Family Seasons by Coach Teia

Being a single mom is not a curse! No matter how we arrived at the destination of parenting alone, we must understand that God has a plan for our families also. Intentional parenting is met with many challenges and obstacles. We must remain committed to the task at hand. As a single mom, I am blessed, my children are blessed, and our home is blessed. I speak blessings and expect favor over my family. Words have power. These positive words of affirmation that I have spoken over my two daughters since birth, are being manifested in their lives daily. I don’t have this attitude because everything is perfect or because my children are perfect, for we are imperfectly serving a perfect God. I understand that my words have power! Recently, God downloaded a word for single mothers that I felt led to share on the podcast. These are intended to not just be words of actions but also words of actions. I discuss the power of forgiveness, duplication, and implementation. Let’s change the trajectory of our children’s lives. Single mom, I see you! Listen to this episode of Family Seasons Podcast if you are a single mom. I promise you, it will bless you and your family abundantly. www.familyseasonspodcast.com Coach Teia ❤️

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a previously recorded conversation that I had with my mom, Mildred Jones. During this episode, both she and I talked about her love for her family and for God. We discussed her strengths and her weaknesses. We talked about her faith during her illness. Today and always, I honor the legacy of my mother, Mildred Jones (10/9/41 - 3/13/21).

Thank you so much for listening to Family Seasons Podcast. Today's podcast is to give parents hope and inspiration about the favor that is already upon their children's lives.  There's absolutely nothing that compares to the favor of God. And let the [gracious] favor of the Lord our God be on us (Psalms 90:17 AMP) The Bible. When we have the favor of God, we have an advantage. We can expect God's blessings and promises to come to pass on our lives.  Listen to this podcast to learn how I began to activate that favor over my children.  As always, thank you for listening. Please visit www.familyseasonspodcast.com for the latest episodes.  I'm praying for your family to win! - Coach Teia

When we fill our hearts with gratitude, we open the door to unexplainable miracles. - Coach Teia     For the month of January, we will be discussing gratitude and the importance of showing gratitude at all times. That's not to say that we're always grateful for everything that happens. It means that we find something to be thankful for in all situations.    “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”  ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬    Follow us this month as we share more about gratitude and thankfulness at  www.familyseasonspodcast.com.    Coach Teia & Damian Dalcour  #coachteia #familylifecoach #familymatters #familycoaching #motivational #familyfirst #fightforyourfamily #celebrateyourkids #parentingcoach #familyplans #familyvision2020 #characterdevelopment #blendingfamilies #familiespraytogetherstaytogether #familiesunite #marriageworks #changeyourlife #prayforfamilies #gratitudeexpert

Being grateful in all areas of your life is essential, including in the workplace. In this episode, we discuss why it is important to show gratitude towards your employees and your colleagues. When we show that we appreciate others who make our work easier, we create an atmosphere of gratitude that flows throughout the workplace. Listen to this amazing podcast on gratitude to be inspired for building an organization that truly values one another. Visit www.familyseasonspodcast.com to hear more about showing Gratitude in this new year of your life. Thanks for listening!

Thank you for joining us for Season 13 as we continue talking about Gratitude. In this episode, my cohost and I discuss the importance of showing gratitude in our relationships.  Gratitude builds stronger relationships by creating an attitude of appreciation and respect. When there is a lack of gratefulness, there is also a lack of trust and honor. Relationships suffer when there is no gratitude.  Let's spend more time building relationships that practice gratitude daily.  Thanks so much for listening. Coach Teia - Your Family Life Coach www.familyseasonspodcast.com

Teaching our children about gratitude is so important. When we teach them to be grateful and thankful beyond their emotions, we are instilling a sense of gratitude that will last a lifetime. As adults, our role is to encourage children to express appreciation for all of the things that they have. We can do that by being an example of a grateful person. Thanks for listening and sharing!

