If You’re a Mom Who Loves Her Kids But Feels Miserable… This Is for You

You’ve probably laid awake at night worrying about your children

Most Moms Come to Me Carrying One (or More) of These Fears

  • "I failed as a Mom"

    When your child struggles or chooses a different path, it can feel like proof you got it wrong. The regret, second‑guessing, and shame can be just as painful as the situation itself.

  • “I Don’t Know If My Child Will Be Okay”

    You’re worried about the path they’re on and where it might lead. The worry is heavy, and you’re tired of carrying it alone.

  • "I’m Losing My Relationship With My Child"

    Texts go unanswered, conversations are short, and you’re never sure what’s safe to say anymore. The distance hurts more than the conflict ever did.

You may feel:

  • Constantly worried about your teen or adult child

  • Responsible for their happiness, success, or mistakes

  • Confused about what to say — or afraid of saying the wrong thing

  • Stuck between wanting connection and wanting to protect yourself

  • Guilty for feeling frustrated, sad, or exhausted

And maybe you’ve wondered…”Why does this feel harder now than when they were little?”

I want you to hear this first:

👉 Nothing has gone wrong.
👉 You are not failing as a mom.

What’s hurting you — and your relationships — isn’t you doing it wrong or your kids behavior.
It’s a handful of beliefs that feel true, but quietly create fear, guilt, and distance.

Hi, I’m Sara!

I work with midlife Christian moms who feel discouraged, worried, or disconnected in relationships with their teens or adult children — and don’t know what to do next.

I know how heavy this season can feel.

I’m a mom of adult children, an adoptive mom, and a mom who has experienced deep loss. I’ve lived through joy, grief, regret, and seasons where faith felt tested — not theoretical, but real and personal.

What I’ve learned (often the hard way) is this:
Shame, fear, and trying harder don’t heal relationships.
They only make things heavier.

Through my own healing work, I learned tools that helped me release guilt and regret, stop living in constant worry, and show up differently with the people I love — especially my kids. Not perfectly. But with more calm, clarity, and peace.

That’s why I do this work now.

I help moms understand what’s really driving the tension or distance with their children — and how to change their side of the relationship in a way that feels loving, grounded, and aligned with their faith.

Not to control outcomes.
Not to fix their kids.
But to stop carrying so much weight alone.

You’re not broken.
You haven’t failed.
And God is still at work — even here.
