change your motherhood with
Calm Christian mom
coaching program
Valentina Caraballo
“When I first started the program, I was deeply stuck in the mindset of, “This is just how I am—I’m too far gone.” I saw myself as a mom who had a few good moments where I actually enjoyed motherhood, but most of the time I didn’t. I thought motherhood was a burden, and I was just getting by each day. I figured maybe she could help me a little bit, but a part of me would always just be an angry mom.
Around week 8 or 9, I started noticing real positive changes. I wasn’t just becoming more aware of my triggers and ways of handling things—I actually began acting on that awareness. Before joining the program, I knew what I was doing wasn’t good, but honestly, I didn’t care enough to change.
When I first started, I would lose my cool with my kids and my husband almost daily. Now, I can honestly say that’s been reduced significantly. The intensity no-where near what it used to be.
My kids now call me their best friend, and that alone speaks volumes. My husband has noticed that I’m much more patient with the kids and far less reactive, which was a huge issue in our home. I used to constantly blow up and explode toward my family.
I no longer feel like I wasn’t meant to do this, or that becoming a mother was an “accident” or some kind of punishment. I now see motherhood as a journey the Lord has intentionally placed me on to challenge and sanctify me. I genuinely look forward to the fruit of the hard work I’ve put in—knowing that when my children are older, they’ll remember the mother I became, instead of who I once was”.

When I joined Calm Christian Mom I was constantly angry, overwhelmed, shameful, tired, triggered and out-of-control.
Once I started the Program, I started to notice changes day 1 — honestly! Elizabeth checked in, kept me accountable, and accepted the parts about me that not a lot of people knew about.
She equipped me with tools to respond calmer to my kids. I now feel more confident as a mom, better equipped to handle big emotions, and my patience and capacity has grown.
I show up in a completely different way than I used to when I started the program.

“I loved my time with Elizabeth and this program! I was so lost in my anger when I joined the coaching program. I was really spinning my wheels trying to figure out how to have a good relationship with my kids. I gained big mindset shifts about my kids and myself as their mom. I realized that I am a good mom who is doing my best to show up as the mom I know God wants me to be”.
Amber Stewart
“When I started the program I was in a place of frustration and negative self talk every day. I was reacting from emotions and not showing up as I wanted to as a mom and felt stuck on this cycle.
The coaching has been so life giving at a time where I needed encouragement the most. The best part was accountability. We all know that change doesn't really come without accountability. I highly recommend her program, the tools that I've learned, the insights, the things that I've been putting into practice have helped me so much be the mom that I want to be for my homeschooling son”.

Before working with Elizabeth, I was a loud, reactive, stressed-out, and overwhelmed mom.
I’ve battled anger my whole life—it’s a generational issue in my family that has destroyed relationships and marriages. I knew I didn’t want that to be my story or my daughters’ story, so I joined the Calm Christian Mom program in Fall 2023.
The changes have been incredible. I’m calmer, slower to react, and more intentional in my responses—friends and family have noticed. I’m finding peace in my days, creating a safe and nurturing environment for my daughters, and breaking the cycle of anger in our family.
This program has been worth every bit of the investment. It has transformed my marriage, my relationships, and the legacy I’m leaving for my children. Today, I am a calmer, more responsive mom who communicates better about where I’m at and what I need with my family.
This is just the beginning in my battle against generational anger—but it’s a fantastic beginning, and I’m so glad I said yes to this program!
Brandi Southerland
When I started Calm Christian Mom Coaching program, I felt that I was at rock bottom. I was so bitter and angry towards my family. It had become a cycle and I felt I was pushing my family away. I was lost and needed help to find the mom that I once was and longed to be.
My family started noticing positive changes within me and our household after a month, maybe a little longer. It was like a light switch for me- one day all of the things that I had been working on started to make sense. It felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.
Before starting the program, I would lose my cool with my son at least 4-5 times a week and it was bad. I would say some of the most hurtful things. Now, I rarely lose my cool. I cant remember the last time.
My relationships have improved greatly. Our house seems so much more peaceful, fun and happy. There is no tension there anymore. We have grown as a family and I am so thankful.
My husband has even started journaling because he noticed how much it has helped me.
I feel like a great mom now- even when I feel exhausted or even frustrated, I have the tools that I need to be able to remain calm and a loving mom/wife. I feel like a much happier person all together.

