I was a step-mom and had no idea what I was supposed to do.
With the support of my husband and my step-children’s mother, plus a loving therapist, I made my way, somewhat clumsily and painfully.
Several years later, my husband and I were blessed with the birth of our son. My family was complete!
And then he turned two.
I realized that biology didn’t matter. I needed serious help. All the parenting ideas from my therapist, classes, books, websites were not working. I reached out to a parenting coach and found the support I needed.
I knew I’d found my calling.
The work I did to make the change from an overwhelmed mom to be an effective mom excited me.
I overcame my parenting problems and decided I wanted other moms to feel the freedom and joy in parenting that I was so grateful to feel.
You can feel confident in your parenting with support from me as you learn a way of parenting that combines the traditional tried and true with the unconditional love, devotion, and values that you already have.
MOM
I get the struggle. The pain is real. For every “This is why I became a mother” moment, there are many moments of frustration, monotony, fear, and insecurity. Effective parenting means knowing how to manage those emotions with love and leadership.
I understand that being partners in love can look differently than being partners in parenting. I support you when and if you and your partner have different parenting approaches.
I am a Certified Leadership Parent Coach (CLPC). I am inspired to help parents learn how to be the loving and effective parents they long to be.
I was an actress on the small screen. My acting training comes in handy when I need to keep a straight face during my own parenting challenges.
