Welcome to
CONFIDENT & CONNECTED
For midlife parents who are ready to stop walking on eggshells with their teen and start leading with grounded clarity and connection.
In this free class, you’ll learn:
- how to create calm, cooperation, and connection — even in the most challenging moments.Â
- how to get your teen listening to you and your brilliant wisdom, or your perspective, without yelling, backtalk, or breakdowns
- common mistakes even the most well-intentioned parents make, and what to do instead
Here’s the truth:
It’s not that you’re failing.
It’s that no one ever taught you how to parent through midlife and the teen years — at the same time. This class gives you the tools, systems, and emotional grounding to move from pressure to presence.
In This Life-Changing FREE CLASS You'll Discover:
The 3 real reasons your t(w)een is struggling —
whether it’s low motivation, defiance, or disconnection — and the simple shifts you can make right now to see big improvements fast.
My #1 connection tool — the one that gets your teen listening, cooperating, and doing what they need to do without the eye-rolls or power struggles (while deepening trust)
My signature 4-part system —
a step-by-step approach for solving your biggest parenting challenges — rooted in neuroscience, nervous system awareness, and emotional intelligence
For the midlife parent who feels stretched too thin...
This isn’t about being the “perfect parent.”
It’s about finally feeling like your best self  — while raising a teen who thrives.Â
Midlife is already a full season — your hormones, identity, and priorities are shifting right alongside your teen’s.
This class gives you relief from the emotional load and practical steps to create real connection that lasts.
