In honor of Mother’s Day 🤍 This short episode is a gentle reminder of just how much you truly contribute as a mom. So often, our days feel full of “I have to”—cooking, cleaning, working, helping—and it can quickly lead to overwhelm, stress, resentment, and disconnection. But what if we shifted that into “I get to”? In this episode, we explore a simple but powerful mindset shift from obligation to contribution, helping you see the purpose and impact behind the everyday things you do. From emotional support to caregiving, connection, and even your own personal growth—you are contributing more than you realize. If your days have been feeling heavy, this is your reminder: You are not just getting through your day… you are making a difference. 💛 Ways to Grow & Connect 🌿 Apply for The Grace-Minded Mom Coaching Program ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/181SEjz1FKJ-X7txovGEMptOpt8fIRknM/view?usp=sharing 📬 Email me directly: ➤ https://buildingyourselfwithgrace.kit.com/resources

In this short guided meditation, you’ll be invited to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your intuition as a mother. Inspired by Episode 26 and a heartfelt conversation with my mom—who raised children with autism—this space is for moms navigating autism, ADHD, or other special needs while feeling overwhelmed by constant advice, pressure, and the ongoing demands of caring for their child. Take a moment to release doubt, come back to trust, and remember: ✨ You are doing better than you think you are. ✨ You are exactly the mom your child needs. 🔗 Start Building Yourself with Grace Today! 🌿 Apply for The Grace-Minded Mom Coaching Program ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/181SEjz1FKJ-X7txovGEMptOpt8fIRknM/view?usp=sharing 📬 Email me directly: ➤ [email protected] 💌 Subscribe to The Grace Letter (weekly faith + mindset encouragement) ➤ https://buildingyourselfwithgrace.kit.com/resources

In honor of Autism Awareness Month 🧩💙 In this special episode of Building Yourself with Grace, I’m joined by a very special guest—my mom, Kristin LeBaron—as she shares her powerful journey raising children on the autism spectrum. At a time when there was very little information and support available, Kristin had to navigate uncertainty, difficult medical advice, and overwhelming challenges—all while learning to trust her motherly intuition and never give up on her children. In this conversation, we talk about what it really looks like to walk through autism as a family, how to recognize when something isn’t right, and the importance of advocating for your child even when others may not understand. Kristin shares practical wisdom for parents navigating an autism diagnosis, including seeking second opinions, finding the right support, and thinking creatively to meet your child’s unique needs. We also talk about the emotional side of motherhood—how to care for yourself in the process, trust your instincts, and continue showing up even when it feels hard. If you are parenting a child with autism, navigating a difficult season, or simply feeling overwhelmed as a mom, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone—and that you are exactly the mom your children need. With faith, persistence, and support, beautiful things can come from even the hardest situations. 🧩💙 Mentioned Resources Your Health Freedom Your Health Freedom is a Utah-based organization, dedicated to the promotion of informed consent.  https://www.yourhealthfreedom.org/  ✨ Quote by Lynn G.

There is no singular, perfect, absolute best way to be. There are hundreds of styles of good mothering, every one of which can turn out terrific kids. Some kids blossom best around a soft-spoken, gentle mother. Others like high-energy exuberance. Some kids need a tough, no-nonsense mom, while a sensitive, lenient one is right for another.

In this guided meditation, we gently walk through the Inside-Out Model from Episode 25. Helping you slow down, become aware of your thoughts, and understand how they shape your emotions, beliefs, identity, and actions. This is not about fixing yourself. This is not about shame, pressure, or perfection. This is about awareness… with grace. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in negative thought patterns, or unsure why certain emotions and behaviors keep showing up—this meditation will help you pause, reflect, and reset from the inside out. Together, we explore: ✨ The thought that has been leading your day ✨ How your emotions are revealing what’s underneath ✨ The beliefs your brain may be reinforcing (and how it looks for evidence to prove them true) ✨ The identity you’ve been living from ✨ And how to gently shift into who you want to become You’ll be guided to: – Notice without judgment – Understand your internal patterns – Choose a new, grounding thought – Step into a more aligned identity – Take one small, intentional action forward This is your space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with yourself—without guilt, without pressure, and without needing to have it all figured out. ✨ You are allowed to become… on purpose. ✨ You are allowed to grow… with grace. 🔗 Start Building Yourself with Grace Today! 🌿 Apply for The Grace-Minded Mom Coaching Program ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/181SEjz1FKJ-X7txovGEMptOpt8fIRknM/view?usp=sharing 💛 Join our free Christian Mom Facebook Community ➤ https://www.facebook.com/share/g/14HjgsAK1cz/ 📬 Email me directly: ➤ [email protected] 💌 Subscribe to The Grace Letter (weekly faith + mindset encouragement) ➤ https://buildingyourselfwithgrace.kit.com/resources

