Just Call Me Coach

Recently I was listening a podcast called “Revived Motherhood” by Becky Thompson. She is amazing and a blog author as well. She is so encouraging and uplifting. The episode I am referring to is #6, and she had an interesting take on why we are tired sometimes as parents and I think you will like it too. Being a parent is exhausting, you are constantly juggling a million things at one time and trying your best to love each child the best way you can. I love how in this podcast she talks about feeling like she is a coach, her kids are the players, and she is coaching different teams trying to prepare each child for a different opponent and the opponents change all the time. The opponents being a math test, dealing with a friend, something that causes your child anxiety or struggling with sight words, etc. This really resonated with me because I feel this way with my girls. At the end of some days I am so mentally exhausted that I don’t even know my name.. lol. There are most days when I feel like I am having to coach them all…

Can you come out of the hard times stronger together or stronger apart? I fully believe that marriage makes you a better person. It challenges you to grow as a person all the time. You are going to have disagreements with each other, but it’s how you choose to face them whether your marriage grows or becomes stagnant. We were married at the very young age of 19.. yes I know crazy! lol. Our relationship before kids was incredible, we had our hiccups but we had so much fun; we were literally the expression of young, dumb and in love. I think when everyone gets married you think that it won’t happen to you or that you will be better than that. We won’t ever fight like that, we will never go to bed angry or I will never yell at my spouse or…
