Kid Toolkit can equip your family to respond with truth, not reactivity And how the Holy Spirit is inviting you deeper—not to strive, but to surrender I’m not speaking as someone who has it all figured out—I’m walking this out too. Jack and I have had to relearn how to communicate with grace. I’ve parented from fear, from control, and from burnout. But I’ve also watched the river of God’s Spirit heal what I thought was beyond repair. This episode is an invitation—not to fix everything overnight, but to step into the flow of God’s presence… and trust that where the river flows, everything will live. Let’s go there together. Love, Danielle 💬 Reflect with me: Where am I in the river—ankle-deep, waist-deep, or fully surrendered? Am I parenting from peace… or panic? What cycles stop with me? 🎧 Hit play and meet me in the river. I’ll be waiting. 💛 Ready to go deeper? 📥 Download the FREE 14-Day Teen Devotional: You Are Not Alone Includes a parent guide → Download here 🎯 Take the UHKT Role Quiz Which one do you default to in conflict? → Discover Your Go-To Position 🌿 Join me for the Women’s Healing Retreat: Renew & Restore September 18-21 in Chattanooga, Tennessee → Reserve Your Spot 🛠️ Get the Happy Kid Toolkit The biblical conflict resolution game that changed our family dynamics → Buy Now 💬 Book a 1:1 Biblical Counseling or Family Coaching Session Let’s walk this journey together → Book a Session 🎉 Join the private Facebook community → The Happy Family Coach Podcast Community 📲 Follow me on Instagram: @thehappyfamilycoach for daily encouragement…

I recorded this episode with tears in my eyes — because it’s not just something I’m teaching, it’s something I’m living . Our youngest daughter just graduated from high school, and come August… I’ll officially be an empty nester. If you’re in this season too — or you see it coming — I want you to know: you are not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing my own raw, real journey of what it looks like to: Grieve this transition without guilt Let go with grace (not control) Reclaim your identity in Christ — beyond the role of “mom” or “dad” And embrace the new dreams, callings, and healing God has for you in this next chapter We’ll also talk about how to stay emotionally grounded using the Happy Kid Toolkit and how to recognize when you’re slipping into unhealthy emotional patterns like helplessness, control, or resentment — and how to come back to truth, peace, and purpose. This episode is for every parent who’s released a child into adulthood and felt the ache, the beauty, and the holy weight of it all. Grab a tissue. Take a deep breath.

In this episode, I want to help you do more than throw a party or snap a few photos. I want to help you bless your graduate — with intentional words that speak identity, truth, and destiny over their life. We’ll talk about the power of biblical blessing, the questions teens are silently asking in this season, and how your voice can anchor them in truth before the world tries to name them.

Let’s honor it well — with courage, blessing, and hope. xoxo, Danielle 💛 Ready to go deeper? 📥 Download the FREE 14-Day Teen Devotional: You Are Not Alone Includes a parent guide → Download here 🎯 Take the UHKT Role Quiz Which one do you default to in conflict? → Discover Your Go-To Position 🌿 Join me for the Women’s Healing Retreat: Renew & Restore September 18-21 in Chattanooga, Tennessee → Reserve Your Spot 🛠️ Get the Happy Kid Toolkit The system that changed our family → Buy Now 💬 Book a 1:1 Biblical Counseling or Family Coaching Session Let’s walk this journey together → Book a Session 🎉 Join the private Facebook community → The Happy Family Coach Podcast Community 📲 Follow me on Instagram: @thehappyfamilycoach for daily encouragement…

55. When Conflict Feels Like Failure: A Christian Dad’s Journey from Shame to Servant-Hearted Leadership 1:06:49

6 weeks ago1:06:49

1:06:49

What if the words “We need to talk” sent you spiraling—not because of what your spouse said, but because of what it triggered in you ? In this raw and redemptive on-air coaching session, you’ll meet Paul—a husband of 30 years, father of five (including two in their teens), and a man who’s spent decades avoiding conflict, shutting down emotionally, and fearing that deep down… he’s a failure. While his wife carried the weight of parenting and discipline, Paul played the peacekeeper—the one the kids liked. But underneath that was shame, silence, and a fear of rejection that kept him from stepping into godly leadership. Now, after years of passivity and defensiveness, Paul is waking up to the damage that silence has caused—and to the grace that still meets him right here. You’ll hear Paul wrestle with one of the most honest confessions a Christian man can make: “I’ve been a Christian my whole life… and I behaved this way. I should’ve been better. I feel ashamed.” But here's the truth: There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). Being a Christ-follower doesn't mean never messing up. It means knowing where to go when you do. In this conversation, you’ll learn how to: ✅ Recognize how shame and fear fuel defensiveness and emotional withdrawal ✅ Take thoughts captive (2 Corinthians 10:5) and respond with humility ✅ Identify your role on the Unhappy Kid Triangle (UHKT) and how to get off it ✅ Step into Spirit-led leadership as a husband and father ✅ Ask for forgiveness, repair emotional ruptures, and practice reconciliation ✅ Understand sanctification—not as perfection, but as a repeated return to grace and growth through the Holy Spirit 🎧 If you’ve ever thought, “I should’ve known better by now…” this episode is for you. You are not disqualified by your failure. You are invited into transformation. xoxo, Danielle 💛 Ready to go deeper? 📥 Download the FREE 14-Day Teen Devotional: You Are Not Alone Includes a parent guide → Download here 🎯 Take the UHKT Role Quiz Which one do you default to in conflict? → Discover Your Go-To Position 🌿 Join me for the Women’s Healing Retreat: Renew & Restore September 18-21 in Chattanooga, Tennessee → Reserve Your Spot 🛠️ Get the Happy Kid Toolkit The system that changed our family → Buy Now 💬 Book a 1:1 Biblical Counseling or Family Coaching Session Let’s walk this journey together → Book a Session 🎉 Join the private Facebook community → The Happy Family Coach Podcast Community 📲 Follow me on Instagram: @thehappyfamilycoach for daily encouragement…

Are you stuck in the cycle of anger, control, and blame? Do you find yourself lashing out, overpowering others, or feeling constantly frustrated when things don’t go your way? Maybe deep down, you feel like a victim, but your response is to push harder, fight back, or make others "do things right." If so, this episode is for you. In Episode 48 of The Happy Family Coach Podcast, we continue our Unhappy Kid Triangle Mini-Series by diving into The Blaming Bully Role—the mindset that justifies blame, control, and attack in the name of self-protection.

Do you ever feel powerless—like life is happening to you, and no matter what you do, you just can’t move forward? 👉 Maybe you’re waiting for things to change. 👉 Maybe you’re hoping someone will step in and rescue you. 👉 Maybe deep down, you believe you don’t have what it takes to handle what’s in front of you.

(Romans 8:11) In this episode, we’re diving into: ✅ What the Helpless Baby role is & why it keeps us trapped in frustration. ✅ How to recognize the signs in your life & relationships. ✅ Why willpower alone won’t set you free (and what will). ✅ The real cost of staying stuck in this role. ✅ How the Holy Spirit leads us into true strength & freedom.
