Struggling to set limits and handle your kids BIG emotions?
If setting effective limits, unravelling your subconscious beliefs, and handling your child’s wide range of emotions sounds well and good, but you have no clue what that actually looks like in the day to day, you’re not alone.
I hear from so many parents who know how they’d like to parent, but struggle to remain consistent in those moments where emotions are running high — like those times when it feels like everyone is either screaming, crying, or attached to your leg..
BUT WHAT IF YOU COULD STAY CALM AND HANDLE ANY MELTDOWN WITH CONFIDENCE?
Does this scene seem a little too familiar?
You’re wandering through a toy store with your daughter and, as a treat, you’ve told her she can get a toy. But almost predictably, she wants two.
You find yourself reasoning with her and trying to do anything to keep her from crying while still holding your ground. But the tears come and you can feel the eyes of everyone in the store staring, waiting to see what will happen next.
Maybe, in an effort to maintain everyone’s composure, you eventually cave and just buy the two toys. “Is it really worth the meltdown?” you think.
Or maybe, in your frustration, you snap at her for causing a scene and leave the store empty-handed, pulling her out by the hand behind you, away from those staring eyes.
Neither of these scenarios leave you or your daughter feeling good….
But what if there were a third option?
One that firmly reinforced your limit while acknowledging how hard this must feel for your daughter.
One that allowed her to feel these feelings — the disappointment, the anger, the frustration: the normal feelings she’ll need to learn how to handle — while you supported her through it safely?
And what if, throughout the whole situation, you were confidently able to access the tools you needed to stay regulated so you could hold your limit and manage the situation in a way you were proud of?
If you’ve always imagined you’d be the parent who could:
…then you’re right where you’re meant to be.
✓ Remain calm and cool during any meltdown
✓ Make your children feel safe when they make a mistake
✓ Set confident limits that you’re able to follow through with grace and maturity

Introducing My Best-Selling Course…

“I particularly love the exercises you shared.”
I really enjoyed how you walk us through the internal process we all need to go through as parents: from re-framing the way we see our children’s behavior, to importance of limits, and the work we need to do to respond to our children with kindness.

The Lessons
what you'll learn inside this course
Introduction: What is Respectful/Mindful Parenting?
In this module, I welcome you to the course and define what exactly respectful parenting is. I share a personal story about a time I completely lost it, and what you can do when you lose it — because it happens to us all!
MODULE 1
The What And The Why
As parents, we’re all familiar with punishments, rewards, negotiating, and trying to “fix” our children’s behaviour. But in this module, I teach you about a specific kind of limit setting — empathic limits.
We’ll go over what they are, what they are not, and what really drives challenging behaviour.
MODULE 2
What Is Our End Goal Here?
The key to changing how we parent our children is understanding what we actually wish for them. Here, you’ll get a better understanding of what your job as a parent really is at the end of the day.
MODULE 3
Welcoming The Waves Of Emotions
So often, our initial reaction to our children’s tantrums is to stop or avoid them all together. But in this module, I demonstrate how important these emotional meltdowns are to their emotional development and how you can ride these waves instead of fighting them.
And I really want you to see this in action, so I share a video of my 2.5 year old having a real meltdown where you can see exactly how I handle it.
MODULE 4
HOW To Set Empathic Limits
This is the module where we get practical! You'll learn how to actually set those effective empathic limits, step-by-step. You get plenty of examples on exactly how to implement these strategies in the messy moments of your daily life. What are the key pitfalls to avoid and perspectives to hold on to that'll keep you on track.
It's everything you need to successfully put this transformative way of limit setting into practice.
MODULE 5
WHAT Limits To Set
Learning HOW to set empathic limits is important, but you also have to be able to get very clear on WHAT limits to set:
When do we say no? What behaviours are ok? What are the absolute hard no’s, and what do we do when we’re not quite sure WHAT we should be doing?
Here, we go over what I call the 'Three Non-Negotiables' and how to identify what boundaries should be set consistently and which ones are circumstantial. We’ll also talk about the importance of setting personal boundaries that will support you on this journey — and the ones that allow you to enjoy your coffee while it’s still warm!
MODULE 6
It All Starts And Ends With Us
When it comes to parenting, our own past experiences, inner mindset and core beliefs dictate how we show up to our kids.
Learn how to do the self-work so you can understand your thinking and reframe your perspective, making respectful parenting a natural way of parenting in your household.

INSPIRED BY A WORKSHOP I’VE DELIVERED OVER 250 TIMES
The content from this course was pulled from the most popular talk I’ve given worldwide countless times. But now you have access to it right at home.
At the time, I didn’t know I was eventually going to create an online course. But as I gave this talk, I loved being up on stage seeing how parents received the messages I was sharing. I began to take note of the parts that appeared to have the most impact — the moments that had parents nodding along enthusiastically, the reflections that stirred emotions, and the stories that had everyone laughing because they’ve seen those same exact scenarios played out at home.
I took all of those moments and stories and poured them into this course so you too can learn the powerful impact of respectful parenting.
Common misconception about Respectful Parenting? You actually CAN say “no” to your kids.
Respectful parenting is not permissive parenting.
I teach you how to set confident boundaries that don’t crush your children’s spirit. And that often means many, many “no’s.” The difference is that we do this respectfully with understanding and compassion. Which, contrary to popular belief, is the very thing that makes our children more willing to accept our limits and follow our rules.
And that also means that you don’t have to always be that happy, cheery mom, pushing down your feelings of frustration to try and keep the peace. .
No. This approach encourages you to show up authentically, express your emotions in a healthy way, and set personal boundaries to ensure your own needs are met. Basically all of the tools you want your children to bring into adulthood.
in fact, you need to.

The mindset shifts and core message of this approach will positively impact your relationships with everyone: adults in your life, your spouse, boss, family, friends.
And on top of that, it impacts the relationship you have with yourself, pushing you to do the inner child work that transforms you into the parent you needed as a child and the parent your child needs now.
and I believe that the biggest gift we can give our children is modelling what it looks like to grow as a person, taking responsibility for our own healing, and being accountable for all the stuff we inevitably will do wrong with our kids.
When I first discovered respectful parenting, I was a fresh, new (tired) mom, and I was already stressed by all the resources out there. I had a strong image in my mind of how I wanted to show up, but I worried about my ability to make that happen.
But Respectful Parenting gave me the compass I so desperately needed. It felt like the perfect balance of very clear concepts that I could practise implementing in my home, while also giving me space to make it my own.
And for the times I failed? That just meant I had an opportunity to repair, and with that, model what a sincere apology looked like.

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve found parenting overwhelming, and I’ve been searching for a truer and more peaceful approach to family life.

“I LOVE the radical reframing exercise!”
I feel extremely moved and empowered after finishing this course. It has strengthened me in things I have sensed to be true (but doubted myself in) and opened my eyes to some new perspectives as well.

You don’t have to fight the waves of emotion anymore.
When you, instead, begin to ride them, you’ll go from feeling drained and exhausted by your childrens’ outbursts to seeing them as a welcome and needed opportunity that you’re able to handle with grace, confidence, and compassion.
