“Your time with your family can be difficult. You work hard, care deeply, and still feel like there’s never enough time, energy, or patience.”

 SOUND FAMILIAR? YOU’RE NOT ALONE 

FOR THE PARENT WHO NEEDS TO HEAR THIS

 

      “I’m tired of losing my patience and yelling at my child.”

You never imagined this would
be your life.

 

     
      “I feel like I’m running on empty.” 

You love your family. You love your work. But somewhere between the calendar, the clock and the endless to-do list, you’ve lost yourself in the chaos.

Most parents I work with aren’t failing — they’re exhausted by a system that simply doesn’t work for them. The good news: it doesn’t have to stay this way.

     
     
      “I’m always rushing, always behind, always feeling guilty.”

     
      “I love my family and my work — but in all the chaos,
       I feel like I’m losing myself.”

WHAT WE CAN WORK ON TOGETHER

There is a better way.

Strengthen relationships

Improve communication. Be more encouraging, less critical. Express your love and caring beyond saying, “I love you.”

Reduce Family Stress

Identify the real stressors underneath the chaos – the obligations, expectations, and hidden pressures – and address them directly.

Simplify Family Life

Redesign your routines and reclaim your power and your time – so there’s more room for the things and people that matter the most.

About Jennifer

I understand how stressful having a busy family life can be. 

On one of my worst days as a parent, when I pulled into our driveway after work with my young boys in the back seat, I saw that our front door was standing wide open.
 
I fell into a panic, then I wanted to cry.
 
In all the morning rush, I had forgotten to lock the door. I was in a hurry and was thinking about what all I had to do within the next hour, not about what I had to do in the next five minutes. 
 
That moment still haunts me when I think of what could have happened. 
 
I hate to admit that on that day my stress and its possible consequences threatened my family’s wellbeing. 
Just like other parents, being a good parent has always been extremely important to me — yet I found it genuinely hard.
 
As a working parent, I know firsthand the pressure of managing work and family at the same time — the calendar, the clock, the endless to-do list. I’d be at work worrying about what I needed to do once I got home. After I got home I had to rush to get dinner ready. Because I was often emotionally and physically exhausted, I could be short on patience with my family. 
 
The memories of those difficult days have never left me. They are the reason I do this work:
 
  • 30 years experience supporting busy parents 
  • 24 years of teaching parenting classes for Bellevue College, Washington state
  • Certified Parent Coach (PCI)
