LIFE CHANGING STORIES

From Real Parents Just Like You

Quote bubble with nectarine background Sarah | Mom of 3

Jess, I just want to say how helpful we found the boundaries workshop! With the daily reflection, we talked about things we never would have thought about. We started setting boundaries around our 2-year-old touching our 6-month-old, and it’s helping us feel more confident!

Quote bubble with red background Amy | Mom of 4

Thanks for the boundary challenge! LOVE the challenge format!! It’s been such a fun and helpful thing to do with my partner!

Quote bubble with pink background Andi | Mom of 3

Great examples and worksheets to help work through the challenges we have faced with our toddlers and setting boundaries.

Quote bubble with yellow background Shantelle | Mom of 2

Although my oldest is only 2, I am finding that setting boundaries is already helping our family. My oldest has big emotions and often struggles with them, especially since our attention has been split in half since our second entered the picture. It's an easy, simple way to communicate clear instructions and what's okay and what's not okay. I have already recommended your page and course to friends.

Quote bubble with green background Marisa | Mom of 2

I have received great tips on how to level with my kids in different situations, not only in tantrums but with hitting and yelling. My kids are in the age group where I have to be more firm with boundaries and let them understand why I have to guide them through situations. I would recommend this course to all parents that need some guidance and to understand not to feel bad about why you are creating a boundary.

Quote bubble with blue background Abi | Mom of 1

I can’t recommend your workshops highly enough. They are thorough but clear, and I really like the printouts that come with each section. Your ethos aligns perfectly with my hopes and goals for setting boundaries in a loving way and supporting my children more effectively in the long term. I can’t wait to do more of your workshops—thank you so much.
