I'm focusing on the dads and all those who are partnered or co-parenting.

Inner Calm = CONNECTION
3 small but powerful things to help you stay grounded and present, resulting in deeper connection.
You may be more connected than you think
Connection can show up in a million and one different ways and is most certainly not a one-size fits all type of thing. And here’s the secret pathway to building that connection…
Understanding resistance and push back...
My daughter perceived my excitement as me trying to control her decision. And, if I’m being completely honest with myself, maybe there was some truth to that.
Am I talking too much as a parent? And what's driving that?
When we come to them from that place of fear, our messaging gets too intense and too blurry, and therefore glossed over by our kids.
Sexuality and Culture
Our kids are growing up trying to fit into a social expectation that does nothing but contradict itself. A world that scolds us when we’re too insecure, but also when we’re too confident. Too curvy, or not curvy enough. Too shy, or too bold. Too sexy. Not sexy enough…
How to be the "cool" parent....
How to be the “cool” parent. Let’s talk about it.

Transforming Fear to Courage
Fear. A totally normal emotion that comes when you have something to lose. And let’s face it - as parents who love our kiddos more than life itself, we have a lot to lose.
Friendship and Discernment
If you’re anything like me, one of the thoughts that keeps you up at night is worrying about your daughter’s friend groups. Do her friends treat her well? Does she treat them well?
Collective Wisdom
While this can be a wonderful time for self-reflection and tuning into your inner-wisdom, it can also feel like a terribly lonely time. Self-reflection can quickly slip into self-doubt. Building a community of other consciously-minded parents can help you navigate those fears that can certainly arise.
Rupture and Repair
They can feel extremely painful, deregulating, and even scary. But the thing is, fights should happen. We connect, we disconnect, and we reconnect. That is the heart of any relationship.
Connection and Family Orientation
As you well know, connection is my schtick. How we connect, when we connect, why we connect, can we connect?? Connection and emotional bonding are key parts of being a human.
