When we forget the beauty—and necessity—of a mother's tenderness and a father's strength?In our newest video, we explore what the Church has always taught: that men and women are different by design, and that children flourish best when raised by both a mom and a dad.Fr. Cristino joins us for this important conversation about complementarity, dignity, and what's at stake when we ignore the God-given roles in the family.Support the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

Self-confidence isn't arrogance. It's not pretending to have it all together. It's not thinking you're better than other people.In fact, most people who exhibit that brand of self-confidence are actually over-compensating for their lack of confidence.Real self-confidence is a quiet, steady belief in yourself. It's knowing you can handle what life throws at you—even if you're afraid or if you fail. Self-confidence is built on trusting yourself, not just your abilities.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

Many years ago I heard a quote by St. Josemaria that spoke about how we should love our husband as our first, most precious child.I couldn't find the exact quote, but when I heard the message of loving my husband as I would love my first, most precious child it hit me hard.In my marriage course, "Foundations of a Happy Marriage",  I teach you how to love your husband - how to change your thinking about him, yourself, and your relationship, and how to treat him with the tenderness and compassion that with which you love your children.Check out my course, "Foundations of a Happy Marriage" HERE.Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

In today's episode, I talk about why putting your spouse first is one of the best things you can do for your marriage.  Many people prioritize their children, work, friends, or extended family over their spouse, but here's the truth: a strong marriage is the foundation of a strong family, more personal fulfillment, and a deeper, long-lasting relationship with the the one you said, "I do" to!Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

It's so easy to find faults in our spouse and blame them for any and all our marriage issues.But, the truth is, we each have strengths and weaknesses that we bring to the marriage.Rather than blaming our spouse for our troubles, let's look (bravely) at where we contribute to our marriage issues.Once we see where we contribute, we can begin to make changes that WILL effect our relationship in a positive way!Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

I was in Chicago last week-end speaking at the Midwest Motherhood Conference - it was amazing!We laughed and cried and connected with so many friends and made new friends – the atmosphere was electric and I was so honored to speak to all these women.At this conference we had young women – some pregnant with their first, some pregnant with their 3rd or more.We had moms of elementary aged children and middle school kids.We had moms of high schoolers, college-age kids, and moms of children who have left the home.And one thing we all had in common was that everyone in that room gave up a Saturday morning for I think three reasons.  Listen to this episode to hear my thoughts on what moms are looking for.Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

And in learning how to nurture my interior life, I learned how to find peace – peace when life and relationships were good and peace when chaos was the order of the day.  In the Gospel of Matthew we read, "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” I wasn't going to God – I was carrying all the labor and burden of my life on my own. But once I started developing my interior life, I found peace - and I stopped yelling at the kids and being critical of my husband and those around me.Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

We need to teach our children to have clear values of what's really important in life and satisfying their desires all the time is not it.  We need to help our children see that we're not here in this world to think constantly about what will make us happy and satisfy all our whims.Let's teach our kids that things of the world are here to enhance our life, not to make us self-centered, selfish, and always wanting more.If we want our children to practice moderation as adults, it's our job to teach them how to live it as children during boring days and celebratory seasons. Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

The mind finds what it seeks.  When we're focused on all the contradictions or negative parts of our life it is impossible to feel joy. But when we're focused on all that we're thankful for, our heart softens, and we can find the joy. Living in gratitude is a habit to embrace. It's not just one day on Thanksgiving or when special happy events happen in your life.Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

Through the years, I have coached, interviewed, and reached out to people to ask for their experiences with their daughter-in-law or mother-in-law and, quite frankly, it makes me sad.The responses I have gotten are 99% negative about their relationship with their in-law.Why is that? Why are there such issues between two women who love the same man but in different ways?As I looked at the responses and the complaints of women I coach, I found that there were four critical skills that both women need to develop.Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

Send us a textWelcome back! Janelle is back, and today we're diving into an important lesson from our family's morning prayer time—addressing the vice of gluttony and its opposing virtue, moderation. As Catholic parents, we strive to teach our kids these spiritual truths using great resources like The Virtues for Catholic Youth from Catholic Sprouts.We explore how gluttony isn't just about overeating but being controlled by food, which is a growing issue in our culture. From processed foods to the "bliss point," we uncover how modern society has twisted our relationship with eating. But there's hope! We discuss practical ways to mortify our senses and teach moderation, even in small, everyday actions.Watch video podcast hereSupport the showSupport this show and get all future episodes by email atwww.kenandjanelle.com

Many new parenting styles create an imbalance in the child/parent relationship.  When we adopt a parenting style that is child-led and emotion driven, we do a disservice to our children by hyper focusing on how they feel and what they want rather than teaching them how to think and how to feel and express their feelings in an appropriate way while learning the good habits or virtues that are the foundation of thinking, feeling, and acting.In Virtue Based Parenting, we 1.   Recognize that we are the leaders of our children and that we are their first and most important teachers.2.  We seek self-growth in virtue in order to better model those virtues for our children and as a point of connection with each child.3.  We are proactive in establishing our parenting and home life goals and we communicate our expectations clearly and consistently. We react calmly and thoughtfully to our children's misbehavior seeking ultimately to fulfill our long-term goals rather than simply implementing short-term solutions.4.  We focus on formation through lived virtues, understanding that virtue, or good habits, is the foundation of excellent moral, spiritual, and practical goals.   Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

I think it's important to see the cultural shifts that affect our families.Shifts in what used to be some issues for a few, now are so common place that EVERYONE suffers or deals with them.Serious issues are now considered normal or easily accepted and have become commonplace in our families.As soon as we make something common place – something we've said or thought so many times that we just think it is true – we've lost the control to make the decisions of how we want to live or change and how we want our children to live or our family dynamic to look.We voluntarily become victims.I know that some people deal with ADHD, anxiety or other issues and some people's children do.But we can't be in this victim mentality where we feel the need to quickly diagnose and either medicate or get therapy to help.Ask yourself, what else could this be?Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

One of the biggest problems we have is that we have "dreams" or "expectations" about how our life, relationships, the behavior of our children, and our home culture should be.  They're just fantasies with no clear actions to create them.  Setting goals helps us act in the here and now to create the life we really want.Looking for a Catholic life coach to help you navigate marriage and motherhood?

" For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" Jeremiah 29:11This week I discuss the risk that comes with heavy expectations. When our children don't live up to our expectations or we ourselves are not yet the people we desire to be, we become vulnerable to the dangerous spirit of despair. We may even throw in the towel, wave our little white flags, and give up on the God-given ideals we once had our hearts set on. If this episode blessed you, I would be so honored if you shared it with a friend, rated it, or left us a review!
