You're in the right place if -
- you've ever wondered why your home sometimes feels like a battleground rather than a safe haven, and you long for more connection and peace.
- you feel stuck in cycles of fear, control, and performance in your relationships and want to learn how to build a truly supportive home environment.
- you’re ready to shift from focusing on “good” appearances to creating a home where everyone feels safe, loved, and truly supported.
- if you want to understand how to make quick and meaningful repairs in relationships, even when things go wrong, to build a culture of trust and resilience.
In this episode, we share the practical characteristics of a supportive and unsupportive environment at home. We also share stories about how relationships get stuck or unstuck based on the environment we breathe in.
Janet shares a powerful reflection about the families she supports in consulting relationships. "So many times, families reach out because their child is stuck in a chronic struggle. In almost every case, the home environment is “good” based on cultural standards. But the child’s struggle is tied to a family dynamic where safety—explicitly or implicitly—is missing.

I’ve seen profound transformation when parents begin to intentionally repair the damage done by a lack of safety. Disabilities become capabilities. Dysregulation becomes regulation. A supportive home environment truly brings healing."

Listen to this episode to find great hope and linger in these TAKEAWAYS:
- Transformational relationships are built on love, trust, and grace, not on control or performance. When love leads, fear loses its grip.
- A supportive home environment is not perfect, but it prioritizes quick repairs through confession, repentance, and transformation to maintain safety and connection.
- Making your home a safe place involves more than meeting physical needs—it means nourishing each person’s mind, body, and soul, with joy, rest, order, and healthy boundaries.
- When we make repairs and lead from a non-anxious presence, we teach our children how to navigate struggles with resilience and security. This helps everyone in the family grow into who God says they are.
