Let's talk about sleep for a minute...
I know, I know - "get more sleep" is the advice every exhausted parent rolls their eyes at. But here's what I learned: it's not always about getting MORE sleep, it's about protecting the sleep you DO get.
One small change that makes a big difference: Put your phone in another room 30 minutes before bed.
Those late-night scroll sessions might feel like "me time," but they're stealing the quality of your sleep. Your brain needs time to wind down, and that blue light is telling it to stay alert.
Try it for one week. Use an actual alarm clock. Read a few pages of a book instead. Notice the difference.
Your well-rested self shows up differently for your family. You deserve rest that actually restores you.
What's one small change you could make to your bedtime routine?

This message from one of my first Ripple Makers completely fills my heart.
"I really appreciate your level of organization with the materials and your attention to detail. The materials are well-organized and there is cohesion and logic in the way things are presented."
This is exactly what I hoped to create - a program where future coaches feel supported, prepared, and excited to learn. When someone says they "thrive on knowing what to expect" and you've given them that clarity... that just feels good!

My Fall cohort is proving that specialized parent coach training can be both thorough AND accessible. These future coaches are going to transform so many families.

Enrollment is open now for the next cohort! Could you be the next Ripple Maker?

Week one of our fall Ripple Effect cohort is in the books, and I am so proud of this group.
This week we dove deep into how to support a parent who is feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and losing hope. These future parent coaches practiced holding space for pain without trying to fix it, learned when to listen versus when to guide, and discovered how to offer hope without dismissing the struggle.
Watching them practice these skills with each other was powerful. They're learning that sometimes the most healing thing we can offer another parent is simply: "I see you. I believe you. You're not alone in this."
The empathy and wisdom in this group is incredible. They're going to change so many families' lives.
If you've ever wondered if you could turn your parenting experience into meaningful work supporting other families, applications are open for the January 2026 cohort. Early bird pricing available through November.
These amazing people are becoming the coaches they wish they'd had when they were struggling. It's beautiful to witness.

Yesterday, I attended the Eau Claire Sextortion Awareness Event, where I held a resource table to support families in protecting their children from this devastating crime. I was lucky to have a table next to the amazing women at Fierce Freedom.

At the event, I heard heartbreaking stories from parents whose teens fell victim to sextortion and tragically took their own lives as a result. These brave families shared their experiences to help prevent other families from suffering the same heartbreak, and their courage has strengthened my commitment to helping parents protect their children.
If you’re not familiar with sextortion, it’s when someone manipulates or coerces a child into sharing explicit images, then threatens to distribute those images unless the child sends money, more images, or complies with other demands. The shame and fear these young people experience can be overwhelming—and it’s happening right here in our community.
At my table at the event I shared a handout, a parent’s guide to help you protect your children: “10 Ways to Protect Your Child from Sextortion”
This guide covers:

How to talk to your kids about online safety
Warning signs to watch for
Practical steps to take right now
What to do if your child is targeted

I’m attaching it here.

Knowledge is power, and open communication with our kids is our best defense.

Let’s work together to keep our children safe.

Me: “hey I have this random time available in my work day. Wanna run?”
Buddy: “meet you on the path!”

Thanks Joanna!

October is here, and with it comes busier schedules and more stress. Here's one simple truth that changed everything for me as a parent:
You can't pour from an empty cup.
Those 5-10 minutes you think you don't have for yourself? They're not selfish - they're essential. Your family needs you restored, not depleted.
This month I'm sharing stress management strategies that actually work for real parents with real lives. Sign up for my free newsletter (link in bio) to get practical tools delivered to your inbox each week.
What's one small thing you could do today to fill your cup, even just a little?

So fun to connect with Madeline about parenting, adoption, books and the Eau Claire community! We “re-met” at the Booked Eau Claire event and could probably talk for hours! Thanks Madeline! I loved our time together.

This is it. Final call.
Our Fall Parent and Family Coach Certification cohort starts Tomorrow!
I'm looking at the most incredible group of future coaches - each with a story, a heart for helping, and the courage to step into something bigger.
But there's room for one or two more.
If this has been tugging at your heart, if you've been waiting for a sign, if you know you're meant to help families but haven't known how...
This is your moment.
We start the weekly group zoom meetings September 30th.
Online trainings are open now.
Don't let another season pass wondering 'what if.'

A new way of providing parent support is coming soon!

24/09/2025

When your child says 'I can't do this,' try responding with 'You can't do this YET.'
That tiny word changes everything. It turns a fixed mindset into a growth mindset. It turns defeat into possibility.
'I can't ride a bike' becomes 'I can't ride a bike yet.'
'I'm not good at math' becomes 'I'm not good at math yet.'
That's the power of one small word."

And, the same is true for us parents! We are still growing and learning. We don't have to have it all figured out. Perhaps there is something, you aren't good at YET, but are working on. I'd love to hear about it.
