Hello Friends!




Merry Christmas y’all! This week, I'm sitting down with my real-life friend, Michelle Nietert to talk about helping our kids to end the year well. We also talk about what it is like to be a parent and some of the struggles that each of us has gone through this year.

A recognized expert in Solution Focused Therapy, she is the clinical director and owner of a large counseling center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Michelle's writing can be found on the MOPS blog, in Lifeway's Parenting Magazine and she is the Mental Health columnist for Just Between Us Magazine.

In this episode,  we discuss:

Reviewing the year with your kids- what went well and what didn’t?
How are our kids struggling with confidence and how has COVID impacted that?
How to allow our kids the freedom and the voice to speak their truth.
Practical tips from Michelle and myself on how to help our kids manage their own stress and anxiety.
