WE’VE REBRANDED!!
Hey there! If you’re a return visitor, you might be a little confused at what you’re seeing…your eyes aren’t deceiving you, we’ve rebranded!
After some careful consideration, lots of prayer, and counsel for other people wiser than myself, I decided that it was time to make some changes.
Over the last couple of months I’ve really struggled to find my voice here on my blog and because of that I wasn’t able to provide you with the quality that you deserve, and I hated that.
Above all, I want this blog and my business to be about helping you and giving you the tools you need to succeed. If my heart’s not in it, I can’t do that.
So, I’ve changed gears just a little. Instead of focusing so broadly on family dysfunction and all the aspects of that very big topic, I decided that my passion really lies in helping moms from dysfunctional, broken, and difficult backgrounds find and learn a different way to parent in order to break that cycle of trauma in their families.
Where Everything Beautiful was about trying to heal your own hurts, Mended Mom is more focused on not creating new hurts in our children as moms overcoming our own struggles.
My goal is to create a welcoming community of moms just doing the best we can as we learn to parent in new ways, overcome our own struggles, and work together to create strong and healthy families without all the judgement and mom shaming often found in other places.
So with that in mind, I just want to let you know that over the coming weeks I’ll be slowly rolling out all the updates to my website and social media pages as well as making updates behind the scenes.
Please bare with me if things look a little out of sorts for a while – I promise it will all come together in the end!!
I’m so excited about this new direction and all the amazing things God has in store for us! I just know you’re going to love it!
Hugs,
Alexis
Hi there! I’m Alexis.
I am as passionate about this mission of mine as I am about the God who called me to it! As a wife, mom, and a woman who has found healing from my broken past, I am here to tell you that you can change your story too!
My mission here at Mended Mom is to help moms grow and learn together in an effort to break the cycle of dysfunction by building strong and healthy families.
Having grown up in a broken and dysfunctional family myself, I know first hand how hard it can be to break the bad habits we learn growing up. But I also know that there is a way to parent our little loves that doesn’t involve blaming, shaming, punishment, and all the negative things we may have dealt with. There is a way to create a healthy and loving home for our families while still providing appropriate limits that respect the personhood and boundaries of every individual in our families – including the littlest members.
Overcoming Our Own Struggles
Believe me when I say that I totally understand that change is hard. I never intend to minimize the challenges you will face as you work hard to make positive change in your family.
I have spent the last several years working through my issues and it’s an ongoing work in progress. Even though things have gotten a lot easier the more work I’ve done, I still have days that I just can’t seem to get it together. I still lose my temper with my kids on the regular. And I still have a natural tendency to revert back to my most basic instincts – reacting out of anger – when I feel a loss of control.
I’m not here as the “perfect” parent trying to tell you all the ways you’re failing and how you could be doing better.
I’m here as the still flawed, daily-working-on-myself, not there yet parent who wants to walk beside you as we learn and grow together on this journey of parenthood.
My goal isn’t to be perfect or to make you perfect. My goal is simply to create a community of like-minded moms who want nothing more than to do the best we can, to learn from each other, to support and build one another up, and to create lasting friendships that will help us each become the person God intended for us to be.
Here’s to building strong and healthy families together!
