Curious about getting help, but don't want to feel judged?

If you read Tuesday’s story about Laura and thought, I want that shift, but I have no idea what working with you actually looks like, this will help.

A lot of parents tell me they’ve hovered over the scheduling link and never clicked because they don’t know what they’re walking into.

They say things like:

“Is this going to feel awkward?”
“What if I cry?”
“Are you going to tell me everything I’m doing wrong?”
“Is this therapy?”
“Am I going to be judged?”

Totally understandable.
Let me take the mystery out of it so you can see what actually happens.

What we do first

We don’t start with strategy.
We start with you, what’s been happening at home and how it’s all been feeling.

Not the polished version.
Not the I’m fine version.

The real one.

You get to talk honestly about the exhaustion, the fear, and the moments you don’t say out loud to anyone because you don’t want to sound dramatic or negative.

There’s room for all of that.

A mom recently told me,
“I thought you were going to tell me what I was doing wrong. Instead, you actually understood me. I didn't realize how much I needed that.”

Once she could finally exhale, we could start talking about the dynamic she wanted to change.

What we actually talk about

You’ll tell me what’s been happening.
I’ll help you understand why it’s happening.

We look at how to stay connected in the hard moments, while still holding firm, calm boundaries.

You might hear me say things like:

“This makes sense, and here’s why.”
“You’re not crazy to feel this way.”
“Here’s what your teen might be experiencing underneath that behavior.”
“Here’s what would help in that moment.”

Parents usually exhale and say,
“I’ve never heard it explained like that before, this helps so much.”

And they leave with a few simple shifts that feel less like work and more like relief.

What you won’t get from me

You won’t get:

• a lecture about everything you’re doing wrong

• a list of flaws you need to fix

• a “perfect parent” standard you have to live up to

• pressure to sign up for something you’re not ready for

This isn’t about judging you.
It’s about supporting you in a chapter of parenting that no one prepared us for.

So… what’s the point of the call?

It’s not a sales pitch.

The point is for you to leave feeling clearer, calmer, and more hopeful, and knowing exactly what would help in the moments that currently blow up.

Whether we work together afterward or not.

Because sometimes one conversation with someone who gets it is enough to think,

Okay. Maybe I’m not failing. Maybe this is just hard, and I don’t have to do it alone.

If you've been sitting with this since Tuesday…

If you read Laura’s story and thought, this is too familiar, and you’ve been waiting for things to stop feeling so tense or unpredictable, maybe this is your moment.

You don’t have to commit to anything long-term.

Just one honest conversation, in your own room, where you don’t have to hold it together.
