Arrgh, it looks like a unedited draft version of this email was accidentally sent to you this morning. I'm so sorry. THIS is what should have been sent. 😫

Hi Reader,

If you're anything like me, you just paid over $50 bucks to fill up your Honda, thinking, "Whaaaat? This is not sustainable."

And you know what happens when unexpected financial stress hits our homes...

It's one of the top reasons parents slide back into strict and controlling parenting.

When we're worried about covering our basic needs, we tend to clamp down on other sources of tension in our lives to maintain a sense of control.

In families already struggling, this can make things 10x worse.

As someone who was raised in an abusive home (hidden behind a veil of suburban normalcy), I want parents to have it easier — not be less effective!

So I want to help recession-proof your parenting and take at least one load off your mind.

If your teenager is a few years away from adulthood but can't even get an assignment in on time, and you have no idea how to motivate them, we can solve that challenge together with the executive function lessons in the Essentials Bundle.

If you're up at 10 pm exhausted because your kids bickered ALL day and you couldn't get anything else done, we can help you move past these obstacles with the Communication Cards.

If you're worried your child is too emotional, too sensitive, and too picky, and you're worried they won't understand the world won't cater to them, we can figure that out together with the sensitive kids lessons in the Essentials Bundle.

My Digital Communication Cards are now 25% off while these high costs persist. Reg. $28—$30 ➡️ Now $21—23.

Tariffs and steadily rising shipping costs are real, but suspending all international shipping wasn't on my BINGO card, so we've made these digital items more accessible.

I know parenting support feels like a luxury right now, and maybe not so peaceful.

In this collection, I share everything I know about raising peaceful kids from the perspective of someone who didn't have a good model.

Because I was raised with:

• force & control
• the "fear of God" put in me
• blame, shame, and name-calling
• harsh punishment (grounded for months, made to write "I will not talk back." 10k times, yes 10k.)

When I had my child, I had the absolute best intentions to be fair and empathetic with the self-regulation capacity of an end-of-summer Yellow Jacket.

Aggressive. Stinging. Wild.

I had to learn that I didn't have to be forceful to be impactful, but I needed to know the difference between conscious, passive, and permissive parenting.

They get lumped together and blamed for all kinds of struggles, such as learned helplessness, low motivation, and anxiety.

Most parents are told to be calm and logical. That's probably THE WORST advice I could give you. Logic cannot overcome emotional volatility.

It took time for me to learn to:

• put my emotions in their rightful place
• ask the right questions about behavior
• collaborate with my kid instead of controlling her

— After that, everything clicked in a way that allowed me to loosen my grip on my demands.

I was less reactive when I figured out how to communicate with conviction but not control.

The way I grew up... it was never going to be perfect. But I knew my relationship with my child could be a million times better than what I experienced.

If you've been on the fence because times are tight, you can now: ​
​➡️ Grab the digital cards for less than $23​​
​➡️ Access every course I have for $8/month​

If I could snap my fingers and change the world's economic outlook, I would. For now, I can make support more accessible by offering lower-priced digital cards and bundled courses.

Wishing you a beautiful week. Until next time, please remember, it's about being conscious - not perfect!

Talk soon,

p.s. The 8/mo bundle pricing is open at least until this crisis is over. So if you've been thinking about joining me, but putting it off because times are tight, this could be the moment. Access everything here.​
