You take a deep breath...and open Marco Polo. Inside? A message from someone who actually understands. And a reminder: You're doing a good job at a really hard thing. You are seen and your feelings are validated. You feel gounded again.
You're standing in your kitchen, reheating mac + cheese for the third time this week. Your toddler is melting down over a broken marker. Your phone just buzzed - visit change. Again.
Not perfect. Not "fixed," But truly supported and understood.
picture this:
You feel isolated and misunderstood, you're struggling with guilt and second-guessing, and you're stuck in survival mode.
No one in your real life gets it - not your friends, not your mom group, not even your therapist at times.
You constantly wonder: "Am I doing this right? Am I helping or hurting? Should I say yes again?"
You're white-knuckling it through visits, meltdowns, and transitions with no tools to regulate yourself - let alone your kids.
Here's your real problem:
“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!
- Katy M.

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.

“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."

meet Cathleen
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 I had never felt before, and I remember my husband asking me: "are we sure we can handle this?"
Suddenly, I felt 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 LOT of other foster mamas probably did, too. And that's how Fearless Fostering was born.
I can help because I've been there
Just accepting "this is the hardest thing I'll ever do and nothing can make it easier."
But most mamas do just that. They stay in survival mode. They white-knuckle their way through visits, trauma responses, and emotional whiplash. They convince themselves this is just how it has to be. But it doesn't. Support won't erase the hard...but it CAN change how you carry it.
The biggest Mistake of all?
Because foster care isn't a multiple choice test - it's a relationship involving real humans. You don't need more tabs open. You need support that sees you, holds you, and equips you.
It's not just information - it's a transformation.
I get that Google and Chat GPT are quick ways to search for answers to your questions, but they're not the place to start.
Fearless Fostering is the perfect safety net when your caseworker, instagram, or your Mother in Law just won't cut it.
Fearless Fostering is different
If you're looking for the fastest and easiest way to:
Feel less alone in the hardest moments of foster care
Know exactly what to say when things get tense or emotional
Parent with more confidence and less second-guessing
