The way you're parenting isn't working anymore - not with this kid, not in this situation.
Maybe there’s more yelling,
Maybe there’s more silence...
Moms Come to me Saying...
I’m so stressed trying to parent this kid.
I’m being tossed around on the tidal waves of their emotions and I never know which way is up. I'm getting triggered way too much, over-reacting and making everything worse and then laying awake regretting my behaviour. My anxiety is driving my parenting, and this is not the kind of parent I want to be.
I don’t know how to help my kid with their mental health challenges.
They want their independence but I’m worried sick that the important things will fall through the cracks. I don't want to smother them but I don’t know how to let go and still support them properly. They are full of resentment and I'm feeling lost.
My kid has shut me out.
I brace myself for the silence and try to accept it, but it really hurts. I'm constantly distressed not knowing what’s going on for them and spinning in thoughts about losing them completely. But when I try to talk to them, it just drives them farther away.
If this sounds like you, you're in the right place.
There is another way.
Although things feel messed up right now, I promise you that there is a way through this for you.
You can develop a new level of steadiness in yourself so that, even when you suddenly land in unfamiliar territory, you do and say what you really mean. Instead of overwhelmed and overreactive, you’re grounded and clear.
You have new ways of communicating so that you both feel seen and heard.
You ride the waves of their big emotions without being pulled under.
You support them without taking on what’s not yours to carry.
You regain your lightheartedness and actually enjoy hanging out with them.
You develop a way of parenting that's aligned with who you are and what you believe, and feels good deep down inside.
That’s what I call ‘Peace in your Parenting’.
You've done a lot of work to get this far.
I know you’ve given a lot of love and weathered many challenges. Can I invite you to pause here and feel that accomplishment in your heart? Parenting is tough and you’ve stayed in.
Maybe you’ve gone to workshops and read books, but didn’t feel right trying to apply generic solutions to one of the most complex and precious relationships in your life.
You’ve also done some inner work, like energy healing, therapy, reiki, or spiritual deepening. You've had some important insights, but they didn’t quite translate into your daily interactions with your kid. (That happens to most of us.)
You're don't want a quick fix or a scripted solution. You're looking for more depth and a real change in yourself that will change your relationship with your almost-adult child.
"We were barely talking and when we did, it usually ended in screaming and slamming doors. I felt like I was falling backwards as a parent and I was scared. But within weeks of starting this journey with you, I was already getting my footing... These changes in me amaze me. I'm slower and much more thoughtful about what I say. It has changed how we treat each other and that makes my heart sing every day."

"This was an amazing experience, much more than I expected. I'd hoped to learn how to be a little less anxious but I discovered a whole new part of myself. Lori was so attuned with where I am on my own journey as a woman and a mother. She designed very personal practices for me to do. They were so challenging some days... but now the change in me feels permanent. I love the way I’m being a mother now.”
