I help parents drowning in daily behaviors, putting out fires, and walking on eggshells with not only their children but also often family, friends, or even their spouse. I help to create permanent, life altering changes in the relationships that matter most. I didn't start here though. Read below to learn more about my journey, or click here to listen to a few recent podcast interviews or episodes from my show: "Sometimes Love Isn't Enough"
I am an adoptive and bio mom, former foster mom, adoption coach, speech therapist, and have worked in the autism field for 2+ decades. I am also a Quantum Human Design Certified Level 2 Specialist. I know firsthand that raising children who are difficult to connect with, and who often display challenging behaviors, takes a huge toll on parents.
This can often lead to shame, anxiety, depression, isolation, and a growing loss of hope. I know this because I've been there.
When I adopted my son, I had high hopes. I knew I could love him, and offer him a safe and caring home. Plus, I felt that with my experience in the behavioral health, I was more-than-prepared to handle any challenge thrown my way.
Pretty quickly behaviors escalated in our home, and pretty quickly I swooped into "help-mode." I did everything I knew how to do to help - signed him up for every program and resource I could find, followed all the recommendations, literally DID EVERYTHING I could to help, and behaviors kept getting worse.
As I grew exhausted from behaviors, I started noticing myself regretting and resenting - 2 feelings a parent never wants to feel. My actions weren't helping, and in fact my trying so hard was making behaviors, and our relationship, worse.
I was a victim to my son's behaviors. I was on-edge at work, waiting for the next phone call. I avoided family and friend gatherings. I cancelled dinner plans, small day trips and big vacations. I felt isolated, anxious, overwhelmed.
To make things worse, I was beating myself up. I chose to adopt my son. The steps to adoption were not easy! Adoption takes time, patience, money, lawyers, caseworkers, home-studies, and tons of emotional and educational preparation. I promised him a loving and happy home, but instead he has a home with many rules, tension, and a mom who has become so focused on behaviors. Life was not fun.
I was at the end of my rope.
What I didn't know then - HOW I was showing up for my son was significantly more important than WHAT I was doing.
I hired a mindset coach.
Holy cow! The change in my relationships has been drastic! The other people in my life didn't have to change at all. I had to do the work on me, on my mindset, so that I could show up with unconditional love - no matter how the other person behaves.
Once I started working with a coach, I knew this was the missing piece for me in learning how to show up for my son in our relationship. I quickly learned that our relationship was so hard, and I was so overwhelmed, because trying harder was NOT the solution! I learned that I needed to break through my old ways of parenting so that I could show up for my son exactly as he needed - as a connected parent.
But I didn't stop there. Once I started working with clients, I realized something else was still missing.
I found that coaching was helping my clients change their mindset - how they were thinking and feeling, and as a result, responding to behaviors. But while we were seeing some drastic changes in behaviors, there still seemed to be a missing piece - understanding their child's unique energy needs were still a bit of a struggle, creating a lingering sense of uncertainty and overwhelm.
