We started a podcast!

My daughter left the church 10 years ago, and it was one of the hardest things I could imagine going through, but now we are closer than ever.

We’ve learned so much as we have been through this together, and finally we decided to share it all in the hope that it might help someone else who is going through it.

When your child left the church, you didn't lose them. But the way we communicate can either build a bridge or widen the gap — even when our intentions are pure.
The good news? A few small shifts can change everything.
If you're an LDS mom longing for a real, connected relationship with your adult child who has left the church — I want to help you find your next step.
🎁 I'm offering a free Family Reconstruction Roadmap Call — a 30-minute one-on-one conversation (by phone or Zoom) where we'll look at your specific situation and map out your path toward a trusting, connected relationship with your child.

What do you do if your grown-up kids leave the LDS church?

How do you connect with them in a way that’s loving and respectful, without losing your own faith?

Right now, I’m offering a Free Family Reconstruction Roadmap Call.

This is a 30 minute, one-on-one meet up via phone call or Zoom, where we can talk about all the hardest things-- the disappointment, the worry, the conversations that always seem to end with them pulling away even more.

You will leave this call with a clear plan for how to connect with your kid in a way that creates emotional safety for both of you, without having to sacrifice your testimony.