Stay the course.  Listen to the podcast at www.familyseasonspodcast.com to hear me describe each one of these tips.  As always, thank you for listening, and Happy International Podcasters Day! - Coach Teia #coachteia

A Prayer for Women Today: Today’s episode is dedicated to women. May you find God's peace and presence as you listen to this podcast. May He bless you abundantly.  Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God 91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” 3 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the [a]fowler And from the perilous pestilence. 4 He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and [b]buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. 8 Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall [c]bear you up, Lest you [d]dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. 14 “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will [e]set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With [f]long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.” Source: Bible Gateway Thanks for listening, Coach Teia www.familyvision2020.com

Welcome to Season 12 of Family Seasons by Coach Teia!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Thank you so much for your continued support for this podcast of sharing hope and inspiration to families. In Season 12, the focus is taking care of our mental health. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Stress continues to be one of the biggest challenges that many people face. We are often more stressed than we realize. By the time that we realize it just how stressed out we really are, our bodies have often already suffered in some way or another.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As a former caregiver for many, many years, I experienced stress and burnout. As a parent, I understand what it’s like to be overwhelmed. As a business owner, often the responsibilities can get overwhelming..I get it.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In season 12, I’ll share my personal experiences of how I had to learn to deal with everyday things by creating balance. I’ll share what that balance looks like for me. I’ll teach you how to define balance for you and your family. *Balance has to be individually designed by you as you learn to set priorities.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ll share the impact that stress and anxiety began to have on my life and what I did to release it. I’ll also invite guests to share their own experiences of taking care of themselves and the impact that it has made.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Thanks for listening to Family Seasons by Coach Teia at www.familyseasonspodcast.com.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’m praying for you!⁣⁣ - Coach Teia

How Do You Define Balance for Your Family? 1. Erase the definition of balance you’ve always known and create what it looks like your family only 2. Set your priorities in order of Immediate, Later, and Whenever. Be sure to include self-care and family time as top priorities. 3. Write it down and place it around the house for everyone to have it. 4. Be flexible. Life events will change how your family defines balance. Make adjustments as needed. 5. Offer forgiveness and grace when you fall short of your plans/schedule. Things won’t always go as planned and it’s okay. 6. Reward yourself and family when you’ve accomplished things that you planned. For more information or to schedule a coaching session for this topic and more, visit www.familyvision2020.com. Warmly, Coach Teia

There’s nothing like being falsely accused and hurt by someone that you love. To know that someone you’ve done so much for or spent so much time has falsely accused you can be devastating. It’s natural to be hurt and disappointed by the accusations but it’s better to get through it. The word of God warns us against trials and tribulations. John 16:33King James Version 33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. - Coach Teia & Damian Dalcour www.familyseaonspodcast.com

I recently read a Facebook post that my cohost, Damian, had posted. In his post, he was sharing his personal viewpoint on what a woman being ‘wife material’ meant to him. Here is an excerpt of what he says: Real talk... She no longer classifies herself as "Wife Material", because she clearly understands that material is PARTIAL, not WHOLE. You don’t find a suit or a dress in the material section of a store, you find material in the material section. While that material has the potential to become a suit or a dress, it is merely potential, until it has gone through the process of becoming. When a woman classifies herself as “wife material”, what she is saying is that she has the potential to be a wife, but hasn’t been processed. What few women realize, is that the unmarried man who is seeking a wife, is looking for the woman who is ALREADY a wife (not literally), not the woman who has the potential to become a wife. Are you a wife, or are you wife material? - Damian After reading this, I suggested to him that we should talk about on the podcast..and so here we did. I’d love to know your thoughts on this topic. What makes a woman a wife, or wife material? Email us at info@coachteia.com to share your thoughts. In the meantime, have a great day! Coach Teia

How far would you go to protect your family? Do you know how you would react to someone harming your children or other loved ones? In this podcast, I ask a very important question..How Far Should We Go To Protect Our Loved Ones? If we react, are we prepared to deal with the consequences of our decisions? When should we get involved and when is a better time to let the person handle their own issues? These are just a few questions discussed in this podcast. I’d love to know what you think. Send an email to info@coachteia to respond or to send show topics. Thanks for listening and supporting! Coach Teia & Damian Dalcour

Can men and women really just be friends? How do you define a platonic relationship? These are questions that we discuss in this week’s podcast. As cohost and friends, Damian and I have great respect for one another, especially our friendship. As platonic friends, we share support for one another and the responsibility of our podcasting relationship. We understand that our purpose is to be the friend that one another needs while still maintaining healthy balance. Let us know what you think. Can men and women truly just be friends without any attached strings. Email us at info@coachteia.com. Visit us at familyseasonspodcast.com. Thanks for listening! Coach Teia & Damian Dalcour

Learn how to keep your mind productive even during rest. There’s danger in both idle hands and minds, according to the word of God. Proverbs 16:27-29 Living Bible 27 Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece.[a] 28 An evil man sows strife; gossip separates the best of friends. 29 Wickedness loves company—and leads others into sin.[b] Thanks for listening and sharing! - Coach Teia www.familyseasonspodcast.com

What started out as just a personal conversation between my daughter and I turned into a candid conversation with three teen girls. We discuss the effects that colorism and racism has had on these three young ladies and many more. As a black woman myself, I’ve experienced many of the things these young ladies discuss, I understand. Hopefully, these conversations will begin in the homes of our listeners and continue in the classroom and into the boardroom. It’s time for change!

