Ripple Effect Parenting

Make sure you swipe through to see tips on how to prep your kids for your trip! 🧳

I’ll be gone for 8 days…with no cell reception for most of that time. 😳 And believe me, I have ALL the feelings about leaving my kids. That’s motivating me to prep us all the best I can…and then let go and enjoy it!

I heard this quote from Seth Lyon during a recent Parenting Masterclass with his partner and colleague

This is the essence of what I do as a parent coach. I’m not going to tell you exactly how to parent. I’m going to help you reconnect to your natural instincts and your ability to feel within yourself what your child needs (attunement).

Working on ourselves is the biggest gift we can give our kids. Send me a DM to schedule a free intro call today!

Parents are always well intentioned. They don’t want their kids to experience negative feelings (sadness, fear, anger). But the thing is…kids will only learn to MANAGE those emotions if we allow them to FEEL those emotions.

I have a free resource all about helping kids manage big emotions right now for my email subscribers. I’m going to be changing up this free resource soon, so sign up for my list now to get it while it’s still here! Link in bio.⬆️

I love when I hear the sentiment behind .effect.parenting out in the wild. Last week, I listened to a Parenting Masterclass by , a nervous system health educator. Wow, was it a good reminder that parenting starts with healing ourselves and building our own capacity for regulation. This creates the ‘drop’ that ripples outward to our children.

This is one of the most important MINDSET shifts that you can make as a parent. Every single thing your kid does, positive or negative, is telling you something.

Can you see your child BENEATH their behavior? What is happening for your child (socially, emotionally, developmentally) that is causing this behavior?

This is hard work. It’s really challenging to see the struggling 3-year-old beneath the screaming tantrum.
But it is a GAME CHANGER for your relationship with your child.

Children do well when they sense that their parent SEES beneath their behavior, and connects with them in a relationally safe way— without trying to CHANGE or FIX them.

If we can’t laugh during this season of life, we are lost.

I just listened to a recent episode of Unruffled, a podcast by called ‘Losing It - Understanding What Makes Us Snap’ with Elisabeth Corey.

✨One of my big take-aways was the reminder that the more we cultivate SELF-compassion, the more compassion we’ll have with our children.

✔️TRY THIS: Today, when you ‘screw up’ as a parent, as we inevitably do, can you meet yourself with compassion? Can you talk to yourself as you would your best friend or your toddler?

💙They also talked about the desire to close the gap between who we want to be as parents and where we actually are. This is exactly my goal as a parent coach! If you are looking for a space to process, heal, and grow as a parent, send me a DM!

I'm so tired of 'parenting hacks' and people who claim they can make my life easier as a parent. I am ALWAYS disappointed. Parenting is hard. It just is. And the sooner we accept that, the sooner we can release any guilt or shame we feel about it and get to work.

I do not promise that working with me as a parenting coach will make your life easier. That’s not what it’s about. I do promise a non-judgmental space to process, heal, learn, and grow. A place to make peace with the challenging nature of the parenting journey.

If this sounds intriguing to you, send me a DM to learn more about working with me. I currently offer one-on-one coaching sessions, and soon will provide a few group coaching options!

October overwhelm? I've got you. I just sent out my October newsletter with 3 helpful reminders for this time of year. Sign-up here:

Ripple Effect Parenting We read a few books, listen to some podcasts, and tell ourselves that we’ll figure it out as we go along. And then we watch our good intentions vanish with the reality and stress of daily parenting.

The story behind the name...I remember the moment I realized that parenting was not about my kids. It was about me. If I do my own work, to heal from my past, to identify my triggers, to self-regulate, then I create the drop that ripples outward. That's a big responsibility. It is terrifying...and empowering! When WE change, our children’s behavior changes. 🤯
