EmotionalLY Strong(ish) Parenting
7 Shifts for a Resilient and Jesus-Centered Home
Parenting can feel like survival—permission slips, driving permits, lost cleats, and meltdowns in aisle seven. But what if the chaos is where God’s forming something deeper in you: emotional wholeness that could transform your family for generations?
Trade reactivity and shame for emotional resilience rooted in the gospel.
Books
Emotionally Healthy(ish) Books
Books that are honest and full of practical wisdom for people that want to grow, not just get by.
“Being a mom to three young children is beautiful, but it can be exhausting. This book was an absolute breath of fresh air. Janel provides down-to-earth, highly practical advice that doesn’t feel overwhelming to implement. Best of all, it is rooted in gospel truth, offering grace for the mom while giving actionable steps to keep your cool. Highly recommend for any parent in the thick of parenting!”
