The Ultimate Virtual Event for Moms
When Your Teen Pulls Away:
The Shift that
Brings them back

Join me for free.

The TRUSTED Lab is a completely free 3-hour live experience to help you finally stop second-guessing yourself and start seeing yourself and your teen differently so trust grows, drama fades, and connection thrives.

Our next event is Monday, April 6, 2026; 12-3 pm Eastern Time.

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.​​