God Can Do All Things But Fail - Recently I was listening to one of my favorite songs that shares this same message. I thought about how much assurance this song gives us in knowing that God cannot fail. In life, we’ll all experience man’s failure. We’ll also fail others, although it is not our intentions. To know that God cannot fail teaches us that we can trust Him with every issue of our lives. He can be trusted. I pray that this podcast will bless your life in a way that encourages you to put your trust in God. He cannot and will not fail! www.familyseasonspodcast.com

As many of us know, the holidays can already be quite stressful. The urge to make the perfect meals or to find the perfect gift is enough to put anyone in mental overload. Add on losing a loved one or facing the holidays with the loss of a family member and that makes it even more challenging. In this week’s podcast, my cohost and I talk about how we navigate the holiday season after the death of a loved one. We discuss ways to remember them in special ways during the holiday season. After losing two of the most important people in my life this year, I personally share how my family and I are preparing to remember them by creating new traditions. Navigating the holidays during the holidays is hard and extremely challenging but we must go through this process of grief. Thanks for listening to Family Seasons by Coach Teia & Damian Dalcour!

At a recent garage sale for our Girl Scout Troop, I noticed two women who gave us donations. There were others who gave donations but because I know a little about these women, their giving made a huge impact. Listen to this week’s podcast, Making Sacrifices, to hear more about their impact. Remember, God loves a cheerful giver: “Now [remember] this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to others] will also reap generously [and be blessed]. Let each one give [thoughtfully and with purpose] just as he has decided in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [and delights in the one whose heart is in his gift].” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9:6-AMP Thanks for listening and sharing. As always, we are praying for you! Teia & Damian www.familyseasonspodcast.com

Join us for this week’s new podcast alert Delayed Gratification! How do you feel about waiting for things to happen? What do you do while you’re waiting? Is it worth it to keep waiting?

Thanks, Coach Teia www.coachteia.com

Reciprocity is the act of mutual exchange. It involves both giving and receiving. It requires mutual respect and support for another. When practiced in relationships, particularly parenting, there’s a level of gratitude and appreciation present. Listen to the conversation that my daughter and I shared about our experiences in practicing reciprocity. It has made all the difference in our family dynamic!

Many of us have or will experience some type of trauma that causes us pain. This pain can so easily lead to unforgiveness. Personally, I recognize that unforgiveness leads to hatred, brokenness, despair, and so much more. It becomes heavy to carry the load of unforgiveness. I knew that in order for me to live a healthier life, I had to forgive. God’s word teaches us that forgiveness is necessary in order to enter the kingdom. God knows that it’s sometimes hard, yet it’s a requirement to truly living a kingdom life. “and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:32‬ ‭KJV‬‬ There’s freedom in forgiveness! - Coach Teia

“Surely there is a future [and a reward], And your hope and expectation will not be cut off.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭23:18‬ ‭AMP‬‬ Are you living with expectations? What are those expectations? In today’s podcast, we’re diving into the subject of Living With Expectations. As we reflect on this topic, be mindful that God has already promised us that surely, our expectations will not die. They will manifest! www.coachteia.com or familyvision2020.com

Are You Leading By Example? - Children are looking for someone or something to mimic. It’s their natural instinct. - As their parent, you are there first role model. They are learning both directly and indirectly. They observe everything! - Show them your scars. Let them hear some of your mistakes. Let them know about decisions you made that were not the best. You don’t want to be their idol, you’re human. - Be who you want them to be. www.familyvision2020.com

There are generally 4 different parenting styles that you hear discussed most often: permissive, authoritative, authoritarian, and uninvolved.⁣ ⁣ The most healthiest style is one that offers guidance, discipline, areas of creativity, and intentional parenting, also known as authoritative.⁣ ⁣ Listen to the podcast as I discuss these four styles and give examples of each.⁣ ⁣ Where do you measure your parenting style?⁣ ⁣ Let’s talk about it. ⁣ ⁣ Coach Teia ⁣ www.coachteia.com

