Afraid of all the teen drama you've heard about?

They are moody

It's hard not to take it personally when it feels like you're trying to hug a cactus.

They are selfish

You'd be rich if you had a dollar for every time you thought "It's not all about you"

They are messy

They are busy and leave wrappers on the floors & in couch cushions.

They make stupid choices

And the consequences are far scarier than anything you faced at their age

What if I told you it doesn't have to be drama filled?

Parenting teens can be fun and full of joy!

They are fun

Teens notice clever ironies. They love to laugh and have an enthusiasm and zest for life that is contagious

Evolving opinions and ideas can facilitate fun & deep conversations, which leads to greater connection

They are creative

Creativity fuels optimism and hope that isn't jaded and creates a unique type of resourcefulness

They are resilient

Sure, teens take risks, but they also bounce back - especially when supported by loving parents

Parenting Teens Can Be Rewarding

Hi! I'm Kristen

Teens have a bad rap.  But the truth is, parenting teens can be full of joy and connection. 

As parents we must recognize the challenges they face; hold ourselves accountable and be intentional about connection.

I want to help!

Almost there!

Complete this step to confirm your attendance

I’m thrilled to invite you to Trusted Academy LIVE—
—a transformative two-day workshop designed to help you rebuild trust, enhance communication, and lead your teen with confidence.

Day 1: SEE Differently

​You’ll uncover hidden connection crushers and learn to spot key moments when your teen needs you most, ensuring you seize vital opportunities to connect—so you can be the mom they turn to, not pull away from.

Day 2: DO Differently

​​You’ll ​master having tough conversations without power struggles, repairing mistakes while maintaining respect, and shift from reactive parenting to confident leadership.—so your teen listens and actually wants to talk to you.
This LIVE Pareting Lab is hands-on. You’ll receive coaching, apply lessons in real-time, and leave with actionable strategies.
No fluff—just practical results.

Here is how to LOCK IN Your Spot:

I’m serious about getting real results for every mom who attends AND we refuse to charge for this event. Instead, we ask all potential attendees to schedule a quick, 10-minute confirmation call with Kristen.

This conversation allows her to understand your unique challenges and aspirations, ensuring the workshop content is tailored for you. It also confirms your commitment to attending and engaging fully in both days of the event. THIS IS NOT A SALES CALL; it’s my way of tailoring the experience to you. Upon confirming your call, I’ll provide the workshop access link.​​

You’re Closer Than You Think to the Relationship You Want With Your Teen

Right now, it might feel like your teen is shutting you out—but the next video will show you how to turn that around. Enter your info below to get immediate access to the video where you’ll learn the exact steps you can take to start repairing and rebuilding your relationship today.
(I’ll also email you a summary of the video you just watched 😉 – I’ve got you!)
