Reader —

I remember a time when I found myself thinking, “I’m being empathetic. Things are improving. So why am I still so frustrated?”

There seemed to be something missing in those days.

I’d follow the steps. First, I’d try to “regulate” and then I’d help my child. We were using the sensory tools, and my kid was feeling pretty good.

But I was a mess. ​
I was tired of listening.
I was out of patience.

I felt... neglected.

Who was this helping?
Is compassion ever the wrong response?
Was building her resilience worth breaking mine?

If you’ve ever considered quitting the conscious parenting path or felt unsure if it’s actually sustainable...

I’ve been there too.

Without a nonjudgmental, respectful parenting model, we take a leap of faith. No wonder we doubt ourselves — and sometimes give too much.

But I was able to go from depleted (and questioning everything) to feeling connected to my inner authority and aware of what I truly needed.

I had to change up my requests.
I had to notice things I never considered.

And even more importantly, I shifted how I expressed my needs because I finally understood what was happening to me in all those reactive moments.

And I can tell you this — I stopped focusing on self-regulation for a while. There was more important work I needed to do first.

And I want to share it with you in our upcoming workshop because you matter too, Hello Reader!

The Past is Your Key to a New Future.

Put yourself first. Behavioral solutions only take you so far. Take the first step to improving your relationships — long-term.

History doesn't have to repeat.

You'll finally transform longstanding patterns because you stop looking on the outside for answers.

Power doesn't equal influence.

Stop letting punitive control sabotage your relationships and harm your influence, leading to a cycle of unconscious battles.

A perspective shift is all that stands between you and guidance that teaches REAL skills.

After this series, you'll know exactly what you need to prepare your kids to thrive with compassion instead of control.
