Description

At Don't Mom Alone, we don't have a "good mom" formula. We can't tell you how to get it all right but what we do have is a place to connect you with people and resources so that you know that you don't mom alone. We have Jesus who can transform your mothering experience into one of peace, joy, and victory. And we have grace to remind and encourage you that you are not alone! You are empowered by God! You were handpicked for those kiddos and you've got this because God's got you.

Motherhood can be isolating and overwhelming. We feel the pressure to be perfect, look perfect, and produce perfect children all on our own. But that is unattainable. We are not meant to do this alone! I Moms can be empowered by God, supported by others, and connected with their children. With encouragement and insight, you can foster the key relationships you need to be the mom you want to be so we DON’T MOM ALONE.

grief loss children's grief trauma emotional expression couples grieving Jessica's House When Grief Comes Home
Grief is a journey that no one wants to walk, yet so many of us will experience deep loss in our lifetime. In this episode, Colleen and Erin have an open and honest conversation about Erin’s journey through unimaginable loss—losing her husband in a plane crash, navigating her children’s grief, the heartbreak of her mother’s suicide, and later, the devastating loss of her son in a car accident.

Through her story, Erin shares what it looks like to carry grief in our bodies, the crisis of faith that can come with loss, and how she found her way through the darkness. From those tragedies was born Jessica’s house, a place for families to walk through grief and be supported. And now a book When Grief Comes Home that shares the tools she has learned through so many trials. 

Here are some topics we cover:



  • The impact of trauma and grief on the body and nervous system
  • The importance of modeling healthy grief and emotional expression for children
  • How to come alongside grieving families in tangible, practical ways
  • The unique challenges couples face when grieving a child and how to let someone grieve in their own way
  • Brightsiding- what it is and how to speak to someone in a dark season
