Welcome!
Are you a parent and a high-achiever often feeling:
- Overwhelmed as there’s too much to handle in personal and professional life?
- Guilty and disconnected from your children due to not spending enough time with them?
- Tense or irritated due to miscommunication?
If you’ve answered YES to any or all of the above, then I can help.
My goal is to make your home a safe haven to come back to instead of a battlefield filled with tantrums.
I provide you with the tools to reconnect with your children so you can feel joy and fulfillment.
This is about you
It’s ironic, right? You are a high-achieving, successful professional, yet often, you feel like you’re not in control of your own life.
Over time, the same traits that help you achieve in your professional life start to turn on you.
Your brain never stops, you’ve lost your space to retreat, especially now with boundaries between work, home and school dissolving.
In bed you’re planning, you fall asleep (if you can sleep!) while thinking about what you have to do tomorrow. You wake up feeling behind instead of refreshed.
One day you realize that you are in an almost constant state of stress and anxiety.
I know this because I’ve been there too… (read more about what happened in my life)
Some of the most common issues we as high achieving parents have are:
- overcompensating for the lack of time spent with our kids,
- feeling guilty about not being there for them,
- feeling disconnected from our children,
- feeling the lack of communication
- frustration and anger building up both for the kids and ourselves
- not really knowing what is going on with them
- running out of ideas on dealing with the tantrums, bad attitudes, aggressiveness, and self-harming behaviors.
I will be honest with you – you probably think you have time, later, to deal with this. Yet if there are chaos and stress or major changes on the home front, every day you let that continue makes it harder to dig out later, if ever.
Do you want to walk into your home and feel like it’s a refuge instead of a battleground?
Imagine looking into your child’s eyes and seeing trust and respect reflected back, instead of fear or resentment
Imagine coming home to a house filled with laughter and acceptance… instead of having to prepare for another round of kicking and screaming
Imagine looking forward to spending time with your child instead of dreading it.
Imagine if you didn’t have to carry the fear that you might lose grip and go too far one day.
Imagine everyone going to bed with a smile and having a good night’s sleep.
Our kids don’t come with a manual when they are born, they each have their own personality as do we.
There is no perfect formula nor do I have a magic wand to make your worries go away.
I can however share the tools that have allowed me to make all of the above happen and I will guide you into course-correcting your parenting journey towards fulfillment.
