THEN
Six weeks into our first foster 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?"
i can help because i've been there, too
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.
Here's a peek at what you'll be getting:
Evidence based stress reduction training
I'll help you change the way you respond to prolonged periods of stress and uncertainty on two group coaching calls per month via Zoom.
a restful weekend retreat

Grow, learn, and share with moms who GET it via a Marco Polo group chat.
