The Happy Family Coach

The Happy Family Coach Podcast and services for families seeking generational healing. Do you know how parents are overwhelmed with the responsibilities of raising children?

Offering biblical counseling and faith-based coaching to break unhealthy patterns, improve relationships, and grow emotionally and spiritually. I hear from my clients all the time how frustrated they are with the meltdowns, talking back, helpless baby, sibling rivalry that takes place at home. Parents come in with feelings of guilt of being a "bad parent" - as if there is such a thing! I'm Danielle Alvarez Greer, AKA 'The Happy Family Coach'. I empower my clients to create clear boundaries so that they can enjoy a loving, harmonious and peaceful home life. I'm a mother, mentor, family coach and owner of The Happy Kid Toolkit™. The Happy Kid Toolkit™ treats unhappiness by teaching individuals how to take responsibility for their own happiness. I use The Happy Kid Toolkit™ to demonstrate how it is that we cause our own disharmony by believing the thoughts we think. My clients will have the opportunity to see how their own unhappy family and relationship dynamics play out, and why. Parents, children, professionals and individuals will leave each one-on-one coaching session with a set of skills/tools to use towards obtaining higher levels of happiness and satisfaction in all they experience in their daily lives and personal relationships. "As an engaging coach, speaker and teacher, Danielle never fails to entertain, provide laughter, and create an enjoyable learning environment. She not only speaks from the heart , she truly does “walk her talk” in how she lives her own personal and professional life, utilizing The Reality Formula™ and Happy Kid Toolkit™ in her own home with her two young children; Sawyer (13), and Reese (9)." ~ Lynne Forrest

There are seasons when faith feels costly—when injustice goes unanswered, accountability never comes, and the people who caused harm appear to move on untouched. Psalm 73 was written for that very place.

In today’s episode, I walk slowly through this psalm and talk honestly about delayed justice, comparison, wounded faith, and how God steadies us when answers don’t come quickly. This conversation is especially for anyone who has experienced church hurt, spiritual betrayal, or is quietly asking, “Was faithfulness even worth it?”

I also wrote a companion blog titled “When the Wicked Seem to Win: Holding Faith in the Face of Injustice.”
You can read it—and listen to the full episode—in the link in my bio.

If this resonates, consider sharing it with someone who’s waiting for justice and needs to know they’re not alone. 🤍

Grace and peace—especially in the waiting.

What do you do when people who caused real harm appear to thrive—while you’re left carrying the cost? What happens to faith when justice feels delayed, silence feels loud,and doing the right thing feels painfully expensive? In this deeply honest and trauma-aware episode, I walk slowly through Ps...

What if being fully known didn’t feel unsafe?

Psalm 139 tells us we are completely seen by God — every thought, every emotion, every hidden place.
But for many of us, being known hasn’t felt comforting.
It’s felt exposing. Threatening. Conditional.

When being known once meant correction instead of care…
performance instead of presence…
or responsibility that never belonged to us…
of course our nervous system braces.

Episode 96 is an invitation to slow way down and sit with Psalm 139 through a trauma-informed, Spirit-led lens.

Not to try harder.
Not to fix yourself.
But to rest.

To explore what it looks like to move from survival into secure love — from hiding, controlling, or defending… into truth, connection, and healing.

You are fully known.
Deeply loved.
And never abandoned.

In this episode, I slow way down and sit with one of the most intimate passages in all of Scripture—Psalm 139. I talk honestly about what it means to be fully known by God—and why that truth can feel deeply comforting for some of us, yet unsettling or even threatening for others. For many of us,...

Secure attachment to God isn’t earned.
It’s received—through the Holy Spirit—one honest, surrendered moment at a time.

In a world full of conversations about attachment styles, I keep coming back to this truth:
only God can fill this place in us.

Psalm 139 reminds me that secure love doesn’t come from striving or getting it right.
It comes from slowing down, being honest, and discovering that God stays.

New episode drops tomorrow morning. 🤍 We’ll sit with Psalm 139 and explore what secure attachment to God actually looks like—and how the Holy Spirit gently leads us out of survival and into rest.

What if strength doesn’t have to feel overwhelming to be real?

Psalm 68 offers a very different picture of power than many of us learned growing up.
Not loud.
Not controlling.
Not unsafe.

In today’s episode, I explore what it looks like to trust a God who is both strong and gentle—especially if authority, power, or leadership have felt complicated or wounding in your story.

If your nervous system tends to brace…
If trust hasn’t come easily…
If you’ve learned to stay small or stay in control to feel safe…

This episode is for you.

“God’s presence doesn’t pressure the soul.
It steadies it.”

If power, authority, or leadership has ever felt heavy, confusing, or unsafe, Psalm 68 offers a different picture of who God is—and how His strength actually works.

Tomorrow, a new blog post and Podcast Episode 95 go live. We’ll walk slowly through Psalm 68 and explore what it looks like to trust a God who is both strong and gentle, especially for anxious, guarded, or weary hearts.

You can understand your triggers.
You can name your emotions.
You can do the inner work.

And still get stuck when it’s time to respond.

Emotional maturity isn’t proven by how much insight you have—it’s revealed in what you choose after awareness.
After the emotion is named.
After the pattern is recognized.

Reaction is automatic.
Response is intentional.

And that choice—made one moment at a time—is where real change takes root in our families, marriages, and relationships.

What happens when you finally slow down enough to heal?

This video is a blend of real moments from our September Renew & Restore retreat and glimpses of the beautiful, quiet space we’ll gather in this February.

What you’re seeing is not a highlight reel of perfection — it’s what happens when women are given permission to rest, reflect, pray, laugh, cry, and simply be human in a safe, unhurried space.

Renew & Restore isn’t a conference and it isn’t therapy.
It’s a slow, Scripture-rooted, Spirit-led women’s healing retreat where you’re invited — never pressured — to engage at your own pace.

We’ll gather February 19–22 in a peaceful, cozy setting to make room for what God wants to restore.

A few spots remain 🤍

Your emotions aren’t the problem—they’re messengers.

Anger. Irritation. Overwhelm. Anxiety.
They don’t show up to ruin your day—they show up to get your attention.

The question isn’t “Why do I feel this way?”
It’s “What is this emotion trying to tell me?”

In Episode 93 of The Happy Family Coach Podcast, we’re talking about how to listen to emotions with wisdom—without letting them lead. Because when emotions stop driving and start informing, everything changes: how we respond, how we parent, how we love.

You don’t need to silence your emotions.
And you don’t need to obey them.
You can learn to listen well.
