Effectively manage the stress and uncertainty of fostering
It doesn't always feel safe to reach out to your case worker or post in a Facebook group when you're struggling. If you're feeling overwhelmed or frustrated by any aspect of fostering, you're in the right place. Whether you're looking for 1:1 support, or to connect and grow alongside other foster mamas, I've got your back.
1:1 sessions + Retreat
BUT HERE'S THE THING...YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE.
You're worried about case workers and doctors and bio parents judging you. You're worried about what's going to happen down the road, and will you be able to handle it? Will it really work out for the BEST for your foster child? What about your bio children? It can all feel so heavy, I know.
I know how it feels...

inner circle of foster mom friends
6 weeks into our first foster care placement, I was sobbing my eyes out in a Starbucks.
My husband and I had just had the rug pulled out from under us at a case review meeting... my heart ached in a way that I had never felt before, and I remember my husband asking me, "are we sure we can handle this?"
Suddenly, I found myself leaning heavily on the skills I used in therapy with my clients to ease my own sense of overwhelm and anxiety. And then it hit me: if I felt that way, a loooot of other foster mamas probably did, too. And that's how Fearless Fostering was born.
i can help because i've been there, too
Since then, I have helped thousands of foster mamas effectively manage the stress and uncertainty of foster care.
