✨ 8 parents
✨ 8 weeks
✨ Real, therapeutic support — not surface-level tips

We start in January.
And one spot will be completely free 🎁

Feeling like you’re parenting without a map?

When the shouting, shutting down, and guilt cycle keeps repeating — it’s not because you’re failing.
It’s because no one taught you how to parent while healing your own pain.

That’s why I created this 🧡
A small therapeutic support group for parents of teens, starting this January.

What to expect:
• 8 weekly online sessions
• Just 8 parents — grounded, real, and safe
• €30 per session or €200 upfront
• Practical tools, reflection, and honest support that goes deeper than Instagram advice

You’ll leave with more clarity, more calm — and confidence rooted in understanding yourself, not “doing it perfectly.”

✨ BONUS: Register before Dec 31st and be entered to win a FREE place in the group.

Some families are singing carols in matching PJs.
Others are shouting about missing chargers and dodgy Wi-Fi.

If your house feels more like chaos than Christmas cheer — you’re not doing it wrong.

Messy moments are part of real connection.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence.

This week’s newsletter is a soft touchpoint — something grounding, human, and gentle for those of us doing our best in imperfect rooms.

So many parents think support means advice, fixes, or someone telling them what to do next.

But real support does something quieter — and far more powerful.

It slows the self-doubt.
It steadies your nervous system.
It reminds you that parenting isn’t meant to be done in isolation.

Inside the therapeutic parenting group, we talk honestly about the hard stuff — without judgement, without “perfect parent” pressure, and without pretending we’ve got it all together.

You don’t need to cope harder.
You don’t need to be stronger.
You don’t need to do this alone.

Let this be the support you didn’t know you were allowed to ask for.

If your version of festive peace is hiding in the bathroom with a cold cup of tea and five minutes of silence — you’re not alone. 🎄

Yes, this season brings joy.
It also brings pressure, perfectionism, emotional landmines, and everyone needing something right now.

So here’s your reminder:
✨ You don’t need to make it magical.
✨ You don’t need to get it all “right.”
✨ You definitely don’t need to match the energy of people who love December.

Your nervous system gets a say.
Your needs matter.
And your teen? They’ll remember how it felt — not how it looked.

Go gentle. Lower the bar. Microwave the hot chocolate.
And if all else fails… blame Mercury retrograde.
(It’s not, but they won’t check.)

Let’s be honest.
No one’s nervous system is thriving this week.

You’re overstimulated.
Your teen is mood-swinging like it’s a full-time job.
The dog ate the gingerbread house.
And it’s still Tuesday.

So before you lose it over a broken bauble or someone’s tone of voice (again) — here’s something that actually helps.

💥 The Emotional Regulation Cheat Sheet for Parents Who Are This Close to Snapping.

It’s free.
It’s real.
And it doesn’t tell you to “just breathe” (because… obviously you tried that).

Use it to ground yourself when the world’s on fire and your kid’s arguing over socks.

It might just save Christmas.
Or at least… your dignity.

“My teen won’t talk to me anymore…”

It’s not always defiance.
Sometimes it’s:
🧠 I don’t have the words
💬 I don’t know how you’ll react
😶 I’m scared I’ll get it wrong

When teens go quiet, it’s easy to panic, push harder, or take it personally.
But often, what they need most is a parent who stays steady — not louder.

👂 Calm presence matters more than constant pressure
💛 Safety is what invites sharing

You don’t need the perfect script.
You just need to keep showing up.

“My teen is way ahead of me with tech - I just can’t keep up.”

If you’ve ever thought that, you’re not alone.

That’s exactly why I sat down with Stephen Parkin, founder of , to talk about how AI is already shaping our teens’ lives - and how parents can stay grounded, informed, and connected without needing to be tech experts.

In this conversation, we explore:
→ What parents really need to know about AI, deepfakes, ChatGPT, and online safety
→ How teens are using AI to create, not just consume
→ How to raise thoughtful, ethical tech users - even if you feel behind

📺 The full conversation is now available inside the Salvus parenTEENg community.
You don’t need to be tech-savvy. You just need to be willing to learn alongside your teen.

If your child is online — even “just a bit” — they’re old enough for this conversation.
And if you’re not having it, the internet will.

Most parents wait because they think their child isn’t ready.
But most kids are seeing violent, explicit, or confusing content before age 11 — often through friends, chats, or TikTok.

And when it happens, their brain tries to make sense of it… with fear, shame, or silence.

💛 You don’t need perfect words. You just need to start.

In January, I’m opening a small, supportive group (max 8 parents) to help you:
✨ Know what to say (and when)
✨ Build trust without shame or fear
✨ Protect their mental health without panic
✨ Create a relationship where they come to you

📩 DM me “READY” and I’ll send you all the details.
Let’s make sure your child meets the online world prepared.

Teens crave ownership. Not control, not constant direction.
They want to feel like their voice matters, even in the small things.

Try this:
• Involve them in the weekly plan
• Sit down together on Sunday and map out the week
• No surprises → less stress → more buy-in

When teens feel part of the process, they’re far more likely to show up with responsibility and respect.
Small shifts. Big impact.

A parent said to me this week:
“It’s like I finally started to breathe in November… and now December’s already racing in.”

If that’s how it feels for you too, you’re not alone.
This time of year doesn’t need more pressure — it needs more grounding.

In this week’s newsletter, I’m sharing:
✨ A gentle recap of November’s tools
✨ A softer, more spacious focus for December
✨ An important update about the therapeutic group beginning in January
