Parenting in Hard Times

Create a practical plan to support your kids emotionally and physically during a crisis—so your family stays stable, connected, and resilient through life’s toughest moments.

🚀 Mission:

Parenting through a crisis feels heavy—but you don’t have to do it alone. This workshop gives you a clear plan to bring stability, emotional safety, and strength to your family when life gets shaky. Because in hard times, your kids need a steady, loving guide.

🎯 This workshop will:

  • Give you a game plan when life throws curveballs. Because “just winging it” is not a crisis strategy. You’ll learn how to create stability and security for your kids—even when everything else feels uncertain.

  • Teach you how to talk to your kids without scaring them (or sugar coating reality). You’ll get age-appropriate scripts and strategies to help your kids process what’s happening—without them spiraling into fear or confusion.

  • Help you be the calm, confident leader your family needs. Crisis parenting is hard, but you don’t have to be a martyr. You’ll walk away with real tools to care for yourself and your kids—so everyone comes out stronger, not just surviving.

What does a future without the skills you could learn in the Parenting in Hard Times workshop look like?

Without This Workshop

  • Kids feeling anxious and in the dark. When you avoid the hard stuff or try to “protect” them with silence, they’re left confused and scared—not supported.
  • Emotions exploding left and right. Without real coping tools, stress takes over. You’re reacting, they’re melting down, and everyone’s on edge.
  • Screens become the escape hatch. No routines + no boundaries = everyone glued to a screen to numb out. (And yep, it just makes things worse.)
  • You burning out while holding everything together. If you’re not caring for yourself too, you’ll run on fumes—leaving your kids with a frazzled version of you instead of the calm leader they need.

With This Workshop

  • Conversations that build trust, not fear. You’ll know how to talk to your kids about hard stuff—clearly, calmly, and in a way that helps them feel safe (not scared).
  • Less upheaval, more steadiness. With tools to manage emotions—yours and theirs—stress won’t spiral into daily meltdowns.
  • Stability your kids can count on. Simple routines and clear boundaries create security—even when life feels shaky.
  • A steadier, stronger you. You’ll care for yourself too, so you’re not running on fumes while trying to hold everyone else up.

This workshop is for moms who…

  • Feel like they’re holding it all together with duct tape and caffeine. Life is throwing curveballs, and you need a game plan before everything (and everyone) falls apart.

  • Want to help their kids handle hard times—without the “I’m fine” wall. You know your kids need support, but prying feelings out of them is harder than getting a toddler to eat a green vegetable.

  • Crave stability when life feels anything but stable. You want to create a sense of normalcy for your kids, even when things are chaotic, unpredictable, or just plain tough.

  • Know they can’t do it alone (and don’t have to). You’re ready for tools, support, and a solid plan to lead your family through challenges—without losing yourself in the process.

Don’t just take my word for it...

I'm so glad I purchased this course. I found the webinar recordings helpful and encouraging and have found all of the printable products a huge time saver! I love that I can revisit and use the other content/printables when needed as my children grow, meaning that this course has HUGE value for money. I'd definitely recommend the workshop!

I can definitely say this process has been net positive. I think it does also help me to really see my son for who he is and enjoy and appreciate him instead of hoping he'll be some other way than exactly the way he is, if that makes sense. Thanks again for everything!

I have enjoyed this workshop! It's allowed me to see a new/different side of my kids and engage with them in a more relaxed, responsive way.
