When a teenager shuts down, walks away, or starts “acting out,” it’s easy to assume attitude or defiance.

More often, it’s overwhelm.

New expectations.
Big emotions.
Developing brains.
Sometimes a nervous system carrying shame it doesn’t know how to name.

Disorganization isn’t laziness.
Withdrawal isn’t disrespect.
Anger toward siblings is often unprocessed hurt.

This isn’t a character problem.
It’s a regulation and support problem.

What helps:
• Connection before correction
• Structure without control
• Calm presence over consequences

• Teaching skills, not enforcing shame

One message changes everything:
“You’re not broken. Your brain is still learning—and I’m on your side.”

That belief is where growth begins.

👉 2026 is already 1 week in…

Be honest—has much really changed?
Are you still dealing with the same struggles at home and with your kids?

So many parents are taught that “consequences” mean punishment.

We’re told behavior changes when we:

Take things away

Restrict screens or tech

Hand out time-outs

Make empty threats

Force apologies

React in the moment just to survive the chaos

But here’s the truth:

None of this creates lasting behavior change.
It creates power struggles, resentment, and disconnection—on both sides.

Parenting doesn’t have to rely on punishment to be effective.
It can be intentional, connected, and sustainable.

👉 If this resonates, let’s connect or send me a message.

Happy New Year, Happy Monday —hello 2026! 🎉✨

I took the last two weeks of 2025 completely OFF to unplug, reset, and soak up quality time with my family—and it was exactly what my heart needed. 💛

This reset has me feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to jump into the new year with renewed energy.

As a mom of three, I know firsthand how tough it can be to stay consistent with new strategies—especially when life (and kids!) throw curveballs. New year’s resolutions are great… but follow-through is where the real work happens.

That’s why I partner closely with moms and dads to work through the hiccups, troubleshoot what’s not working, and learn from those in-the-moment parenting challenges—because parenting is anything but predictable.

Here’s to progress over perfection in 2026. 💪✨

Our role as parent is truly unique as we get to inspire and motivate our children unlike anyone else.

How we show up teaches them how to show up!

Our children want to be with us, spend time with us, feel validated and appreciated by us. As our kids observe what we say AND what we do, may we take power in our own power.

Let us pause and reflect on the power of language, body language, facial expressions, and tone.

We are their guides and let’s equip them with the tools to navigate their experiences more positively.

Enjoy the upcoming weekend!

Mom says, “Don’t yell at me! I’m the only one allowed to yell!”

Hmmm, might this be another way of asking our kids to do as we say and not always as we do?

⬇️
I ask you, what are we asking and requiring of our children that we ourselves are not disciplined enough to follow through with?

⬇️
Is it screen time?
How good are we at putting our devices to the side at mealtimes, athletic practices, pick up, car time or other family moments?​

⬇️
Is it spending time outside?
How good are we at enjoying the great outdoors and being mobile/active?

⬇️
Is it tidying up?
Again, how good are we at up-keeping our own space? Perhaps we’re picking up for everybody else, but what does our room/ desk/ closet/ bathroom look like?

⬇️
Is it to be on time?
Lastly, how good are we at managing our personal time, planning ahead, preparing in advance or building time in for the unexpected?

🤔🤔🤔
Remember — our children model our behavior.
What we do, they’ll do.

👀
This week I encourage you to be self observant and take notice of how you’re leading the charge!

How is what we’re doing manifesting itself in our children?

It has become increasingly more difficult to stay mindful and grounded to the here and now with all the pulls, distractions, latest technologies and other “helpful” modern day advances.

The irony in all of this is that despite our worldly advances, our families, our bodies and even our cells still have the same primary needs to be met in order to function and flourish.

In fact, the “Need to Connect” is so hardwired into our DNA.🧬

It’s probably one of the most pivotal and vital forces that influences us.

✨Healthy family relationships require love, connection, communication, compassion, validation and appreciation to equally function and flourish in the ways that our bodies and cells do.

Our relationships mirror the needs of our bodies.
So when you think about the conditions that make your body healthy, ask …
🌟“What are the parallel conditions that make me and my family healthy?”

So great to be one of ‘s many providers.

Parents I work with often never heard of parent coaching before or knew something like this was available to them.

A game changing powerful option for members to receive company sponsored coaching and/or therapy.

ESPECIALLY in parenting, it is always OK 👍😉 to ask for help.

🗣Your kids, schools, teachers and community talking about Social Emotional Learning (SEL)?

🙋🏽Feel like you could use your own SEL at home and in your parenting?

Resorting to the same discipline tactics of punishments, time-outs, negotiations or bribes with little success doesn’t make you a “bad parent”.
🤷🏽‍♀️You may just not know what and how to do things differently for you and your kids.

✨The emphasizes learning the LIFE SKILLS + LESSONS you ACTUALLY want your kids to be learning and using:
✔️Responsibility
✔️Ownership
✔️Trust
✔️Respect
✔️Listening
✔️Motivation
✔️Flexibility
✔️Patience
✔️Boundaries/Expectations
(… and so much more)

Over the last 9 years I’ve been an education consultant for the program.

This year there are more than 80 mentors and liaisons from 15 campuses across the country participating in personal and professional development to achieve collegiate academic excellence through peer mentorship.

On a monthly basis, I deliver trainings with CREAR mentors and liaisons to support the persistence and retention of CREAR mentees as part of the ongoing dynamic commitment to student success - closing the gap in Latino college enrollment, retention, and graduation rates.
