Parenting and Relationships Through Faith Shifts
Because your evolution shouldn’t cost you your family.
When Your Faith Changes… and Your Relationships Don’t
You’re Growing. They’re Confused. Now What?
There’s nothing quite like the heartbreak of expanding spiritually while trying to stay connected to people who don’t — or can’t — understand.
Maybe your partner is still “all in” and thinks you’ve lost your testimony.
Maybe your kids are asking questions you don’t know how to answer.
Maybe you’re trying to show up for your parents without betraying yourself.
Navigating parenting and relationships through faith shifts doesn’t just impact your spirituality — it rearranges your entire relational world. And if you’ve been taught that unity means uniformity, you may be terrified that growth equals loss.
It doesn’t have to. But it does require new tools, deeper honesty, and boundaries rooted in love and self-respect.

These downloads are for the quiet moments — when you’re lying awake wondering if your marriage can survive, or how to explain to your kids why you’re different now. Take what helps, leave the rest, and know you’re not alone.
You’re Not Selfish for Growing. You’re Courageous.
One of the biggest lies we’re taught is that staying connected means staying the same. That’s not true.
You can love your spouse, your parents, your kids — and still evolve. You can ask new questions, change your values, and still belong to your family. But it takes work.
I’m here for that work. It’s hard and sacred and messy — and you’re not doing it wrong if it feels that way.