Compromise is about meeting one another halfway. In parenting, specifically with preteens and teens, I believe that compromise is essential. In this episode, I share a personal experience of how compromising has helped me validate my children’s thoughts and ideas. When we compromise in certain situations, we’re finding neutral, yet common ground. Listen to this podcast and share with others. Thanks always. ~ Coach Teia

Grace & Mercy are freely given to us daily by God. Grace offers us compassion and understanding while mercy gets us out of receiving the punishment we often deserve. Parenting requires offering grace and mercy to our kids just as God offers it to us. That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t discipline our kids. It means that when we do, let’s remember God’s grace and mercy. Coach Teia www.coachteia.com

As a Christian Family Life Coach and a mom, my job is to help other families learn how to discipline in a healthy way. The Bible tells us to “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” ~ Proverbs 22:6 Healthy Discipline Tips: 1) Never Discipline out of anger, 2) Discuss the expectations and rules of the home beforehand and often, 3) Be cautious of the words we use, 4) Define the end result of discipline, and. 5) Talk about the situation later.

The time comes when the Eagle pushes her eaglets out of the nest. Her intent is not to harm them. She knows that at some point, unless she pushes them into their flying position, they’ll become too big for the nest and they’ll never learn to fly on their own. That’s the same with parenting. Our responsibility is to teach our children to someday become independent, well-rounded adults. It starts when we push them out of their comfort zone and into their purpose. They’ll never know how well they can fly if we allow them to resist every thing they’re not comfortable doing. We have to push them into the things that’s holding them back like fear, intimidation, disbelief, low self-esteem, etc. Like the Eagle, we don’t push them to harm them. In fact, it’s our love for them that makes us take the initiative to do it. Listen to the latest podcast episode as I discuss this personal topic and the power of the push. Coach Teia 💜 www.familyvision2020.com

Happy Father’s Day to our listening audience. In this podcast episode we’re talking to both the men who want to be a part of their kid’s life but can’t and to the women who are not allowing it because of various reasons. Damian shares his personal experience of not being a part of his son’s life. He shares the pain and hurt he’s experiencing each day without his son. I also share how being healed from the hurt of my relationships helped me realize that my daughters needed their dads. Despite our failed relationships, my girls deserved to not be in the middle of our disagreements. I hope that this episode will help you make the best decision for the child. Thanks for listening and sharing! Coach Teia & Damian www.coachteia.com

Strongholds are defined as anything that keeps or hinders you from living your intended purpose. At some point in all of our lives we’ve had something or someone hindering our growth. Maybe we’ve been the person selfishly holding on to someone. Maybe we’ve noticed our kids in unhealthy relationships. Maybe you’re dealing with a stronghold now and don’t know how to break it. What we do know is that God wants us free. He wants us available to live out the life He’s prepared for us. I hope that this podcast will help you determine if there’s something holding you back from God’s very best for you and how to break free from it. Strongholds were meant to be destroyed. Coach Teia

In this Sunday Vibes, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, I’m discussing Self-Care. Did you know that no matter how fancy or expensive a car is, if it’s on empty, it’s of no benefit to anyone? If you’re running on empty as a mom, dad, caretaker, entrepreneur, etc you have to find ways to replenish or refuel. As you’ve heard many times before, you cannot pour from an empty glass. You can’t give what you don’t have. Self Care is essential to managing your mental health. If you’re unable to function properly, you’ll find yourself operating at a disadvantage and dysfunctional. That helps no one in the long-run, especially those you love. Listen to this Sunday Vibes as I discuss ways to care for yourself so that you can better care for others. Take care of you!

The tongue can bring life or death, Proverbs 18:21.⁣ Our words can build or they can destroy.⁣ When we’re talking to our kids, it’s very important to remember that once something is said, it can’t be erased.⁣ We can ask for forgiveness of something we said but unfortunately the damage has already been done.⁣ As Bishop Jakes recently mentioned, a pen has no eraser. ⁣ For this reason, we must remember that words, both bad and good, are etched into the hearts and minds of our kids.⁣ What we tell them is what they become.⁣ What are you telling your kids?⁣ ⁣ -Coach Teia ⁣ www.familyvision2020.com⁣

Finding your purpose is this week’s Sunday Vibes.

Forgiveness is hard, especially when there’s pain, hurt, and many unresolved issues. Join this conversation that my cohost and I have on forgiveness and trust. We’re candid about this deep topic.

