Stop Being Mean to Yourself

A masterclass for Christian moms who want to trade self-criticism for God’s grace.

Do you find it hard to be kind to yourself as a Christian Mom?

If you are anything like my coaching clients, you might have nagging thoughts like:

“I didn’t do enough today—again.”

“I’m a terrible mom.”
“God must be disappointed in me.”

You love your family. You love Jesus. You want to do it all with kindness and grace.
But when you fall short, instead of being gentle with yourself… you get mean.

If you find yourself:

Lashing out at your kids and then regretting it
Laying awake at night agonizing about your failings
Constantly pressing down feelings of frustration with yourself

You’re not alone.

And you don’t have to keep living like this.

In this Free Masterclass,
you’ll learn how to:

✨ Recognize the hidden ways you’re hard on yourself
✨ Notice how self-criticism ripples through your relationships and faith
✨ Open yourself to greater joy by changing the way you speak to yourself
✨ Use a simple tool to bring more kindness and calm into your daily life

Imagine this:

You notice a critical thought about yourself and meet it with curiosity and compassion. No spiraling or freaking out needed. :)
You make a mistake and still feel God’s love—deeply, fully, without needing to earn it.
You have simple, practical tools to treat yourself with kindness, so you can grow into the mom (and person) you want to be—without constantly beating yourself up.

This is the freedom and peace that comes when you stop being mean to yourself and start living in God’s grace.

“I’ll share the strategies I use with the moms I coach one-on-one — the steps that help them feel safer inside, calmer in the moment, and more connected to their kids.”

“I didn’t expect it to feel this gentle. But it changed everything.”

“I knew I was spiraling, but I didn’t know how to stop. Now I do.”

“I stopped yelling. Not because I got perfect—but because I finally felt safe inside.”

I’m Emily Ricks,

There was a time when I thought more effort was the answer —

That if I just pushed a little harder, criticized myself a little more… I’d finally be the calm, patient mom I wanted to be.
But what I really needed was grace, and a few gentle tools to help me practice it day by day.
Those tools helped me move from constant frustration to more patience, calmer reactions, and deeper connection with my kids.
And I want that for you too.
