"Conscious parenting" advice is everywhere these days.

Whether you call it “gentle" parenting or "peaceful" parenting or "mindful" parenting, everyone is always saying...

  • be calm
  • be curious
  • stay empathetic
  • use conscious communication


But what does that even mean when you're tired of asking your kids to do things and you only have 5 minutes to leave?


If you're TRYING to be calm and connect with your kids but still wondering:
  • "What do I say when they refuse?" 
  • "What do I do when  they won't...?" 
  • "How do I respond to defiance?"

Take action to use language that empowers you to:

  • Discover what words help your kids make good decisions
  • Stop using words that disconnect and create the relational safety kids need to grow their skills
  • Identify how to positively influence your child's behavior and reduce power struggles
  • Make conscious communication more natural and effective.

We'll cover the 4 Pillars of Communication.

Gain the skills to GROW with your child, expanding your own tolerance for stress as you help them develop independence, resiliency, and empathy. Here's the roadmap.

  • Awareness (know why you get stuck)

  • Regulation (learn how to move forward)

  • Perspective (know what to look for next)

  • Communication (learn to say the right words)

Here's a secret about MY "parenting" workshops.

They're a lot LESS about "parenting" and a whole lot more about feeling confident, content, and secure in the decisions you make for your family.

High Stress = Low Tolerance

Your perspective of behavior is skewed when you're not feeling resourceful.

When stress is high, it's difficult to see a future where our needs are met and our kids are flexible, resilient, and cooperative.

It’s so hard to say the right things when we’re angry, stressed, or worried. 

We might fixate on how sensitive they are, how much time and energy it takes to help them regulate, how tired we are, or how often they defy or disrespect us. 

We want quick tips to help us HELP our kids, but we’re missing how to put that into action! 

Maybe you have my communication cards, but you're still wondering, 

“How do I get my kids to listen?” 

You're not alone. This is the #1 question most parents ask - and it's the #1 perspective I want you to shift. 

If you find yourself saying, “Yes, I want to communicate with my kids with love and compassion - but what do I say?”

I want to help you look beyond behavior.

  • And SO much more!

    You might find it difficult to endure your child's emotions.

    When we don't see immediate change, we can become critical and controlling or passive and distant.

    Our kid's emotions or refusal may feel like an attack on our authority or a refusal to accept our boundaries. 

    I can help you identify where you need to make changes so you can have MORE patience and better relationships in the long run.

    Whether it’s our own hidden feelings or our children’s unclear needs - there’s always something more behind what we see.