Change is hard but it’s necessary. When change occurs, creating a new normal is vital. After losing my mom recently, I’m in the process of creating a new way of life for my family. It will not be easy but I understand that it’s essential for my growth. If you’re going through a loss of any kind, please join me on this journey at www.familyseasonspodcast.com

In Season 6, we’re continuing to talk about all the seasons that families experience. In today’s episode, we’re talking about losing my mom and how we must learn to live a life of purpose.

When we choose to live a life that impacts others, that gives our life purpose. www.familyseasonspodcast.com

Have you ever has to clean up after a storm or some other life changing event? The damage left behind is often more difficult to deal with than the event itself. Listen as my cohost and I discuss ways to deal with the aftermath of life’s storms.

Our state of Texas was recently hit by a major winter storm that was devastating to so many. Millions lost their power, no water, food, or lodging. It was devastating to say the least. It forced most of us to quickly move into survival mode. We found the best way to keep our loved ones safe and warm. For parents, our ultimate goal was to make sure that our kids were okay. In this podcast episode, we’re discussing ways to prepare for storms, both physical and otherwise.

Have you ever been in a storm? I can imagine that in that storm, it was uncomfortable. It seemed as if it would never end right? Last week the state of Texas went through a natural storm that was totally devastating. It seemed as of it would never end. This Sunday Vibes talks about how I weathered that storms and storms of life.

The other day I heard Bishop RC Blakes talking about the three types of men: healthy, broken, and toxic. I listened to his Instagram post several times. I even sent it to a few people. This message immediately made me think of not just men, but women also.  As a Family Life Coach, I see families and parents on a regular basis. I would say that these three categories are befitting of parents and other adults. Healthy people want others to be healthy. They share and show their support.    Broken people have been hurt and are, unfortunately, still in that place of hurt. They've never gotten over the things that happened to them in their past. Sometimes, they can be loved back to health. Other times they are so broken that they become toxic. Broken people are challenging to love.  Toxic people are often broken people that never recovered. They were abused, not they are an abuser. They were hurt, now all they do is hurt. Healthy, Broken, and Toxic..which are you? - Coach Teia www.coachteia.com

One of the main things that keep us held back from embracing our future is not letting go of the past.

According to the Child Mind Institute, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is actually major depression that changes when seasons change. Fall and Winter are most prevalent because of the shorter days, getting darker sooner. As a parent, when are children are hurting, we hurt also. We want to take away the pain that they are going through. We tend to blame ourselves when in reality, some things are really not our fault at all. In this podcast, I share my own story of being a mom and helping my daughters navigate through this pandemic and all the changes that they have been forced to make. Many children are dealing with depression because their schools have closed or they can no longer be with friends.  I hope that this podcast will help you as much as it helps me in both my professional and personal life. As suggested, if you feel that your child is depressed or dealing with SAD, please reach out to their pediatrician or the Child Mind Institute at childmind.org. You don't have to go through this alone and help is out there for your family. As always, I am praying for your family to win! - Coach Teia www.12daysofpodcast.com or www.coachteia.com

Let’s face it, parenting is rewarding but it’s tough. Especially when we spend more time focusing on our weaknesses or the things that are children are doing wrong. When we learn how to focus on their strengths and acknowledge their positive traits, it changes the whole mood of the home. During this holiday season there are so many ways to encourage your children to operate from their strengths. Encouragement will teach them be more positive. www.12daysofpodcast.com

I hope that you’ll be inspired to create some family fun traditions this year in the kitchen after listening to this podcast.

Does your family have any special holiday traditions? If not, I don’t think it’s ever too late to start some this year. It can be anything that you’d like. For my family it involves decorating, hanging out Christmas lights, making reindeer food, and playing family games. Your tradition could be feeding the homeless on Christmas morning or donating toys to those who are less fortunate. It doesn’t have to be something big but it will leave a huge memory for your family and anyone else involved.

Are you looking for ways to create peace in your home? Listen as my special guest and I discuss how to command a peaceful environment. www.12daysofpodcast.com

Making yourself a priority is essential during the holiday season and everyday. By doing so, you’re showing your family, friends, and others how to respect your necessary boundaries. Self care involves taking time for yourself, taking a mental and physical break, meditating, laughing, moving your body and whatever makes you feel worthy. You matter in this world. Take care of yourself! Love, Coach Teia

As Christians, we believe that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is about the agape love of God to give us His only son to save the world. God was the first giver on Christmas. We share in that spirit of given when we give gifts to our children, our loved ones, and others in need. Not just on Christmas, but each day should represent the love for each other. www.12daysofpodcast.com

