Yelling, taking away the phone, grounding… how’s that working for you?

If it’s not, comment “SCREEN TIME” for the link to join Screen Time Harmony month inside my Facebook group.

I promise you’ll walk away with parenting tools for 2025, not 1995. 🤯

Oops! Your kids are watching… and potentially copying your screen habits.

But don’t panic! There’s a smarter way to tackle screen time without the cold turkey meltdowns.

I’ve been there. With my kids (ages 11 and 15), eliminating screens completely just isn’t realistic.

What I wanted, and what I’m guessing you want too…. is more BALANCE. Less nagging. Fewer arguments. More peace.

That’s why I’m hosting Screen Time Harmony Month in my Facebook group!

This November, we’re diving into:
✨ How to plan screen exits BEFORE the dopamine crash hits
✨ Real scripts for those “just 5 more minutes!” battles
✨ Why your own phone habits might be sabotaging everything
✨ Creating boundaries that actually stick (without being the villain)

No shame. No perfection. Just practical strategies that work for real families.

Join us for Screen Time Harmony Month and get daily tips, community support, and actionable tools to transform your family’s relationship with screens.

Your sanity is worth it. Let’s do this together!

Why I’m Helping Parents with Screen Time

There’s so much noise out there about kids and screens.

One expert says “no devices before 13.”
Another says “teach digital responsibility early.”
Then there’s that influencer whose kid “doesn’t even want an iPad.”

Meanwhile, most of us are just trying to get through dinner without an argument, or a meltdown when it’s time to turn the tablet off.

I get it as a therapist and a mom. In fact, I’m in the thick of it now. My soon-to-be 12 year old asks every day when she’s getting her first phone.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
It’s not just about screen time.
It’s about how we talk about it, how we handle the pushback, and how we keep connection strong when technology seems to take over everything.

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all rulebook. But there are ways to approach these tough conversations that help your child feel heard — and still keep your boundaries intact.

That’s what I’m here to help you with. 💙

All month long, inside my free Facebook group, I’m sharing real, practical tools for parents who are ready to find balance — without guilt, yelling, or power struggles.

👉 Join me for Screen Time Harmony Month — we’re getting honest, supportive, and calm about screen time again.

Some haunted houses don’t have ghosts.
Sometimes, they have patterns — echoes of the way we were raised… the yelling we swore we’d never repeat… the guilt that creeps in after we lose our cool.

This then leads to present day problems like yelling, nagging, guilt, repeat.

But here’s the thing:
You don’t have to “heal” alone.

I’m not your average parenting coach.
I understand how our kids’ brains actually work — the neurobiology behind behavior — and how to translate that into real connection, mutual respect, and lasting cooperation.

Because the ghosts of our past don’t have to dictate how we parent today.
They can be our power — the awareness that lets us break cycles, rebuild safety, and write a new story for our family.

I’ve lived it.
I’ve studied it.
And I’m here to help you.

Whether you start with my videos, coaching, or my book — there’s a way to begin building your own House of Harmony. 🕯️

It’s Halloween, and you’re torn between letting them go wild… and wanting to hide the candy.

Most moms have felt caught in that tug-of-war at some point — wanting to be supportive without being strict, to keep things balanced without turning candy into a battle.

At the end of the day, it’s about trust.
When we model connection, curiosity, and tuning in, our kids learn to do the same.

💬 Instead of: “That’s too much candy. You’ve had enough!”
Try encouraging your kids to notice how the sugar is making them feel:
✨ “Is your stomach talking to you?”
✨ “Does your head feel a little funny?”
✨ “Maybe your body’s telling you it’s thirsty?”

If your child isn’t quite ready to tune into their cues (totally understandable — it’s an exciting day!), you can gently guide them toward balance:

“Let’s pick your top five favorite pieces and save the rest for later. Where should we keep the extras?”

This helps your child stay in control of their choices — which means fewer meltdowns, more confidence, and deeper connection.

And that’s the kind of sweetness that lasts long after Halloween night. 🧡

Save this for later & tag a mom friend who needs to hear she’s doing great — candy wrappers and all.

Quick question — do you ever set a boundary and then struggle to stick with it? 🙋‍♀️

As a therapist and parent educator, I see moms struggle to follow through on limits without feeling guilt & frustration, or without constant reminders. That is why I am opening up my Facebook group this Friday 10/24 @ 2pm to host a free class on how to set limits without power struggles.

If you’ve ever said “this time I mean it” and then felt defeated a few hours later… this one’s for you. 💛

Message me and I’ll share the link with you :)

We are in it with you. Between drop-offs, work, and endless to-do’s, calm can feel impossible. But your calm isn’t about perfection — it’s about regulation.

Gut punch thought of the day:

Healing from your past isn’t separate from raising your future. It’s the SAME work.

If you’re exhausted, frustrated, and confused about why nothing seems to work with your kids - even when you’re trying - here’s the truth: You might be using the same playbook your parents used on you. And if that playbook left you with stuff to unpack in therapy? It’s probably not going to work miracles on your kids either.

You’re not just raising kids. You’re breaking generational patterns while simultaneously trying to heal your own childhood.

That’s why it’s so hard. That’s why the old methods don’t work. That’s why you need modern tools for a job this complex.

Drop a 💙 if you’re doing both - healing yourself AND raising them differently.

Did your parent ever say:
“Don’t talk back.”
“Because I said so.”
“You’re being fresh.”

If those words still echo in your head, you’re not alone.
What worked for our parents isn’t working for our kids — or our nervous systems.

It’s time to update your parenting tools.

✨I teach parents how to understand their own emotional triggers and their child’s brain, build a new language for connection and boundaries, and repair the emotional safety you never received but deeply want to give.
