2025-10-30 11:30 - 12:30, 2025-10-23 11:30 - 12:30 (America/New_York)
Parenting while building a career can feel like you’re constantly reacting — to your kids, your boss, your inbox, and the endless demands on your time. It’s easy to get stuck on autopilot.
This pod is about taking the wheel back. The Intentional Parent gives you the tools to step out of “just surviving” and start choosing how you show up at work, at home, and in your own life. Together, we’ll uncover your values, sharpen your confidence, and strengthen the way you communicate what you need and want. By the end, you’ll walk away with a renewed sense of direction and practical strategies for creating more alignment, harmony, and joy.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about living on purpose.
What We’ll Cover:

Week 1 – Clarifying Who You Want to Be
Week 2 – Building Your Confidence Toolkit
Week 3 – Communicating Your Wants and Needs
Week 4 – Living Aligned

Unleashed: Raising Brave, Capable Kids (Week 4)
2025-07-22 15:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
A 4-week group coaching experience for parents ready to step back—so their kids can step up.
Modern parenting is full of pressure—and fear. We’re told to protect our kids from every possible discomfort, but in doing so, we often rob them of the chance to grow. Inspired by The Anxious Generation, Let Grow, and the Free-Range Parenting movement, this pod is for parents who want to raise confident, resilient, independent kids—but find themselves caught in the anxiety-fueled culture of modern parenting.
Over four weeks, we’ll explore what it really takes to foster independence and emotional strength in our kids—starting with a shift in us. You’ll connect with other thoughtful parents, gain tools to challenge anxious narratives, and build a new kind of confidence: the kind that lets you loosen your grip and trust your child to grow.
What We’ll Cover:
🧠 Week 1 – What Are We So Afraid Of?
Get curious about what’s really driving overprotection—and how to begin breaking the cycle.
🔑 Week 2 – The Freedom Formula
Learn how to encourage independence at any age, support risk-taking, and help kids grow from failure.
💬 Week 3 – Rewiring Ourselves
Tame your own anxiety, respond with calm, and practice letting go in ways that still feel safe.
🌱 Week 4 – Brave Kids, Brave Parents
Reflect, celebrate progress, and design a home culture that values trust, growth, and resilience.
