The Happy Family Coach Podcast - Break Generational Cycles of Dysfunction, Heal Past Wounds, Transform Your Faith, Learn Relationship Skills, Practical Parenting Strategies, and Whole Person Wellness

In Acts 19:23–41, we see a full-blown riot break out in Ephesus after the gospel disrupts the city’s economy, pride, and idol worship. What started with one man’s complaint turned into hours of shouting — and most people didn’t even know why they were there.

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking what really happened in Ephesus that day and why mob mentality still spreads so quickly in our culture. I’ll show you how this same pattern sh...

Are you living in “Law Mode” without even realizing it? In this episode, we unpack Romans 7:1–6 in plain language and explore how legalism can quietly creep into your faith, your marriage (yes, even intimacy), and your parenting. You’ll hear real-life stories, practical examples, and biblical wisdom to help you move from rule-driven to Spirit-led living.

We’ll talk about the difference between measuring your worth by your performan...

While traveling through the UK with my daughter Reese in July 2025, we had the incredible privilege of worshipping at Hillsong Church Central London. The praise was powerful, the Word was rich, and the Spirit of God was moving in a way that reminded me — His Kingdom truly has no borders.

In this special mini episode (recorded on my phone as a voice memo while in London — so forgive the less-than-perfect audio quality!), I’m sharing...

What if the person you’re blaming in your life right now is actually the mirror God is using to heal you?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:1–5—about planks, specks, and the kind of heart work that leads to real change. I share part of my personal story, including how I spent years blaming others for how I felt, how I didn’t know Jesus during most of my first marriage, and how I eventually came to un...

Ever feel like you’re not cut out for parenting? Like someone else would do a better job raising your strong-willed, emotional, or struggling child? In this episode, we look at Luke 6:12–16 and the unexpected team Jesus chose to change the world—and how that speaks directly to your role as a parent.

Jesus didn’t pick the most qualified. He picked the willing. The messy. The emotional. The overlooked.

And He’s doing the same with yo...

What if the thing keeping you stuck isn’t your circumstances—but the comfort you’ve found in them?

In this powerful, Spirit-led episode, we unpack the story of the man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5:1–15 and the question Jesus still asks us today:

“Do you want to get well?”

Through deep biblical teaching, real-life examples, and personal stories from my own seasons of brokenness—including the years following my divorce and a rec...

What if the way you show up in marriage, parenting, and conflict isn’t who you truly are—but a role you learned to play as a child to survive dysfunction, earn love, or avoid pain? In today’s powerful and eye-opening episode, we will peel back the layers of childhood dysfunctional roles—like The Fixer, The Rebel, The Black Sheep, The Hero/Golden Child, The Invisible Child, The Responsible One, and The Peacemaker—and discover how th...

Have you ever been told you’re too intense, too sensitive, too emotional, or just too much? Maybe you’ve spent years trying to tone it down, keep the peace, or avoid being misunderstood. But what if those parts of you were never a problem to fix—but a gift to steward?

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on what real strength looks like. We’ll talk about why we learn to shrink, how shame gets passed down through generations, ...

You’ve been called strong. You’ve held it together, pushed through, and shown up for everyone else… But deep down, you're exhausted—and maybe even a little angry.

In this episode, we confront the lies we've been taught about strength—especially as Christian women and men—and uncover the truth: that real strength isn’t about self-reliance, but Spirit-dependence. Danielle shares what strength looks like in godly women and godly men, ...

You’ve been praised for being the dependable one. The spiritual one. The “strong” one. But underneath the smile and the to-do list… you’re exhausted. You feel disconnected. Burnt out. Maybe even a little numb.

This episode is for the woman who’s holding it all together on the outside—but feels like she’s crumbling on the inside.

In this honest and healing conversation, I’m exposi...

Hey friends. Today’s episode is one I believe every parent, mentor, and believer needs to hear. Because we are living in a world that is discipling our children—faster, louder, and often more convincingly than we are.

Our kids are being shaped by social media, school agendas, political noise, and cultural confusion. And the Church? Too often, we’ve either retreated in fear or reacted in pride. But what if there’s a better way?

In t...

Hey friends—this episode is personal. And honestly… it’s been a long time coming.

I’ve sat quietly and watched the Church, our culture, and even our families get pulled apart by politics, performance-based Christianity, and culture wars dressed up as “truth.” I’ve wrestled with what to say—and when to say it. But today? I’m done staying silent.

In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to follow Jesus in the middle of the ch...

Have you ever spent time with God—read your Bible, gone to church, whispered a prayer—and still walked away unchanged?

Yeah. Me too.

In this episode, I’m diving into a passage you’ve probably never highlighted—Ezekiel 46:8–10—but it’s one that absolutely wrecked me in the best way. It says:

“No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate.”

That’s not just a temple rule. It’s a ...

Hey friend,

This episode comes straight from my heart—and from a powerful passage in Ezekiel 47 that’s been speaking deeply to me.

In this vision, a river flows from God’s temple, and everything it touches comes to life—even the Dead Sea. And I couldn’t help but think… What if that’s what our homes are meant to be like? What if the Spirit of God wants to flow through your family—bringing healing to places that feel dry, stuck, or b...

Do you ever feel like you’re doing everything you can as a mom… but still end up yelling, giving in, and then feeling completely defeated? You’re not alone—and you’re not a bad parent.

In this episode, I’m diving into why so many parents—especially single moms and Bossy Helpers—struggle to follow through with discipline. We’ll unpack the emotional cycle of guilt, fear, and people-pleasing that keeps us stuck, and I’ll show you how ...

I recorded this episode with tears in my eyes — because it’s not just something I’m teaching, it’s something I’m living. Our youngest daughter just graduated from high school, and come August… I’ll officially be an empty nester.

If you’re in this season too — or you see it coming — I want you to know: you are not alone.

In this episode, I’m sharing my own raw, real journey of what it looks like to:

• Grieve this transition with...

If you’re celebrating a graduate this season, this episode is for you.

Whether you're a mom or dad, mentor or grandparent — if your heart feels both full and fragile right now, you’re not alone.

In this episode, I want to help you do more than throw a party or snap a few photos. I want to help you bless your graduate — with intentional words that speak identity, truth, and destiny over their life.

We’ll talk about the power of bibl...

What if the words “We need to talk” sent you spiraling—not because of what your spouse said, but because of what it triggered in you?

In this raw and redemptive on-air coaching session, you’ll meet Paul—a husband of 30 years, father of five (including two in their teens), and a man who’s spent decades avoiding conflict, shutting down emotionally, and fearing that deep down… he’s a failure. While his wife carried the weight of paren...

Is your child the one who melts down the fastest, argues the loudest, or just always seems… harder to parent than the others?

Do you ever find yourself asking: 👉 “Why is this so hard with this child?” 👉 “Am I doing something wrong?” 👉 “What if I mess them up?” 👉 Or worse… what if something is wrong with them?”

You are NOT alone. And your child is not broken.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, I’m pulling back the cur...
