What does your typical day look like?
My husband and I have three kids so days around here stay fun and lively! Getting everyone off to school as carefree as possible is the first goal. Once everyone is settled, I usually have two to four clients I see for coaching and counseling through my business, The Reclaimed Soul. In between clients, I work hard to make time for my besties. They truly are the MVPs, keeping me mentally sane! I also love serving as a foster parent mentor with the Foster Care & Adoption Association of Oklahoma.
What makes you feel proud?
I am proud to see people take time to extend kindness to their own selves. It’s hard work, but it changes everything. I am proud to see others be patient and truly see the heart of another. Relationships are so healing. I am proud to see our family be an example of forgiveness and grace.
Who is the biggest influence in your life? Why?
Overcomers inspire me! Every one of us face situations that seem insurmountable. To see and walk with people who want to grow inspires me to keep growing too.
What’s been the biggest obstacle in your life so far?
Marriage and parenting. We work hard to personally grow and when we do our personal work, our marriage reaps those benefits. Every day we are married deserves a parade! Parenting kids from hard places is something that challenges and grows me every single day. I’m continually learning so much about how to best connect and build trust with our kids and their first families.
One year from today, how do you hope you’re different?
I hope my heart is softer for myself and for other people. I hope I am more connected to our children and to their first families. I hope I am continually learning how best to relate with and understand people who are different from me.
What’s the single biggest problem you’d like to solve in your community?
Relational Poverty. Teaching people to better relate to themselves and to the world around them.
What advice do you wish you could give your younger self? How might it have changed your course?
You are loved. There is no need to try so hard at getting others to love you. You are worth so much more than what you are settling for. You. Are. Loved.
