Welcome to Unyielding

My name is Angie, and as your host, my goal is to sit with you and meet you right where you are. To pick up on the conversation that is already going on in your head. I'm not afraid of tough conversations, and I'm not shy about giving a voice to the struggles you are facing. Most importantly, I'm here to remind you of all the ways the unyielding love you feel for your child reveals itself.

In this space, we show our scars. We don't pretend or hide in shame. We learn to stand together and pick each other up on the hard days. We remind each other what this fight is for.

In this space, we face our challenges with courage and learn that shame and isolation are driven out when we are brave enough to share our broken parts.

2,000,000. That's how many podcasts are out there today. 2 million podcasts, and YOU LANDED HERE. I'm so that glad that you did.

Today this journey you're on turns a corner.

Today we take back some control. Control, which comes from having choices.

Today we are choosing companionship over isolation.

We're choosing compassion over shame.

Today, we're choosing HOPE.

Note: This episode was originally published under our former podcast title. While the name has changed to “Parenting Through the Hard,” the heart of this conversation remains the same. Thanks for being part of the journey.

Part 2. Today we pick up where we left off in episode 1 and continue the conversation with more information on the juvenile court process. We’ll review felony and misdemeanor charges as well as degrees and counts. We’ll also briefly touch on plea deals & trials, what sentencing & probation look like, and then wrap the episode up by talking about record sealing.

In Episode One, we take a look at the Juvenile Courts System.
We talk through a little about what happens after an arrest, the diversion program (12:35), Detention (13:00), and Attorneys (15:00). We also talk about what to expect at a hearing (19:00), Terms and Conditions (26:00), and Pretrial Hearings (28:30). Most importantly, though, we talk about how having a child in crisis is not an indicator of whether or not you are a good mom.
