It's a CHALLENGING Journey

Have you ever done anything more challenging than the journey you are on right now? 

Most moms and dads I work with would answer a very strong No -Never! to that question. This is a very difficult job and healing can be a VERY long process. Many times these kinds of mental, physical, and emotional challenges can begin to take a toll on every part of your life. Your marriage. Your self esteem. Your health. Your other relationships. You can end up feeling and literally being SO alone!

It's understandable that you don't take a class or want to get involved in a support group - the reality of everything that is entailed in helping your child heal can be difficult and alienating.   

I have so lived it. Honestly, I couldn't believe some of those thoughts, words, and choices actually came out of me. I mean I didn't even know that "stuff" was inside of me. And to tell you the truth...I really didn't want anyone to know how much I questioned myself! I was going to figure it out on my own! 

The truth is there wasn't really an option. There were no support groups and no one talked about the difficult side of trying to parent hurt kids (I suppose they were just like me). I found myself becoming more and more stressed and unhappy. We were not heading in the direction I wanted my family to go. Doing this alone was just not working! 

As I opened up about my reality, others did too. I brought them all together and the power of us walking this path as a group was amazing! I found new strength. New direction. I started seeing things more clearly and began to parent so much more intentionally than I ever thought possible.  

It was also then that I committed to making sure no other family had to do this alone. The truth is...doing this alone is a mistake! 

I can't say it loud enough or strong enough...surrounding yourself with people that get it and those that get it AND are on the other side is the ticket to your success. That kind of energy helps to keep you in it for as long as it takes. That kind of experience arms you with strategies that have been tested and tweaked. That kind of mindset holds you up when you are tired. That kind of heart that doesn't ever judge!    

I want to personally help you and your family get there too. I have brought together all the pieces so that your family doesn't have to do it alone. You have a choice to be a part of a group of parents who are heading the same direction you are! 

You are NOT alone...make the choice to move towards healing and change. Please don't settle. It is a difficult job, but there's another direction you can take. But trying to take it along will trip you up. Become an Intentional Parent - and the fastest way there is by surrounding yourself with others that get it! 

More energy, new strategies that are already tried and tested, people that get it, an action plan that works, new belief in yourself, and a new vision of life and your child's healing! It's ultimately up to you...I know for sure that doing this job alone will get you none of the goodness you are looking for. 

Don't waste another moment - YOU are your child's best chance of healing - I want to help you make breakthroughs happen! My Intentional Parent Coaching Group has EVERYTHING you need to be successful! 

Come and join my Intentional Parent Coaching Group TODAY! And we'll get you going...
