Helping Good Parents Become Trusted Grown-ups™

The pandemic was a challenging time for everyone.  In my life, it brought to the surface a lot of unprocessed and unhealed emotions.  This caused me to begin to go to therapy regularly.  

 

What I learned in that time was that anger is a secondary emotion and this awakened something in me:  there were huge gaps in what I had been taught and learned about emotions growing up.  Like everyone else, I had always felt them, but now I wanted to know exactly what they were, their purpose, and why we have them.  

 

I began to ask myself, "what did I need to know when I was my kids' age?  If I knew then what I know now, how differently would my life have turned out?"  Kids see more than we know and know more than we realize.   I believe that with the correct tools and education, kids can build a healthy framework around expressing their emotions and inner-world.

​

From there, The Anger Inside and The Fear Inside were born.  As a millennial mom, I have been doing my own healing work for years, but how do I teach my kids all these valuable lessons? I am on a mission to give parents and kids tools to honor and understand their own emotions. My book's strategies can be used as opportunities of connection, so parents and kids can have words, so parents can help and kids can feel seen and heard. I want to help Good Parents become Trusted Grown-ups™.
