Help Your Teen Thrive & Succeed in a Complex, Stressful World
Relief Is Possible, Even in Conflict. You Can Lead with Emotional Safety, Even in the Hardest Moments with Your Teen.
What TRUSTED Academy Students are Saying:
You’ve Started the brave work of
seeing what’s really going on.
You’ve already realized something important:
Your reactions don’t just create tension, they feel like they’re eroding your connection.
And that fear can be heavier than the conflict itself.
You know now, it’s not that your teen is defiant or broken.
They’re under construction. Their brain’s in survival mode, and the silence or sass runs deeper than it seems.
And still… it’s hard.
You try to stay calm, to be the lighthouse, but some days, the storm still wins.
That sweet toddler, the open-hearted 10-year-old… they feel so far away.
But you know this isn’t where the story ends.
The Lab showed you what’s possible.
Now it’s time to move from insight to action, with a path that helps you practice what you’ve started.
You can go from ...
to actually showing up that way, even on the stormiest days.

In the lessons I have seen the little details of what and how I am saying things affect my teens . Most importantly I am learning how to improve my communication using specific phrases and mindsets. I realize that there is still much room for improvement in my way of relating to my teens, which actually makes me even happier that I am here! -in this safe place of learning.
I feel cheered on, motivated and empowered by Kristen´s teachings to become the better parent inside me. All the learning is more doable through the one on one chats with Kristen that we have access to since different questions come up any time of the week.
Why the TRUSTED Academy Will Work
When Nothing Else Has
You’ve poured your heart into trying, books, courses, late-night Googling, but nothing has created the lasting change you crave.
This isn’t more information. It’s the support, structure, and steady practice that finally makes it stick.
- We start with YOU, not your teen. Because your transformation shifts the whole relationship.
- We move in phases, so it’s not a firehose, it’s a rhythm.
- You won’t just learn, you’ll practice, get feedback, and adjust in real time.
- You’re not alone. You’ll grow with a community of moms walking the same path.
- You’ll have coaching, tools, scripts, and support for when things get messy (because they will).
- You’ll be coached alongside other moms, which means you’ll not only learn from your own questions, but from theirs too. You’ll realize you’re not the only one, and that alone changes everything.
- You’ll have direct access to me, Kristen, through a private app, so you’re never stuck waiting for the next call. This isn’t just a course. It’s real support, in real life, when you need it most.
Where You’ll Be After 90 Days of Trust-Building
You’ve started the shift. You’re thinking differently. Seeing your teen through the iceberg. Catching your caveman brain.
But insight without action won’t change your home.
When you join the TRUSTED Academy, you’ll start to live differently because you will be immersed in the TRUSTED language,
with support that holds you, friends who walk beside you, and guidance that keeps you steady.
Inside the Academy, you won’t just learn.
You’ll be encouraged, challenged, and deeply seen.
You’ll grow in a circle of moms who get it—and get you.
Imagine...
You’re standing in your kitchen after a long day.
Your teen walks in: moody, quiet, maybe even a little tense.
But instead of bracing for conflict, you breathe.
You stay grounded.
You speak calmly. You ask a curious question.
And… they don’t walk away.
They answer. You listen. The conversation builds, bit by bit.
Soon, you’re swapping stories, tossing ideas back and forth.
And then…
Laughter. Ease. Connection. Honesty. Collaboration.
And you know, you’re not guessing anymore.
You’re growing together.
That’s what you’ll walk away with.
- You instinctively calm yourself before correcting your teen, so tense moments don’t spiral, and you stay steady even when they don’t.
- You are steady, not shaken, when your teen is struggling, you aren't pulled into their storm. You ARE the lighthouse.
- You lead with influence, not control, your teen actually hears you, even when the topic is hard. Your words land, not lecture.
You feel proud of the relationship you’re building—even on the hard days—because you’ll know you’re parenting with intention, not just reacting out of fear or frustration.
With tools to turn to at any moment, you are experiencing real connection again, the kind that shows up in shared jokes, car ride confessions, and unguarded laughter around the dinner table.
The Proven TRUSTED Academy Framework
Built on 3 research-backed pillars that strengthen families, reduce conflict, and build lasting trust.
