About Kristen
I believe parenting teens
should be joyful
You're here because you want a stronger relationship with your teenager, and I'm here to help! You CAN have more hope & less fear in parenting.
I know why parenting teens feels heavy
Communication
You used to be able to chat so easily with your teen when they were younger. Everything has changed and you don't know how to talk to them anymore, and they certainly don't want to talk to you!
Emotions
You try so hard, they can be moody, you get your feelings hurt, they seem ungrateful, you call them out on it, and it's a vicious cycle.
Technology
You aren't sure how to parent with the ever changing technology pressures. What to do about it???

I understand because motherhood
used to feel heavy to me
I've been where you are
I grew up as a teenager with a disconnect with my mom, and I could never put a finger on WHY. I did so much research, because I didn’t want the same fate for my own teenagers and myself.
My Discovery
In this discovery process, I realized that I can do all the FUN things, but if they are put off by my blind spots (that I don’t know about) it’s a problem. I’ve deconstructed what I THOUGHT I was supposed to DO and BE for my teens, and discovered the secret, that I’m happy to share with you.
Thriving relationship
I feel SO grateful for the strong bond I have with each of my teens (and adult kids!) and it’s because I chose to do the work on me. Because I’ve learned I can’t control my teen, I can only control MYSELF.