Happy Autism Awareness Month!🧩🩵 In this episode, I’m sharing something I learned while working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) that completely changed how I understand behavior—not just in kids, but in myself. We often think our actions just happen, but there’s actually a process happening underneath: our thoughts shape our emotions, our emotions influence our beliefs, our beliefs form our identity, and our identity drives our actions. When you begin to understand this “inside-out” model, it can completely shift how you see yourself, your patterns, and your ability to grow. In this episode, we’ll walk through: How your thoughts shape your emotions How emotions reveal your beliefs How beliefs form your identity How your identity drives your actions And how to begin shifting this from the inside out This is a simple but powerful framework that can help you move from feeling stuck to becoming more aware, intentional, and grounded in who you truly are. And most importantly, we’ll talk about how your true identity isn’t defined by your thoughts or your past—but by who God says you are. 💛 Ways to Grow & Connect 🌿 Apply for The Grace-Minded Mom Coaching Program ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/181SEjz1FKJ-X7txovGEMptOpt8fIRknM/view?usp=sharing 💛 Find Me on Instagram ➤ @buildingyourselfwithgrace 📬 Email me directly: ➤ https://buildingyourselfwithgrace.kit.com/resources

What do you do when everything feels like it’s fallen apart… especially financially? In this episode, I continue my conversation with Maguen Wilhelm as we talk about what it really looks like to rebuild after divorce or the loss of a spouse — not just emotionally, but financially.

Inside this episode, we talk about: 🌿 Starting from the bottom and why that’s okay 🌿 Letting go of shame and shifting your mindset around money 🌿 Practical steps to begin rebuilding (even when you feel stuck) 🌿 The power of mentorship and asking for help 🌿 Creating a new “money story” rooted in peace instead of fear 🌿 Trusting that God is with you — even in the unknown If you’re walking through a difficult season, I hope this episode reminds you: You are not behind.

If you’ve ever felt unsure of who you are outside of your roles — mom, wife, employee, caregiver — this episode is for you. In this episode of Building Yourself with Grace, we explore what it truly means to develop a solid sense of self. Not a version of you shaped by outside validation, approval, or productivity; but a grounded identity rooted in your core values. We talk about: What a solid sense of self actually is Why so many women develop a “reflected sense of self” based on others’ opinions How living outside your values creates internal conflict The connection between values, boundaries, and emotional resilience Practical steps to identify your top 5 values How alignment builds self-trust over time A solid sense of self begins with living intentionally in alignment with who you truly are and who you can become. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, this episode will help you reset, refocus, and rebuild from the inside out.   📌 Extras For This Episode Understanding Mom Guilt from the Inside Out Workshop Survey ➤ https://forms.gle/pB8pZjJJpJKpTi1A8 Exploring Parts or Emotions That Are Leading You Now ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qBFnZHwIidAVVQ1zK8PpKHjfcWRgRdE5/view?usp=sharing 8 C's of Self-Leadership Wheel PDF ➤ https://foundationifs.org/images/banners/pdf/The_8_Cs_of_Self_Leadership_Wheel.pdf   💛 Ways to Grow & Connect 🌿 Book Your Free 30-Minute Grace Reset Call ➤ https://calendly.com/buildingyourselfwithgrace/graceresetcall 🌿 Apply for The Grace-Minded Mom Coaching Program ➤ https://shorturl.at/w7XbS 💌 Subscribe to The Grace Letter ➤ https://buildingyourselfwithgrace.kit.com/resources 👩‍👧‍👦 Join our Free Christian Mom Facebook Community — Grace in the Mess ➤ https://www.facebook.com/share/g/14HjgsAK1cz/ 📬 Email me directly ➤ [email protected]

