Senior year—college apps, college tours, scholarship apps, senior ball, senior events, driving lessons, planning a graduation party, coming to terms with almost being an empty nester PLUS full-time teaching middle school Self-Love, Creative Writing, and Study Skills classes, hosting parenting classes- WHEW, it zapped all of my brain cells 😩 that’s why I was MIA! But I’mmmmmmm backkkkkkkk with something exciting to share!! What if your child had a coach for confidence, or resilience, or how about leadership? This would’ve changed everything when we were kids, right? Well this summer, let me be your child’s coach. I will be teaching the essential social and emotional skills that are NOT taught in schools. After years of teaching students, coaching, and supporting families, I created something I wish every child had access to: ➡️ A safe, fun space to grow emotionally ➡️ A coach who listens, teaches, and challenges them ➡️ A community of peers where they can be seen and supported Introducing 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁Power Pods! Weekly group coaching for kids ages 6–18. My 18 year-old will also be coaching the teen pod 🔥 There are 5 pods. Each pod consists of 4 weekly sessions. Each pod focuses on one of five key areas: - Confidence Crew – self-esteem & self-expression - Kindness Kingdom – empathy & compassion - Real Talk Tribe – emotional awareness & communication - Mindset Masters – resilience & growth mindset - Limitless Leaders – purpose, values, & decision-making 📍45-minute Zoom sessions 📍Grouped by age Investment: Join each pod for only $47 OR join unlimited pods for $137 🎉🎉 It’s a new kind of coaching experience for kids—and I’d love for your family to be part of it. I even have something for the parents that will make these pods even more effective, but I’ll tell you more about that when we chat. 👉🏾 Ready to learn more and register?

Brag on your kids.

I know many of us have been working on breaking away from a lot of the ineffective parenting practices that our moms did. But what are those things that she did well that you use and that you’ve taught your child? For me, it’s saying I love you. It used to be hard for me to say I love you because of the strained relationship that my mom and I had. She would say she loved me, yet exhibited behavior of the contrary. Meanwhile, my Nana would show her love, but would NEVER say it…like ever 😩 The words “I love you” were such a conundrum for me, and I needed to heal. I had to tell myself that I could say AND show love. It didn’t have to be one or the other. I had to take what I learned from being raised by my mom and my Nana and make love make sense. I consciously decided I would tell my son I love him everyday and of course show it too. But I didn’t want to do more to compensate for not being able to say it as he got older. Im glad that my mom taught me the power of those three words. My son is 17 and we say “I Love You” every day. I may say it first or he may say it first. He says is before he leaves the house, before bed, and even in front of friends. For that I am grateful 🙏🏾💕 What is 1 Thing Your Mother Taught You That You Use or Do in Your Life Now?

I just watched two videos, and let me tell you it so resonates and makes me think and realize. I need to work on a lot. I started feeling guilty as I realized just how I was doing a lot of these things, seeing andhearing these things. WOW!!

I love the idea of this group I think at this day and age and this time in life it was needed for me. I have 2 older children they are 25 and 23. My youngest is 14. I remember going through teen behavior before with my older 2 but it’s so different with my youngest. I have assumptions as to why with social media being way bigger than it was then. I just feel she (my 14 year old) is so negative in a sense of self esteem and confidence, she is also to me way too empathetic with what goes on in the world and she becomes so engulfed and that turns into sadness. She is a smart beautiful kind girl and I wish she knew that. No matter how much we encourage her she has these bought of doubt.