When I first started this program, I felt like I was never going to get over this hump of discouragement and overwhelm that I felt daily as a mom.
I started noticing changes in my stress level within the first 2 weeks of coaching. My workload and circumstances had not changed but I just felt more calm, I knew that things were going to be ok. I was starting to have peace.
I quickly implemented coping mechanisms for myself, while learning the processes to correct my behavior and mend our family relationships.
Today I am confident that I am the mom I was called to be.

Before starting this program I would be frustrated on a daily basis. Not because I didn’t love my kids but because I didn’t have the tools to deal with my frustrations as I became overwhelmed with my seven littles (while living in a fifth wheel).
I was also frustrated with myself on how I handled my emotions frequently and worried about how my kids would remember me. I wanted nothing more than to change the generational curse of yelling and being easily angered…I didn’t want to be the mom that yelled.
Within the first week I was able to apply the things I was learning and made improvements. Within the first month I had made huge changes. So much so that my husband and children had noticed.
Our home became more peaceful and as a result it was more joyful as well. There are so many more moments of joy and light-heartedness. More laughing and a lot less yelling. I’m certainly not perfect but sure have come a long way since I started the program. I am so proud of myself for putting in all of the hard work and completing the program. My family is better off for it…I am putting in the work for generations.

As a single Mom of two young and very active boys, I found Elizabeth's program when I was deep in remorse and helplessness.
She has helped me become aware of old patterns and I can reset using calming techniques, mindset swaps. Now I can pause and wait instead of reacting. God has given me all I need in Him to be a godly Mom and share an emotionally healthy legacy with these amazing boys.
This program encouraged me, taught me and helped break down reactive and unhealthy reactions. Now I believe that although my upbringing didn't model healthy emotional coping methods, I can do all things through Christ and the power He offers me each moment in my parenting. I would highly recommend any Mom who believes it's too late or that the damage is already done, that you press in and join the Calm Christian Mom coaching program.

When I started the program, I was carrying so much I couldn’t change—my husband’s unemployment, his mental and physical health struggles, my own sleep deprivation and caregiver burnout, all while being a breastfeeding, full-time working mom. I didn’t feel emotionally or physically secure, seen, or heard in my marriage. All of that resentment, frustration, and anger I felt toward my husband for lack of support in parenting, household responsibilities, and our marriage—I ended up taking out on my kids. I yelled, name-called, spanked, squeezed them too hard, shook them, or chased them. I was losing my cool several times a week and crying myself to sleep, asking God why He entrusted me with my children when I felt like such a failure.
God led me to the Don’t Mom Alone podcast where Elizabeth was being interviewed. For the first time, I didn’t feel alone as a mom. I shared it with my husband, took a leap of faith, and scheduled a consultation call. From that moment, I committed fully to the program.
Elizabeth held me accountable every day. The learning modules, reflection questions, journaling, healthy anger release tools, mindset shifts, “I am” statements, and weekly support calls were life-giving. Today, even though my circumstances have actually gotten harder, I have more peace. I’ve learned what’s in my control and what’s in God’s. My relationship with my kids has completely changed—they now see me as their safe place. I’m more curious than furious, I respond with compassion instead of reacting, and when I do feel triggered, I pause, walk away, and release my anger in a healthy way. This has even impacted my husband—he’s starting to apply what I’ve modeled in his own parenting.
I am so blessed and thankful for this program. It truly changed my life, my marriage, and my motherhood.

Before joining the coaching program, I was waking up each day feeling stuck and trapped in my life as a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to five daughters. I lived with a constant baseline of annoyance and frustration toward my kids and their choices. It didn’t take much for me to boil over—yelling at my kids or grabbing them too roughly—and then shutting down in shame over what I had done.
I tried mustering up the strength to change my reactions and consumed countless parenting posts on social media, but nothing worked. Deep down, I knew I needed help from someone outside of myself to figure out what was going on and finally break the cycle of rage and shame. Within the very first week of the program, I felt relief. I had practical instruction, a kind voice on my side, and the sense that change was truly possible. Elizabeth’s material addresses the practical, emotional, mental, and spiritual parts of life, which gave me a whole-person approach to healing my anger.
Now that I’ve completed the program, I no longer carry that heavy weight of shame on my shoulders every day. Yes, I still have hard moments and sometimes lose my cool—but now I know it doesn’t mean I’m an unfit mother or a terrible person. I am a good mom who sometimes has hard moments. I feel free to connect with my kids and extend to them the same grace I’m receiving from Jesus.

