If the stakes feel higher than ever — don’t parent your tween or teen alone!

Wondering how to stay connected to your changing teen as they test every boundary??

Welcome to my online support group for those who have started my Tweens & Teens class!

Treat yourself to LIVE human support and community to help make sense of all the heavy stuff of adolescence…


 (attitude, bullies, mood swings, isolation, sneaking out, and sexting. Oh my!)

And that’s just on your end! Imagine what your teen is dealing with🤪

Join calls every two weeks with Mary
and other moms muddling through the
“Screw U, Now Tuck Me In” years
of adolescence

Becoming a safe place for your moody tween or teen to come home to takes time and community.

>> Parenting is the world’s most important (and difficult job). It deserves ongoing resources and support.

>> It takes practice and feedback to get new tools into our body and integrated in to how you actually show up in conflict.

>> Your youngish adult’s needs keep morphing, so your self-reflection and communication skills must adapt as well.

Get support from moms who truly understand your struggle AND also want to parent their kids gently and respectfully.

“I love the encouragement and the community of the coaching calls. I enjoy the break out times with the other moms who get it. It makes me feel less alone. I am able to stay calmer now as a result…and…put into practise what we were learning so it wasn't just head knowledge.”

—Amber E.

“I feel more calm and centered. We're working on repairing and reconnecting. Our home is calmer and I have more peace. It's been so affirming to know I'm not alone, and the focus has helped me really be intentional about showing up the way that I want regardless of my (teen). I also learned some helpful tools!”

—Melissa P.

“We are learning not to take everything so seriously. There is less we must punish …and more room for laughing. The live coaching …always fills me with hope.”

—Janette H.
