Happy New Year! 🎊 - Reader -

Let's do something different this new year!

You might be feeling the pressure to "set new goals, make resolutions, envision your future..." But before you rush to add more to your 2025 "to-do" list - I want to offer an alternative.

πŸŽ‰ Make a list of your accomplishments to celebrate! πŸŽ‰

We can set New Year's goals in a few weeks (I'm hosting a live round of our 10-Day Virtual Retreat for anyone who has the workbook and wants to reset their relationships).

Feeling like you're so close to a real breakthrough...
Sensing a new level of confidence building...
Seeing signs things are turning around for the better...

Acknowledge how much hard work you've done. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

You might be thinking, "Great, but will all this effort pay off in noticeably consistent ways?"

We don't like the unknown.
Control is comfortable.
Self-regulation is hard.Β 
Not yelling might feel impossible.Β 

But you're doing it in small ways every day.​
Digging up old narratives.
Replacing toxic cycles.
Rewiring your brain.

Resisting the temptation to lean on your position of power to control your kids (even if you can only manage this ONCE per week) is a freaking monumental achievement.Β 

Honor those wins.Β Applaud the moments where you've been able to:

  • Walk away before blowing up.Β 
  • Notice your body's signals before acting on your impulses.Β 
  • Get curious about your motivations instead of blaming or giving in.Β 
  • Take a deep breath - even though control feels simpler and more familiar.Β 

This new year, I'm encouraging you to celebrate your successes (no matter how small)!!!Β πŸŽ‰

And take it slow🐒 - one day at a time.

Try not to look ahead more than a couple of weeks. Grab my 2-Week Conscious Planner for a quick outline on strengthening your emotional resilience.Β 

If you didn't have a strong communication model growing up or a close connection with your caregivers - my "stress-less" tools are invaluable for helping you break unhealthy habits!

Don't give up now! πŸ™ŒπŸ»

You're likely here because you're determined to let go of the past so you can have a better relationship with your kids. You don't have to rush into making resolutions to do more.

And if your kids still struggle with their emotions or behaviors, it's OK! Please know that it's not a failure of parenting - it's a learning phase.

Today, just know that I think you're pretty awesome for even trying to end the (still thriving) cycle of fear-based communication (blame, shame, judgment, and guilt), and I'm rooting for you to make big and little LEAPS this year!

Thank you for allowing me into your world to share how you can reparent your inner child and raise compassionate, self-assured kids without sacrificing your relationship or influence.

Remember, conscious - not perfect!! You got this!

Warmly,

​

p.s. Did I mention thousands of folks have taken this 10-Day Reset with me to jumpstart life-altering changes in their lives? πŸ‘€ And we're doing it again together - LIVE - starting Monday, Jan 20th.