In the spring of 2025, I felt completely stuck—frustrated, angry, and overwhelmed almost every day. I had tried podcasts, books, and online courses, but nothing brought real change. I was starting to feel hopeless.
Then I joined the Calm Christian Mom Coaching Program, and within just a couple of weeks, things began to shift. I started catching myself before I spiraled, and I went from daily blowups to going weeks without losing my cool.
This program helped me come out of shame and step into truth. With Elizabeth’s guidance and the weekly coaching calls, I learned how to process my emotions in a healthy way and shift my mindset from negativity to Scripture-based truth.
Today, I feel grounded, lighthearted, and more connected to my family. I’m not just reacting anymore—I’m showing up as the calm, warm, and steady mom I always wanted to be. That’s a gift I couldn’t give my family before, and I’m so grateful I finally can.
I feel really grateful for this opportunity and proud of myself for doing the work.

Before I started this program, my daughter was 11 months old, and I had spent much of her first year struggling to adjust to being a new mom. I was harboring resentment, dealing with hormone shifts and lack of sleep, feeling out of control of what happened in my day, and struggling when things didn’t go the way I planned. All of those things stacked up and fueled a negative mindset that led me to react in anger toward my daughter and my husband. That, in turn, fueled deep guilt and shame about my behavior and created a cycle I felt like I couldn’t escape.
I didn’t know how to handle my own emotions, and I knew that if something didn’t change, it would lead me to a place in motherhood I didn’t want to end up.
As soon as I signed up for the program—even before starting the work—it was such a relief to know I wasn’t alone anymore. I had chosen help, and there was hope for a different future than the one I was seeing.
As the program progressed, I saw change week after week. It started with small wins that slowly built momentum until, by the end of the program, I was able to handle situations that would have felt impossible before.
Today, I know I’m not a perfect mom, but I am the perfect mom for my daughter. I’m able to give myself grace and understanding where I couldn’t before. I can let go of the “shoulds,” accept reality, and release expectations for others and for situations. I’m able to foster connection with my daughter both in the sweet, easy moments and in the challenging ones.
Before this program, I was losing my cool multiple times a day and letting that spiral me into negativity. Now I have the awareness to recognize my big feelings early and the tools to navigate them so I can stay grounded, calm, and flexible.
I know I’ll continue to make mistakes in motherhood, but that thought feels freeing now instead of scary. I don’t let those mistakes define me anymore. God made me a mom to my daughter knowing I would make mistakes, and He has equipped me for this role and gives me abundant grace to cover the gaps.
It feels so good to enjoy being a mom and to know I’m walking toward the kind of motherhood I always imagined.

Before the program, I felt like I was constantly white knuckling, trying to hold myself together. I read books and listened to podcasts. I was involved with church groups with other moms who helped and prayed for me.
I have 3 kids and when each was 2 years old was a low point for me. I have been consistently in my Bible ever morning for over 8 years and still struggled with anger and intermittent depression. Several years before the program I started taking as much off my calendar and my plate as I could, but then also God called me to homeschool.
I grew significantly through my desperation to be better but could not get past waves of depression, especially every winter and holiday season.
Since the program I feel like I am lighter and more at peace. I feel like a literal weight has been lifted off of me. It took almost the whole 12 weeks to feel better, and I still feel like I have a lot of work to do with my tone with my kids. However, I can say that I am slow to anger and at peace. I am not perfect but I am in a better place to grow from where I am now. Elizabeth helped me find the root of my unprocessed emotions and helped me to process and release them in order to do the work I was trying to do before. Now I feel stable and hopeful instead of almost constantly frustrated.

I have made substantial progress since I began the program. There are aspects of my life that are completely different, and I am routinely making choices I would never have made before the program — choices I know are better for my family, more life-giving and more honoring to the Lord.
Before the program, I knew I had to change and grow, but I also knew I didn’t have the tools I needed to make those changes. Now, when I get into a situation where I would have reacted in anger, I feel I have so many different choices, not just the same old habits that would leave me feeling guilty and ashamed.
I am closer to my children and so much more joyful thanks to the program! I understand that strong emotions are an opportunity to connect and how to ask for support before I get activated. I am able to balance my needs with the needs of my family in a much healthier way, understanding that taking care of myself is a vital part of taking care of them.
While I am not perfect, I am so much calmer and joyful than I was six months ago — the atmosphere in my home is completely different and when I do make a mistake, I know how to learn from it and implement a new plan. This is not just content to consume — these are real tools that will make a difference in how you show up for yourself, for your husband, for your kids and for future generations.
