3 Steps to Start the Empowered Parent Path

Awareness

Great changes come with increased presence. Mindfully approaching life's challenges makes tough parenting moments much easier. In this workshop, you will explore various mindfulness-based activities to increase your resilience through increased awareness and presence.

Healthy Mindset

We can't change others, but we can change our perspective and thoughts towards them, the situation, and ourselves.


In this course, you will participate in various exercises to create new thought patterns, habits, and beliefs to fit your desired role as a parent and support a more joyful approach to parenting while minimizing stress.



Increased Energy

We can't give what we don't have, even though many of us do this to the detriment of our health and well-being.


As parents, we often give from an "empty bucket" rather than an energy "overflow." This has negative health consequences for our nervous system, adrenal fatigue, and burnout.


In this course, you will discover what unconscious behaviors to avoid that needlessly deplete your energy. Then, you will create & put into action a new "positive energy plan" so you connect with your kids from a place of love and joy (striving, not surviving).

Taking this parental growth journey with us will change the prism through which you see yourself as a parent & your child. You will learn & use simple but effective tools & practices to approach everyday situations with more consciousness, connection, and calm.

This online workshop will introduce you to the tools & support to:

  • More energy and mental clarity to see things that bother or trigger you in a new light.


  • Become less triggered & more resilient as you see & experience the things that used to trigger you in a new light.


  • Mindfully model how you want your child to respond in stressful situations.


  • Feel More Joy as you focus more on what is good in your life while being mindful of the thoughts that take you into the "problem loop."


  • Manage confrontations, outbursts, meltdowns, and intense emotions with more patience, empathy, and compassion (for yourself & your child).


  • Lead by example, teaching your child to feel more joy and less stress by implementing new tools and practices.

Why Take this Workshop?


  • When we experience high levels of stress, our relationships become strained and stressed. When we better manage our stress, we can create more positive and loving connections with those around us.


  • When our health & well-being suffer, the family suffers.


  • Our children (especially our sensitive ones) feel our emotions. When you are overwhelmed or feeling discontent, even when you say you are OK, your body and emotional energy tell a different story. What emotional energy do you want to share with your child? Frustration, guilt, sadness, or courage, gratitude, acceptance, and love?


  • No one taught us how to handle parenting challenges, how to care for ourselves so we can better care for our children, & how to balance everything.


  • Life can be different when we have the right tools, & support to create a new story.


  • By showing children that being an adult does not solely equate to stress and burdens but also includes opportunities for joy and fulfillment, we can instill in them a healthy perspective on adulthood.


  • When we are feeling happy and less stressed, it is MUCH easier to help our kids feel this way, too.

Parent's Feedback

This is something that every parent needs to do for themselves and their children. I did not even realize I needed this course, but I am so grateful I joined.

Rachel

Mom of 2-teens (one with ADHD)

My relationship with my son has completely changed. I have replaced feelings of guilt and resentment with love and acceptance. Thank you!


Ida

Single mother of child with developmental delays

Extremely helpful. Clearly we need to be able to reduce our own stress and stress in the household in order to help the kids reduce theirs.


Tracy

Mother of two with special needs

Dr. Shaffer is not only knowledgeable, but extremely empathetic and relatable. She shares and opens up fearlessly about her own parenting experiences to invite a safe space for parents and caregivers to get support, be heard and get inspired! She is a privilege to meet and learn from. A true gem!

Audray

Mother of a young girl with autism

Excellent resource for parents looking to make that leap from frustration to problem-solving mode. Parents will gain the confidence that working to regulate our own emotions and stress will help us carve out a safer space and a calmer environment for both parents and children to thrive.
