Moody. Rude. Sullen. Glaring.
Our growing children are unpredictable, obstinate, exhausting, sometimes terrifying.
Parenting teens is fraught with sleepless nights and stressed-to-the-bone days. We are hanging on by the thinnest thread while it seems like all the other moms we see are buzzing with joy and doing all the right things, all the right ways.
When my own children were young, I was often privately seething with rage and hopelessness. So much of my energy went into chasing perfection for my kids: a life that is always fun, bursting with opportunities, and devoid of obstacles. Chasing the impossible left me feeling resentful and burned out. It felt so unfair to sacrifice so much and get so little recognition, respect, or JOY in return. This was not what I imagined life would be like as a mom!
Learning HOW to be the best mom possible became my life’s work and continues to be my greatest accomplishment. Today I am a confident, calm, connected mom to the 3 greatest humans I have ever known.
Now I am passionate about helping other moms realize that they too can move past the blame game, erase the messy power struggles, and say goodbye to slamming doors!
The MomProp originates from a place of deep empathy for moms who desire less drama and more connections. The foundation of my coaching is creating safe, nurturing spaces for moms to (re)discover the confidence they need to parent their teens with grace and ease. For over 20 years I have been a trusted mentor, retreat leader, group facilitator and Certified Spiritual Director. My background in Psychology and Women’s Studies allows me to understand the history and dynamics of parenting and teens within our modern culture.