It has been said that gratitude brings a peace that is indescribable. 2020 has caused many of us to question whether there is truly anything to be grateful for. Many have lost jobs, our homes, loved ones, our financial security, and so much more as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our children have gone from attending a school building to taking virtual classes from the kitchen table.  Some once bragged on their overflowing pantries to waiting in line for hours at the food bank to feed the family. 2020 has been tough no doubt but in all of that, there are still so many things to be grateful for.  Listen to this podcast as I reflect on the things that we should still be grateful for. When we change our perception, we create peace that helps us get through these tough times.    Today, I challenge you to change your perception. When you decide to be grateful, it changes everything. - Coach Teia, Your Family Life Coach www.coachteia.com I really want your family to win.

When we refuse to acknowledge the racist acts going on in our communities, are we becoming a part of the problem. People asks what can they do to get involved and the answer is simple..say something. Protestors are walking the streets of America right now saying that they believe the racist acts against blacks is wrong. They believe that with their voices, change will take place. The protests are against racism, not a race. The anger is about how so many blacks are killed by racist white cops and racist white people. The looting and the protests are two completely different things but two different groups of people with two different motives. When we remain silent, we feed the racism.

The Coronavirus has cause a pandemic for our world. Most of us have been affected, particularly our children. The world as they know it has seemingly stopped without warning. The stores have closed. Schools are now closed so learning at home is the only option. Extracurricular activities that they were once involved in have all ceased. They are probably asking questions. I believe that if a child is old enough to ask a question they should receive an age appropriate (or mental capacity) answer. In this podcast I’m sharing ways to make this a learning opportunity that will benefit our children during this pandemic and in their everyday lives. Learn more at www.coachteia.com

Sherri describes how she was once the caretaker of her own child, so she understands firsthand what the millions of caretakers in this world experiences. What both Sherri and I both know is that caretakers must find ways to care for ourselves. As she mentions in the podcast, Sherri has been to more funerals for the caretaker than she has the patient. For myself, taking walks or even doing a little retail therapy after dropping my mom off at dialysis does wonders. I also like to take my daughters out on short road trips each week just to get them out of the sick environment and to help them still enjoy their childhood.

As Christians, The Bible commands us to honor our father and mother as it pleases God and adds value to our own lives (Ephesians 6:1-3). For many of us, including myself, respecting the years of hard work that our parents have sacrificially given to us, makes this commandment a lot easier to endure. When I think of how my parents committed to giving my siblings and I a healthy, well-rounded life as children, I'm able to fervently care for my mom today with that same level of commitment. Just as my mom fed, bathed, and clothed me as a child, I now care for my mom today in that same capacity. Sometimes our lives are not 'as picture perfect' as we'd like. We don't get to choose what families we are born into. We often have childhood experiences that could completely eradicate us. For some, it did. But for others like Deanna, the reigns of life must be taken back by the tiny morsel of strength that we have left. We do get to choose how the context of our lives is written in the present. Deanna chose to accept her mom's inabilities as the compass of providing her own daughters with a healthier definition of motherhood. Perception is everything!

In life, we all know that pain is inevitable. At some point in our lives, we’ll be faced with things that hurt, damage, and destroy (or attempt). How you deal with that pain can make all the difference in the world. Learn how to use that pain to fuel your purpose and bring peace back into your life.

In this episode, my 14 year old daughter and I discuss 7 tips of communicating more effectively with one another. We hope that this will be a great resource to your family as you work to create synergy in your home. 1. Have such a strong communication that you all can talk about ANYTHING without judgment. 2. Don’t take everything personal. 3. Realize it’s just a season. 4. Be the confidant not the best friend..just to keep the level of respect you’ll need throughout these years. 5. Allow room for their own creativity. 6. Be supportive not so critical. 7. Remember to breathe and have fun!

I think we can all admit that parenting gets tough. It’s the toughest just that many of us will ever have BUT it’s also rewarding. There are no manuals or guides that come with these little bundles of joy on delivery day. However, I have chosen to use the Bible as my guiding force to help me raise my daughters. According to the Bible, children are a blessing and deserve to be admired as such. Using the word regret is a pretty big word. I do realize that children aren’t always planned nor do they always come at the most opportune time in our lives. However, according to the Bible, every person born had a predestined future even before they arrived. That means to me that God knew every one of these children were on the way. Let’s talk about here and then follow me on my FB page www.facebook.com/coachteia to discuss it more.
