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.

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.​​
