Just like that.
Just like that, we welcome them into the world… exhausted and in awe.
We wipe their tears. Tie their shoes. Teach them how to use a fork. Sit beside them through fevers, heartbreak, friend drama, slammed doors, self-doubt, and all the beautiful chaos of growing up.
And then one day, somehow impossibly fast, they stand in a graduation cap and gown and prepare to launch into whatever is next.
As both a mother and someone who walks alongside parents professionally, I can say this with certainty: parenting is the longest exercise in loving deeply while slowly learning to let go.
There is grief in these milestones. And pride. And wonder.
A thousand ordinary moments that suddenly reveal themselves as sacred.
To my daughter, thank you for making me your mother. Watching you become yourself has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.
And to every parent standing at the edge of a graduation season with tears in your eyes… I see you. We grew up too.
When our kids started high school, my husband had one fear he kept coming back to.
Who are they going to find?
Not grades. Not teachers. Not the schedule.
Who will they sit with at lunch. Who will they text at midnight. Who will they become when we are not watching.
The hardest shift for him was learning to give space without disappearing. To trust without checking out. To stay close in a completely different way than before.
High school is often framed as their transition. But if we are honest, it is ours too.
If you are standing at that doorway right now, this workshop is for you.

Virtual on zoom
6pm-8pm MST
This is the season where many parents start asking:
-Am I doing too much… or not enough?
-How do I stay close without pushing them away?
-What actually matters now?
-What do I need to teach them?
If any part of you is feeling that mix of love, worry, and “I want to get this right,” you’re not alone.
We’ll talk about what really helps connection during these years, what tends to backfire (even when it comes from love), and how to stay anchored as your child steps into a bigger world.

This is a though and exciting time for your kids.
They are not little kids but they aren’t quite high schoolers either.
They’re in between and honestly so are you as a parent.
This workshop is to help you navigate this huge and exciting transition.

The goal isn’t just getting them to high schoolers. It’s staying connected through this change.
Join me for this one. It’s super meaningful.

High school isn’t just a new building.
It’s a whole identity shift.
New friends.
New pressures.
New versions of themselves trying to emerge.
And for parents?
Less control and more unknown.
This workshop isn’t about getting it “right.”
It’s about understanding what your kid is actually going through so you don’t lose them in the process.
Because the goal isn’t just getting them into high school…
It’s staying connected while they’re in it.

The transition to high school is a lot.
For them… and for you.
New environment.
New expectations.
New social dynamics.
And a whole new level of independence.
This workshop is designed to help both of you feel more prepared, more grounded, and more connected going into this next chapter.
Because high school isn’t just an academic shift - it’s an emotional one too.
If you want to support your teen without hovering or losing connection, this is for you.

You made me a mother
in one breath,
one cry,
one mysterious, magical moment.
And ever since,
you’ve been expanding my heart
in ways I didn’t know were possible.
Happy birthday, Sage.
Being your mom is everything.
