What does Joyful Courage mean to you?

Joyful courage to me means being able to experience every single day me, authentically, doing exactly what brings me joy, whether I have courage or not I’m going to step into it because on the other side there is joy. Oh and lots of green stuff and water! I think joyful courage is just really living an authentic life that leads you to joy.

See you next week!! 🙂

Living Joyful Courage MEMBERSHIP
Community and Coaching for moms raising adolescents

You know how I am so passionate about supporting parents in our journey through the teens years…  You have seen me really niche down and offer resources and coaching for this super special parenting season.

And YOU know that I believe that community is EVERYTHING, right?

Well, I am creating the MOST amazing community space for moms navigating the tween and teen years — the Living Joyful Courage Membership.

The terrain gets ROUGH when we move into the adolescent years with our kids…  Even the most committed “positive parenting” mom may be finding herself out of her depth when the challenges start to show up. 

It’s messy.

And moms need a place and a community that can be the soft landing for her to roll around in the messiness. A place that celebrates the challenges as opportunities for personal growth and discovery. A place that puts relationship first – relationship with self, with our kids, with the world around us.

I am really just teasing you with this right now. Doors will open for this magical space mid April…  If you are interested in being on the wait list to find out more go to www.joyfulcourage.com/ljc.
