Start Here—At Your Own Pace
If you’re not ready for coaching, or you want to begin learning today,
these resources will help you understand your teen—and respond differently in the moments that matter.
Parenting in the Third Stage
From Holding Hands to Holding Space
The teenage years don’t come with a manual…
until now.
This book helps you:
understand what’s actually happening in adolescence
stop reacting from fear and start responding with clarity
stay connected while still holding boundaries
This isn’t something you read once.
It’s something you come back to—again and again—as your teen grows and changes.
A steady guide for one of the hardest stages of parenting.
You want your teen to take more initiative, follow through, make thoughtful decisions, and become more responsible for their own life. But too often, the harder you push, remind, explain, or motivate, the more resistance you get.
The Art of Influence is a practical, one-hour masterclass for parents of preteens, teens, and young adults who want to encourage greater motivation, responsibility, and self-sufficiency without giving up their role as the parent.
Rooted in adolescent development and principles from Motivational Interviewing, this course will help you shift from doing all the thinking, reminding, and problem-solving to having conversations that help your child think for themselves, recognize what matters to them, and take greater ownership of their choices.
You’ll learn how to guide without taking over, listen without becoming permissive, and hold clear expectations while giving your child more room to grow.
The goal is not to get your teen to simply do what you say.
It is to help them become someone who can increasingly say:
I can figure this out.
I can make a plan.
I can take responsibility.
I can handle more on my own.
And to help you spend less time chasing, convincing, and carrying their responsibilities—and more time becoming the steady, trusted guide they can turn to as they grow.
