Rebuild Trust With Your Child After They Have Left the LDS Church

A Free 30-minute "Family Reconstruction Roadmap" call for LDS mothers who are trying to hold on to their children and their faith 

If your child has stepped away from the church, it can feel like the ground has shifted under your feet.

You love them. You want to stay close.
But every conversation feels like a minefield, and you’re terrified of saying the wrong thing and pushing them further away.

This free 30-minute call is for LDS moms who want to:

  • Feel calmer and more confident in conversations with their child
  • Stop replaying every word and wondering if they made things worse
  • Rebuild trust and connection, even when you don’t agree about faith
I'm Ready to Heal My Relationships

What We’ll Do Together In 25-30 Minutes

On this call, we’ll:

  1. Get clear on your current situation
    What’s actually happening in your relationship right now, and what hurts the most.
  2. Identify the conversations that feel most scary
    The topics where you freeze up, shut down, or say things you regret.
  3. Map out your next 3 conversations
    You’ll leave with a simple plan for what to say, what not to say, and how to show up in a way that builds trust instead of tension.
  4. Talk through support options
    If it feels like a good fit for both of us, I’ll share how I can walk with you through this season with my 8-week one-on-one coaching program.

You’ll walk away with clarity and a specific plan, whether or not we decide to work together.

 

Yes, I'd Like a Roadmap

Who am I?

My name is Kari Bates and I’m a family relationships coach who focuses specifically on LDS mothers whose children have deconstructed or left the church.

I know how painful it is to watch your children leave the church you love. When my kids started leaving one by one, it almost broke me.

I spent so many sleepless nights, wondering, “Did I fail them? Am I losing them? Am I supposed to just be okay with this?”

I created this space to give mothers a safe, judgment-free place to talk about what’s happening and to find a way forward that honors both their child that they love with all their heart and their faith that they can't live without.

This is not about fixing your child or convincing them to come back.

It's about helping you show up with hope, clarity, and connection in this part of your story.
