As a parent, do you ever feel alone? Do you feel like you are ruining your children? Do you feel overrun by guilt or want to get feedback without judgment? 

I feel you.

Oprah & Maya

Oprah Winfrey once said, “I don’t think anybody makes it in the world without some form of mentorship.” Oprah’s mentor was Maya Angelou. Since Maya’s passing, Oprah reported she still relies on her late mentor’s words to stay grounded. 

Oprah’s sentiment brings up two thoughts for me:

1. Parents need and deserve parenting mentorship.
2. I would not have survived the beginning of motherhood without my friend Amy. 

Rewind to 2003

I was maybe two months pregnant, and my areolas looked like flying saucers. I drove straight to my friend Amy’s house, marched in, lifted up my shirt, and cried, “Is this normal?” I could have consulted my mom, aunt, or doctor, but I needed to hear from Amy. 

Amy was just a little bit older than me, a lot wiser, and she had experienced pregnancy. She promised me that my flying saucers were temporary and that I had solid pregnancy hormones. I instantly felt better- even proud of my body!

Looking back, I realize that Amy was my mentor. She was always there to share her wisdom, help me see what I could not see alone, and celebrate even my most minor victories. I am forever grateful to Amy. I think of her unconditional love and generous heart when working with parents and families.

I’m not sure how I would have gotten through motherhood’s beginning stages without Amy’s support. I have strategically sought out that type of mentorship ever since. 

The benefits of mentorship and my own experiences are why I created Mindful-Ish™️ Parenting Monthly. 

Mindful-Ish™ Parenting

Mindful-Ish™ Parenting is my body of work- an energetic approach for healing your inner child while strengthening your current relationship with your child, no matter the circumstances. It stops the endless search for “right” answers about parenting, discipline, and behavior. Instead, Mindful-Ish™ Parenting strategies increase your ability to choose who you want to be and how you want to be in parenting moments- creating transformational change in your children. 

Mindful-Ish™ Parenting Monthly

Mindful-Ish™ Parenting Monthly is a reminder that you are not alone. We are a group of parents who want tools to experience more joy and ease in parenting and familial relationships.  We are willing to learn from each others’ experiences. 

I coach the group from a mentor’s lense- sharing my knowledge, skills, and experience while you develop and grow! Likewise, I learn and expand my awareness from you as well. We do this through monthly Zoom sessions, and you will have access to a WhatsApp support channel that I monitor.

Who is this for?

Mindful-Ish™ Parenting is for all parents and a must for parents with challenging children or for parents going through a difficult time. Please join me in there!
