“Setting a Joyful Tone in our Home as Moms”

Life is hard.

Mornings are hard.

Evenings are hard.

Dinner is hard.

Parenting is hard.

But most of all, being a mom is hard.

But the good news is that we aren’t required to be perfect, and we have some help along the way to confirm that.

In this presentation, we will learn ways to find as little as 5 minutes for self-care to pour into ourselves as moms so we can bring joy to our home and set a positive tone for the day.  We will also discuss fun and inexpensive ideas of things to do with your kids to be intentional about making memories and being a joyful mom.

Everything I know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark

We will discuss 10 things that we can learn from the story of Noah’s Ark to
guide us through life to make the most of every moment and discuss
practical things to incorporate to allow our mornings and evenings to go a
little smoother.

A couple of the lessons learned include:

  1. Plan Ahead.  It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark.
  2. Speed isn’t always an advantage.  The snails were on board with the
          cheetahs.
  3. When you’re stressed, float for a while.

We will talk about ways to identify when you just need a break, how to run
a household with a little more “control,” and how to be intentional about
relaxing and finding your inner calm with Jesus.

Holidays: Finding joy in the simple things of the holidays

Tips to hold the negative stress at bay that tends to get in our way of enjoying the holidays and find ways to pull in the joy as we celebrate the different holidays throughout the year.

In this session, we will discuss practical and fun ideas for celebrating popular holidays yourself, with your kids, and with your entire family. We will also dig deeper into some really fun ideas for celebrating every day as a holiday—from National Spaghetti Day to National Hot Fudge Day!

When Life Gives you Lemons, Make Lemonade

As moms and frankly, women in general, we have an unwritten responsibility to find a way to make things better.   From kissing a boo-boo to fixing a rip in the prom dress, we are looked upon to find a way to make it okay. 

In this session, we get to identify and own our right to grumble sometimes, but we also get to embrace and celebrate our privilege to make lemonade from these grumbles.  When life throws you lemons, how do you respond?  Jesus says to trust in Him. 

Join me as we discover all kinds of ideas for turning our own sour lemons into something beautifully bright and pleasing, like a refreshing cup of lemonade.

“Deanna has a gift of using her words, her home, and her creativity to make a difference to those who struggle. And, she shows us all how to do the same.”

Contracting Deanna as our keynote speaker for our 13th Annual Women in Philanthropy Luncheon was a great investment. As Deanna spoke you could feel the energy in the room ramp up with each story or antidote she shared. By the end of her speech, the confidence level of every woman in attendance was raised one notch. Everyone left the event knowing that they had the power to leave a lasting, positive impact upon their community, and they had the tools needed to start their own acts of kindness. Deanna’s address reinvigorated the Women in Philanthropy Luncheon, attendance is up and donations to the Women and Children Fund have increased. Mission accomplished

“She is gifted at effortlessly sharing stories that make you laugh one minute and wipe tears the next, all woven together in a cohesive theme.”

I had the pleasure of hearing the dynamic Deanna Young as the keynote speaker at an annual Women in Philanthropy luncheon. Deanna was engaging from start to finish. She is gifted at effortlessly sharing stories that make you laugh one minute and wipe tears the next, all woven together in a cohesive theme. The women at the luncheon all walked away inspired and uplifted. Her talents would be a great fit for any key note address, breakout session or group gatherings.

Deanna is an exuberant, vivacious, and fun Christian speaker. The 100 women at our event stood to applaud. Her messages were phenomenal!!!

Sandy Powell

Saint Joseph Church Of Christ

Deanna Young is an inspiring motivational speaker. She is organized and offers personal anecdotes as she speaks. Deanna personalizes her presentations for her different audiences and incorporates meaningful scripture. Deanna is dynamic and purposeful in her delivery, using humor as well as dramatic effect. She is warm, welcoming, appreciative, and creative. Deanna frequently uses props for emphasis. She always prepares for her presentations; she knows how much time she is allotted and familiarizes herself with her audiences. All leave Deanna’s presentations feeling like they have made a lifelong friend, and truly, they have! I’m a little prejudiced because I have known Deanna since she was a child, was her teacher, and have remained a friend. Even if I am biased, I believe everyone can benefit from Deanna’s passion and compassion, her energy and encouragement, and her many inspiring and genuine messages.