Each Pillar Has 3 Milestones.
1. Confidence
You’ve started to shift from reliant to resilient.
You know your teen’s behavior doesn’t define you, and that your calm is your power.
But knowing and living that in real life?
That takes tools, practice, and support.
In this pillar, you’ll go beyond insight and actually build confidence, moment by messy moment.
1. Claim Your Power
You’re not too emotional, too reactive, or too late.
You’re learning. You’re growing. And you’re ready to lead from a place of grounded strength. It starts by owning your story, and refusing to stay stuck in it.
2. Let Go To Lead
3. Respond with Strength
You’ve felt the pull of your caveman brain.
Now, you’ll train your nervous system to pause, breathe, and choose your response, even when the moment feels heated. That’s where trust is built.
Why This Works:
You can’t lead with calm until you believe you’re capable of change.
That’s why we start by helping you Claim Your Power, shifting from shame to ownership.
Only then can you Let Go to Lead, releasing control and stepping into steady influence.
And once you have both clarity and intention, you’re ready to Respond with Strength, with tools that help you show up consistently, even in the chaos.
Confidence isn’t just a mindset, it’s a sequence. And this one works.
Why it Matters:
You stop second-guessing yourself and start showing up with calm, grounded strength. You’re less reactive, more intentional, and your teen notices. The tension starts to fade, not because they’ve changed, but because you have. You lead with clarity, not fear. And with every steady response, your confidence grows, and so does their trust in you.
2. Conversation
You know there’s more beneath the eye rolls and shutdowns, and that curiosity builds connection.
But in the heat of the moment, staying grounded isn’t easy.
This pillar helps you turn insight into instinct, so you can move through hard conversations with calm, not fear.
1. Get Curious, Not Furious
You’ve seen how curiosity creates connection.
Now, you’ll learn how to use it in real time, so your first reaction doesn’t burn the bridge you’re trying to build.
2. Create a safe space
Words only work when your teen feels safe.
You’ll learn how to listen without fixing, validate without agreeing, and respond without pressure, so conversations feel like invitations, not interrogations.
3. Speak With Influence
Influence is more powerful than control, and it starts with how you speak. You’ll learn to use words that lower defenses, invite collaboration, and inspire change, without forcing it.
Why This Works:
With inner steadiness in place, the next step is learning to communicate from that calm. “Get Curious, Not Furious” rewires your first reaction to invite connection, not conflict. “Create a Safe Space” builds trust, so your teen feels safe opening up. And “Speak with Influence” helps you replace control with relational authority, guiding with words that lead, not pressure.
Why It Matters:
Your teen starts lingering a little longer, sharing a little more. There’s less tension, fewer shutdowns, and more moments where you feel like you’re finally on the same team. These conversations don’t just solve problems, they rebuild trust. And with every calm, respectful exchange, your relationship grows stronger.
3. Connection
You know your teen’s behavior is just the tip of the iceberg, and that trust grows through safety and repair.
But real connection isn’t built in big moments. It’s built in the steady, everyday presence.
This pillar helps you move from knowing connection matters… to living it in ways that last.
1. Interrupt Isolation
When things feel strained, both of you retreat.
This milestone helps you gently re-enter shared space, without pressure or pushing, so your teen feels invited, not chased.
2. Connection through Collaboration
You want your teen to feel heard, but power struggles get in the way.
You’ll learn how to shift from “I said so” to “Let’s solve this together,” building trust through shared ownership.
3. Repair and Rebuild
Every parent makes mistakes. Not every parent knows what to do next.
This step gives you a simple, powerful way to repair after conflict, so your teen learns that trust doesn’t have to break when things go wrong
Why This Works:
You can’t build connection until your teen feels safe. That’s why we start by interrupting isolation, gently restoring shared space.
Next, collaboration shifts the dynamic from top-down to side-by-side.
Finally, repair gives you the tool that keeps trust alive, even after hard moments.
This order mirrors real relationships: safety → partnership → repair..
Why It Matters:
This kind of connection doesn’t just shape your relationship now, it shapes your influence for life. Your teen starts turning to you with questions, decisions, and dreams. You’re not just rebuilding trust, you’re modeling a relationship they’ll want to pass on. This is how generational cycles shift. The safety you create now becomes the legacy you leave behind.

