You are the best asset your family has. It’s time to lean into that truth.

But let’s get real for a second—you don’t need to be everything. Chief cook, cleaner and bottle washer isn’t part of your job description. Do you realise that by trying to do and be everything you’re diluting yourself?

Doing everything for everyone means there’s no way you’ve got the energy left over for connection once you get to the end of your busy days and weeks.

It’s time to stop feeling guilty about that too!

I get it. I’ve been there. I know how impossible it is to be the parent my adolescent needs when I’m completely overwhelmed myself.

The problem isn’t you. It’s also not your young person. Or even your ex (believe it or not!).

The problem is the overwhelming stress, pressure and anxiety our world loads on all of us. It’s toxic. It’s corrosive. And it shows up in our weakened connections.

Connections that ironically are exactly what our young people need. And what we need. Connections that restore, recharge and revitalise our relationships. Letting us stand together. We’re way stronger that way.

This is exactly why I’ve relaunched my website - you’ll find me now over at www.connectedconversations.net

All the work I’ve been doing with parents and rangatahi has brought me to a deeper level of understanding about the connections that make the difference. This is where we start.

To celebrate this website change I’ve designed a specific 5 session coaching programme that will get you started on the unique changes you choose to make within your family. For the month of May the cost of this programme is radically reduced to $500 - that’s a 50% saving. (And it’s only for email subscribers).

Ready to stop shouting, then feeling guilty and being ignored? Use this link to book a time to chat and see if it’s a good fit for you.
