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

an inner circle of foster mom friends
Grow, learn, and share with moms who GET it via a Marco Polo group chat.
“I laughed, I cried, I was seen, I was heard, I was empathized with, I was loved, I was understood. We are meant to live in community. Foster care is no exception. 10/10 recommend Cathleen's Fearless Fostering group!

“Highly recommend Fearless Fostering! The truth is that unless you find someone in the trenches of foster care, you will quickly find out that people just don't understand. I wish that I would have done Fearless Fostering sooner."
foster mamas are finally Getting the exact support they need
When you talk to someone who really GETS what you're going through, foster care doesn't feel so lonely. When you have a game plan to deal with all the tough stuff foster care can throw at you, you feel equipped to handle it all, come what may. Most importantly, you find the strength to KEEP GOING in this ridiculously important calling.