The TRUSTED Academy is delivered in 3 Phases
I'm not here to overload you, I'm here to walk with you. You’ll get exactly what you need, when you’re ready. As you grow, so will your access to tools and support.
First 7 Days
Onboarding
You’ve started shifting, now it’s time to anchor those insights. Within a few days of joining the Trusted Academy, you’ll meet right away become familiar with what comes next.
You’ll also get access to the private app for 1:1 with Kristen, group crowdsourcing, and questions and connection between sessions.
First 30 Days
The Intensive
For 3 weeks in a row on Wednesdays, we’ll meet LIVE to explore the 3 pillars and practice what you learned in the Lab. You’ll get tools, real-time support, and grow alongside other moms who started this journey with you in the same co-hort.
90 Days
The Integration
This is where knowledge becomes habit.
Each week, you’ll focus on a short blindspot training to help you apply what you’ve learned. You’ll join weekly Q&As for feedback on that Blindspot and connect with an emotion coach monthly, so you’re supported emotionally and practically.
Using the L.I.F.T. Cycle, you’ll Learn something new, Implement it, get Feedback, and Transform your approach.
Where Online Courses Stop…
The TRUSTED Academy Goes Further
Most online courses give you pre-recorded videos and leave you to figure it out on your own. But the L.I.F.T. Cycle is different, because of the Feedback step. Without real feedback, you could be practicing the wrong thing and wiring new, but unhelpful habits into your brain without even realizing it.
That’s not just frustrating, it’s a waste of time and brainpower.
Growth like this requires more than information. It requires coaching, course correction, and real support. That’s why I give you multiple chances to ask questions, get personal feedback, and work with me face-to-face (virtually) throughout the program.
That’s what makes this is an ACADEMY, not a just a course.
What Moms Like You Have to Say:
An expert In Your Pocket
You don’t need to figure this out alone, and you don’t have to wait until the next group call to get help. Inside TRUSTED Academy, you’ll have direct access to me through our private messaging app. You can send a voice memo or quick text anytime you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to handle something with your teen, and I’ll personally help you work through it.
Whether you’re navigating a heated moment, a silent shutdown, or a tricky conversation, you’ve got me in your corner.
And this isn’t random advice, it’s grounded in real expertise. I’m a mom of four with a degree in Child & Human Development from BYU, and I’ve spent nearly a decade coaching ambitious, high-capacity moms through the messy middle of parenting teens. I’ve studied the research, tested the tools, and built a proven system that actually sticks. I’ve been featured on Fox21, Studio 5, and as a guest on countless podcasts and parenting summits, and now, I’m here to support you.
In addition to your direct access to me, you’ll also join two hours of weekly live group coaching and connect with other moms inside the app who truly get it. But having a trusted expert in your pocket? That’s what helps you stay steady, supported, and strong, every single day.

Smart Questions. Straight Answers.
I've heard of online courses, what is an online Academy?
Unlike a typical course where you watch videos in order and try to figure it out alone, TRUSTED Academy is a full learning + coaching experience designed for real transformation. You’ll get structured guidance, live support, feedback on your efforts, and a powerful community of moms walking the same path.
It’s more like a university than a one-size-fits-all course. In your first 3 months, you’ll get your “generals”—the foundational tools every mom needs to lead with confidence and connection. After that, you get to choose your own path. You decide which “classes” to take, when to take them, and how much support to seek out—just like office hours with a professor, support is always available when you need it.
The Vault isn’t a linear course—it’s a searchable, filterable database filled with everything I’ve created for moms of teens. You can search by pillar, topic, or format to find exactly what you need for the challenge you’re facing right now.
And everything is built around the L.I.F.T. Cycle—a proven process that helps you Learn, Implement, get Feedback, and Transform. You’re never left guessing. You’ll also have direct access to me through our private messaging app, so you can ask questions and get support between calls.
This isn’t just about learning—it’s about growth that sticks.
I really want to do this, but I'm not sure how to explain it all to my spouse.
