Intro to Parenting in the Trenches

Release Date: 12/09/2020

Authors: Karen Peters

Description: A Letter from the TrenchesDear Parent,I’m having one of those surreal moments, where something I was slowly creating over the last number of months and seemed like a just a dream, has become Real! Kinda like when the Velveteen Rabbit became Real after the love sank in. Ya know? I’m so excited to be sharing with you my new, weekly podcast for 2021 called “Parenting in the Trenches”. Why the trenches, you ask? When I think of the trenches, I think about noble, dedicated people who are tasked with making both intentional and split-second decisions that could change the course of their lives and the lives of those they love. I think about people in the trenches representing others ‘back home’ and wanting something better for them as a result of what they’re doing and how it’s often a thankless role. Trenches are freakin’ messy - full of mud, sweat, tears and re-worn clothes. Parenting with purpose doesn’t happen without being willing to get dirty, sticky and Real.I created this because I’m a mom and I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor who works with kids, teens, couples and families and after 20 years of gathering experiences, knowledge and wisdom from my spouse, kids and clients, I feel selfish for holding on to the goods. I simply want to share them and a podcast seemed like my best way of getting it out to you. My mission is to offer a window into reality and a door to hope. So what do I have in store for you? I have some incredibly wise and insightful guests lined up and we’re going to stand together in the messiness of Real parenting, Real relationships, and Real mental health struggles. We’re gonna talk about transitions like how to adjust after your baby is born, how to navigate significant changes in your couples relationship, how to be the best empty nesters you can be, and everything parenting-related in between. We’ll address mental health struggles, adoption experiences, epic tantrums, communication patterns and coping skills. If it’s Real, we’re gonna unpack it. Because when we look at what troubles and intimidates us, we feel less alone and find better ways to deal with it. If you want to hear more about what we’ll cover, please take a listen to the special Intro episode and if it leaves you intrigued, please make a weekly date with me and join in on these honest, vulnerable and informing conversations.You can follow me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Karen-Peters-RCC-102091961735086 and Instagram @KarenPeters_RCCWith you in the parenting trenches,Karen

Chuckles and Chuckleheads with Kelsey Gillespy #247

Release Date: 08/02/2023

Description: CatholicMom.com's Maria Morera Johnson and contributor Karen Estep have a fun and moving conversation with author of  In the Trenches, Kelsey Gillespy. Catholicmom.com contributor Karen Estep is a wife and mom of two. She was confirmed, along with her husband, at the Easter Vigil in 2022, at 36 years young. Karen teaches Middle School English Language Development. Coming into the Catholic Church has solidified Karen's Christian faith and has helped her find her true calling from God. She hopes to help readers find their calling as well!  When Kelsey Gillespy became a mom, she was an ESPN Academic All-American and an award-winning writer. But after having her first child, she discovered that motherhood was the hardest thing she had ever done. Now—nine years and five babies later—she has found that being a mom can be beautiful and fulfilling, albeit a little (okay, very) messy and chaotic. At any given moment, Kelsey can be found homeschooling her herd of children, exercising, or laughing out loud. Her book, In the Trenches: Finding God Through Raising Littles is published by Pauline Books and Media.
