All the tools you need to transform your relationship with your children - and yourself.
I believe each of us is whole - we don't need fixing.
AND: if we don't have the tools we need to parent with intention (tools like communication strategies, calming our nervous systems, and self-reflection), intentional parenting may not be within our reach.
During this 12 week course (and forever afterward!) you will have access to videos from Master Parenting Coaches as well as an in-depth reflective workbook that will help you deepen your connection to self and your understanding of the week's topic.
Whether your children are infants, school age, teens or adults, this course will give you the tools you need to show up as your best self when you're in the role of parent.
I encourage you to set aside about 30-90 minutes a week when it works for you to do the workbook and watch videos, which will give you a good understanding of each week's topic and allow us to go deeper in sessions. Many people do 10 minutes a day, or a couple longer sessions. Whatever works for your schedule!
Welcome + Orientation
Here we get to know each other, we set out the logistics, and we create our coaching container so you are ready for success in the face of challenge.
Setting Your Intentions as an Empowered Parent
This week we align your compass so you know where you're heading for the rest of the journey. We will identify your potential blind spots so that you remain fully supported and fueled for our work together.
The 10 Pillars of Empowered Parenting
In this module we will explore the essential components of being an empowered parent. We will take a look at where we've come from and use that understanding to shape how we move forward.
Making Sense of Attachment Science
Here we take advantage of the latest neuroscience research to understand our relationship to our emotions. Then we learn how to move into a secure connection within ourselves, intentionally create that connection with our children, and ultimately teach them to develop their own secure connection.
Making Sense of Nervous System Science
This week we continue into the realm of science, looking at how our nervous systems operate to keep us safe. We will practice several tools to help you regulate your nervous system, support your child when they are dysregulated, and repair the relationship when it all goes off the rails.
Making Sense of Mindsight and Brain Science
Don't get put off by all the science here, let's call it evidence-based practices. In this module we use the science to truly see our children for the gorgeous, unique individuals they are. We learn to see beyond the fits, the tantrums, and all the behaviors as we explore our children's perspective and inner landscape.
Making Sense of Emotional Intelligence
This is the secret sauce. This week we dive into feelings, needs, and beliefs and how to embrace them all through empathy.
Empowered Conversations
Here we discover your voice. Have you muted yourself to try and keep the peace? Do you have to scream and shout to get anyone to listen? This week we craft a script that will help you to use your voice, be heard by others, and see positive results in action.
Establishing Boundaries from Your Family's Values
In this module we create your customized family plan based on what you believe matters most. We will practice the ultimate parenting tool, the PEACE process, which brings together everything we've learned throughout the course.
Exploring Anger and Healthy Aggression
This week alone drastically changed my life. We gain a new perspective on the benefits of anger and acceptable ways to show aggression. Yes, we get to let it out rather than stuff it down, and teach our children how to do the same.
Playful Parenting and Storytelling
Here we take a grand adventure into the many forms of play, beyond toys and pretend, and how to ease the transition from serious grownup to playful parent.
Your Personal Transformation
This is really a checkpoint, not the end of the road. We take this time to look back at where we started and celebrate the amazing accomplishments you've achieved along the way. You will have an opportunity to renew your commitment to empowered parenting, and set off to continue the journey with the compass and map that you've created for yourself and your family.