Totally fair, it’s a lot to try and explain since this isn’t just a parenting course. It’s leadership training for moms who want to parent with strength, clarity, and emotional maturity. You can tell them this isn’t about blaming anyone, it’s about helping you show up differently, which has a ripple effect on your teen, your home, and your relationship.
Let them watch just a few minutes of your favorite part from the Lab replay. Hearing it in real time can make all the difference, and might even help them feel seen too. You can also have them watch THIS VIDEO I created just for them.
Spouse wondering about the investment? This isn’t a splurge, it’s a strategic investment in your family’s future and emotional legacy. Just like you likely have some type of education that helps you provide for your family, a stronger mom means a stronger home. This program reduces long-term conflict, creates generational impact, and gives you tools that benefit the whole family.
Spouse worried about being painted as the “bad guy”? This program isn’t about blame, it’s about learning to see things differently so we can do things differently. Many partners have actually felt more seen because their spouse learns to lead with empathy and respect. Your wife will likely see you in a new light too, as someone with good intentions who’s doing their best. Everyone wins when one parent grows stronger.
Spouse not sure if it will actually help? You don’t need blind faith, you need a proven process. This is a research-backed framework built through real-life experience and lasting results from other moms of teens. It’s not one-size-fits-all. Your wife will tailor the tools to your family, and start seeing changes fast. And if something doesn’t land, she’s not on her own. I offer personalized support along the way.
Spouse wants to be involved? Great. Yes, you’re welcome to join! Watch calls, ask questions, and apply the tools together if you’d like.
Spouse thinks the method sounds too soft? This isn’t about lowering expectations. It’s about setting them with your teen, not at them. There’s structure here, but it’s smart structure. The kind that builds long-term respect and emotional maturity, not just short-term compliance.
I've got plenty to do after just the LAB, do I really need a whole Academy?
Yes, especially if you’ve been through the LAB. Every single mom in the Academy has been through the LAB. And here’s the truth: the LAB is powerful, and it’s a lot. You leave inspired, hopeful, and sometimes overwhelmed. You may find yourself loving what you learned but feeling discouraged or even frustrated when it doesn’t come together as easily in real life. That’s normal.
The Academy is what turns that inspiration into actual transformation. Because knowing isn’t the same as applying, and without feedback, you might be wiring in the wrong patterns without even realizing it. That’s why we use the L.I.F.T. Cycle, a system that gives you real-time feedback on real situations in your home. Yes, you’ll learn more in the Academy, but the real magic is in the support, guidance, and course correction that helps you stay steady, consistent, and connected where it matters most.
How is this different from therapy, podcasts, or parenting books?
Those give you insight. This gives you transformation. TRUSTED Academy is built on a proven framework, real feedback, and live support to help you apply what you’re learning, so you’re not just inspired, you’re actually seeing change.
What if I’ve already tried things like this and it didn’t work?
That’s exactly why this is different. You won’t just consume content, you’ll get coaching, feedback, and a clear structure to follow. You’re not in this alone, and you won’t get stuck spinning your wheels.
How much time will this take?
Plan for about 1–2 hours per week. This isn’t about adding more to your plate, it’s about replacing what’s not working with what actually moves the needle.
Many moms say they spend less time reacting, second-guessing, or lying awake at night, and more time feeling connected and in control. When you stop wasting time in power struggles or emotional spirals, you actually gain time. A few months from now, you’ll look back and realize this gave you far more than it asked of you.
What if I can’t make every call live?
No problem. All calls are recorded and stored in your private Vault so you can watch when it works for you. That said, live participation allows for real-time coaching and deeper growth, so we encourage you to attend when possible.
What if my teen is the real problem?
You’re not alone in feeling that way, but here’s the truth: you can’t control your teen. (And trying to will only wear you out.) What you can control is how you show up, and that’s where your real power lies.
In the TRUSTED Academy, we stop measuring success by our teen’s behavior and start measuring it by our own. You’ll learn how to lead with calm, confidence, and consistency, not through control, but through influence. And influence is what actually creates change that lasts.
Can my partner join or access the material too?
Yes! You’re welcome to share your login with your spouse or co-parent. Going through the experience together often makes the tools even more effective. But even if they’re not ready to participate, don’t worry, when one person in a family starts to shift, others usually follow. Real change starts with one steady leader.
