Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan

Before the children, before the house, before everything else except God, our husband should be our first priority.
We often focus on the needs of our children which we perceive as always urgent and important, and we sometimes neglect our spouse in the process of fulfilling our children's needs.
When we put our spouse 1st, the order of the family is as it should be and together we build our family life.

Don't let your life be barren. Be useful. Blaze a trail. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love.
Have you ever considered that you have a mission from God to be useful, blaze a trail, and shine forth with your faith and your love?
That's exactly what we're called in this mission of marriage and motherhood.
In today's episode, I talk about the foundation of our lives as wives/mothers - embracing our mission in our own little part of the world to change the world!
My membership, "The Faith & Family Project", is a place that supports you in your mission.  We focus on the four pillars of our life:  marriage, parenting, home management, and faith/mindset/self-care.
We learn how to:
Connect again with your husband
Enjoy your children as you learn to teach instead of punish
Learn how to implement systems in your home so it doesn’t overwhelm you
Connect with God and let Him support you in this mission

The most important thing about your parenting may not be what you’re doing—but who you believe you are while you’re doing it.
In this podcast I talk a lot about the what - what you’re doing in your marriage, how you parent, and how you keep your home.
We’re all very comfortable about talking about the how to do things.
But this quote struck me because at the core of whether we’re successful in what we do is who we believe we are as we’re doing it – our mom self-image.
What is self-image? Self-image refers to the way you see yourself in relation to the world around you. 
This episode talks about how important our "mom self-image" is in the way we parent and the satisfaction of our lives.

Today I want to talk about a 2nd way you can find joy in motherhood and that is in embracing a shift in your parenting style that will change the way you feel about parenting.
When I get on a coaching call with almost every client who is a young mom, their biggest question usually comes down to, “What consequence can I give so that they stop this behavior?”
And while I do think there’s a place for consequences – natural consequences that result from undesirable behavior – I think that a better way to parent is see your role as teacher and leader of your children rather than a punisher or simply managing behavior.

You know usually I lead with the practical tips because that’s what people want.  Something tangible – a tactic or a tool that will somehow magically change your life.
And while it is true that tactics, tools, routines, and habits can have a profound impact on your life creating peace and eliminating stress in your home, the tool I want to share with you today is deeper and more effective because it is the tool upon which all others will either enrich your life or be abandoned after a few days.
Whether you're a young mom or an older mom, I hope you'll make this "tool" your New Year's Resolution for 2026
