If You're Nodding Your Head At These,
Feeling Like You Could Have Written These Words Yourself,
Then, Hi There! Let's Talk!

I know the feeling! I have been there.

I know exactly what it feels like to be really upset at my child for lying or for not listening, or even worse, talking back in that nasty, eye roll, I hate you mom, tone!   The hurt, the anger, the feeling of,  I am going to MAKE YOU DO THIS OR ELSE, that bubbles up inside is ferocious and uncompromising!

Then you start to argue with them, which turns into yelling and the whole thing has blown up in your face!   I have felt the overwhelm from working full time and trying to get five kids out of the door by 8 am.   I have given up my own self-care and run around like a chicken with my head cut off and not given a second thought about how damaging that was for myself.

For me, it was finally the day when had I committed one of the most common parenting “sins” of unhealthy parenting,  and I snapped a very unkind response at my then 12 year old daughter.  Simply because I was the one who was overwhelmed and not taking care of me.  The kind you NEVER want to hear from your kids mouths, but you have just said .  My oldest is a smart girl and very quick to assess any situation and her retort hit like a building collapsing on me.  “Real mature Mom! Thanks!”

 I wish I could have crawled in a hole that day!  I couldn’t take back what I said and my daughter was getting old enough to let me know just how terrible I had behaved as her mom!

I had to make a decision!  Did I want my daughter growing up with me modeling this passive aggressive behavior that I had grown up with,  or did I want to learn how I could be a better mom and handle parenting differently? With Five kids, there was certain to be more days that this patterned behavior might happen!  So, I had to find a solution!  Did I want my kids to avoid me at all costs as they started to become independent teenagers? Or did I want them to come to ME with their problems and life questions?

Did I want to find the balance, connect, and communicate peacefully with them, and build a rock solid, bad-ass mindful relationship, to have an amazing forever future for my family?

It was a no brainer for me!

Years later, I got a phone call….
“You’re Amazing Mom! Thank You For Parenting Me The Way You Did!”

Because of my focus on learning and living a Mindful Parenting Lifestyle, the same daughter called me, just after she had moved out of our home, and off to college.  She thanked me for being such a great mom and letting her become her own person, teaching her how to be independent and to know how to make smart choices on her own. Getting her ready to launch into her own life, rock solid, able to communicate with empathy and thrive. She said, “mom, you would not believe how many kids have just gone wild here at college. Like they have never been given any independence and they have no idea how to do life!

Coaching is the most powerful force for positive change on Earth.  I am a Certified Parent Coach and a skilled expert, who has gone through a rigorous professional training to learn ways, and ideas to support you, as a parent, to reestablish and improve your relationship with your kids.

We will work through issues that thousands of loving parents just like you, have endured, and usually because of the traditional ‘power-over’ ‘drill- sergeant’ or ‘authoritarian’ model of parenting.  It is the  most common parenting pattern, therefore it is the parenting method you know and have used, as it has been ingrained in you through how you were parented as a child.

This parenting style creates defiance and resistance in your relationship with your child!  It makes you feel like you’re going to spend the rest of your life struggling with your children’s behavior and continue to feel like you’re just not doing a good job as a parent.  I know that you want to be a loving, peaceful parent that has a meaningful connected relationship with your children.

I understand how hard it is to ask for help as a parent......

Which is why when you contact me, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: 

  • When you book an intensive coaching call with me, we’ll sit down together and deep dive into what’s going on for you and your family and strategize a solution.
  • You can ask questions to see what type of solutions might be the best fit for your life and family.
  • Every family, every person, every child is different and has different needs.  If you are not finding the solution to your specific concerns, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure.  Share what you feel you want to share.  It’s an opportunity to customize your needs just for you.

About Me…

I am a proud wife of a marine veteran, and 25 year LEOW, a full time working Badass Boss Mom of 5 amazing kiddos,  self employed for the better part of 24 years. The desire to be 100% present in my kids lives started before I even had my first child.  I quit my job and opened my first business at the age of 27, and had my first child at 30. I thought I had it all figured out! WRONG! 

It seems like just yesterday I was sitting alone in my car after school drop off, just balling my eyes out. I was so overwhelmed and at rock bottom as a Mom.

I had planned ahead for everything, so I thought, and somehow I seemed to begin each day with my 12 year old head strong daughter, fighting with me.  I had survived twins born at 28 weeks gestation and on oxygen and heart monitors and needing lots of therapy and medical intervention for several years!  All while caring for a 3- , 5- year old and 7-year old at the same time, doing the day to day laundry for 7 and cooking, and cleaning AND I worked for myself from home.  Had to find my own clients, had to make sure the work got done for them!  The medical bills from the twins almost cost us our home!   We had lived through the “Summer of Bologna Sandwiches” for goodness sakes, and yet, I was sitting there completely at a loss as a mom, on how to stop fighting with my pre-teen daughter! Daily!

You see, I was the classic authoritarian parent.   I had always been taught, that as a parent, you tell your child what to do and they behave or get punished.  Yet, my strong willed (just like her mom) daughter,  ignored me, or rolled her eyes or worse yet, she argued with me, and ultimately, I lost my temper back!  I didn’t know how to ask for what I needed, so I barked orders instead!  Then her brother started to copy her!  I tried to punished and raise my voice and lost my shit over and over again!  I was destroying any relationship with my kids, and they weren’t even teenagers yet!   To say I was a stressed out hot mess of a mama, would be, being nice.

It was a LOT.

Fast forward to today;  I have built the most incredible relationship with our now,  5 teenagers!  My 2 oldest kids, including my ASD son are successfully navigating college on their own, and we still talk almost daily! Not only have I learned the best way to raise them to be fully prepared to be on their own, but, they are making incredible strides as young adults! I am the most elated and content I have ever been as a mom! I have a very respectful  and trustful relationship with all of my kids, including the teenagers still living at home.   I don’t have the stress and frustration anymore, AND I make sure myself care needs are met too! Today, we are all HAPPY and CONNECTED.