In this guided meditation, we build on Episode 21 and explore what it truly means to reconnect with your true sense of self through the 8 C’s of Self-Leadership. If you’ve been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, reactive, stuck in perfectionism, or led by emotions you don’t fully understand, this practice will gently guide you inward. You’ll learn how to recognize the “parts” of you that may be leading — such as the fixer, the planner, the judger, the avoider, or the anxious part — and respond to them with calmness, curiosity, clarity, and compassion instead of shame. Through simple breathwork and intentional reflection, you’ll practice connecting with yourself, thanking your parts for trying to protect you, and choosing one of the 8 C’s — calm, clarity, compassion, curiosity, courage, confidence, creativity, or connectedness — to lead your day. This meditation is a gentle reset for moms who want to stop being driven by emotion and start leading themselves with intention, peace, and grace. Take a breath. You are not broken. You are learning to lead yourself.   📌 Extras For This Episode Understanding Mom Guilt from the Inside Out Workshop Survey ➤ https://forms.gle/pB8pZjJJpJKpTi1A8 Exploring Parts or Emotions That Are Leading You Now ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qBFnZHwIidAVVQ1zK8PpKHjfcWRgRdE5/view?usp=sharing 8 C's of Self-Leadership Wheel PDF ➤ https://foundationifs.org/images/banners/pdf/The_8_Cs_of_Self_Leadership_Wheel.pdf   💛 Ways to Grow & Connect 🌿 Book Your Free 30-Minute Grace Reset Call ➤ https://calendly.com/buildingyourselfwithgrace/graceresetcall 🌿 Apply for The Grace-Minded Mom Coaching Program ➤ https://shorturl.at/w7XbS 💌 Subscribe to The Grace Letter ➤ https://buildingyourselfwithgrace.kit.com/resources 👩‍👧‍👦 Join our Free Christian Mom Facebook Community — Grace in the Mess ➤ https://www.facebook.com/share/g/14HjgsAK1cz/ 📬 Email me directly ➤ [email protected]

Have you ever felt like your emotions are running the show — like the fixer, the critic, the avoider, or the people-pleaser is leading your life instead of your true self? In this episode, we’re exploring what it really means to find your identity beneath the roles you carry as a mom. We’ll talk about how different “parts” of us can take over when we’re overwhelmed, stressed, or triggered — and how reconnecting with the 8 C’s of Self-Leadership helps us return to a calm, confident, compassionate core. This conversation will help you: • Recognize which emotions or parts may be leading you • Understand the difference between reactive parts and your true self • Begin reconnecting with your identity beyond the role of “mom” • Build a stronger, more grounded sense of self If you’ve felt lost, stretched thin, or unsure of who you are anymore — this episode will help you gently come back home to yourself. 📌 Mentioned in This Episode Understanding Mom Guilt from the Inside Out Workshop Survey ➤ https://forms.gle/pB8pZjJJpJKpTi1A8 Exploring Parts or Emotions That Are Leading You Now ➤ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qBFnZHwIidAVVQ1zK8PpKHjfcWRgRdE5/view?usp=sharing 8 C's of Self-Leadership Wheel PDF ➤ https://foundationifs.org/images/banners/pdf/The_8_Cs_of_Self_Leadership_Wheel.pdf   💛 Ways to Grow & Connect 🌿 Book Your Free 30-Minute Grace Reset Call ➤ https://calendly.com/buildingyourselfwithgrace/graceresetcall 🌿 Apply for The Grace-Minded Mom Coaching Program ➤ https://shorturl.at/w7XbS 💌 Subscribe to The Grace Letter ➤ https://buildingyourselfwithgrace.kit.com/resources 👩‍👧‍👦 Join our Free Christian Mom Facebook Community — Grace in the Mess ➤ https://www.facebook.com/share/g/14HjgsAK1cz/ 📬 Email me directly ➤ [email protected]
