Are you being kind to yourself?

How are you doing today?

Like really doing?

Not the “I’m fine” you say between Zoom calls or in the school drop-off line.

Here’s what I see with most parents:

You're pouring everything into keeping everyone else okay—managing clients, fielding late-night texts, juggling deadlines and dinner—while your own well-being sits dangerously close to empty.

So let me ask:

→ When was the last time you did something just because it brought you joy?
→ Is that voice in your head cheering you on—or tearing you down?
→ When you snap at your teen and the guilt creeps in… do you offer yourself the grace you'd give a friend?

Most parents don’t realize how harsh their inner critic is until someone points it out.

That voice that says:
“What’s wrong with you?”
“You can’t afford to drop the ball.”
“Other parents seem to handle this better.”

When we work together, we don’t just talk about how to get your teen to listen.

We focus on how you talk to yourself—clearly, kindly, and without judgment—because that shapes everything else.

One parent told me:

“I came to you for parenting help, but what surprised me most was how much lighter I feel inside. I’m not constantly walking around with that voice saying, ‘You’re not doing enough.’ I feel closer and confident—and so does my daughter.”

If that speaks to something in you—let’s talk.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

P.S. If you’re tired of snapping at your teen, lying awake replaying the day, or wondering if you’re making things worse—book a Parenting Breakthrough Call.

Let’s help you move from yelling about dishes left in the sink to having an actual conversation about responsibility...

From lying awake at 2am wondering where you went wrong to falling asleep knowing you handled things with grace...
