In this episode, I'm joined by three women from my parenting coaching group for a very real conversation about what brought them to coaching—and what actually changed once they got there.

We talk about tantrums, yelling, discipline, permissiveness, control, chaotic mornings, teeth brushing (so much teeth brushing), and the uncomfortable realization that sometimes the work we want to do on our kids is actually work we need to do within ourselves.

Not because everything is our fault. And not because our kids' behavior doesn't matter.

But because when we understand our own patterns, triggers, fears, and need for control, we have a whole lot more choice about what happens next.

In This Episode:

  • Why parents often come to coaching wanting to "fix" a behavior—and discover something much deeper

  • What happens when the parenting tools that worked with one child don't work with another

  • The difference between permissive, authoritarian, and authoritative parenting

  • Why boundaries and emotional attunement belong together

  • How our own reactions can unintentionally escalate our kids

  • Why stepping in to fix everything for our kids isn't always helping them

  • What group coaching actually looks and feels like from the people inside it

The goal isn't to become a perfectly calm parent who never gets triggered.

It's to notice more, understand more, and have more choice in how you respond. And over time, that changes your relationship with your kids—and the energy in your home.

If you're working your butt off to be a good parent but keep finding yourself in the same patterns, you don't have to figure it out alone.
