Hello there, Gorgeous,
Do you ever find yourself shouting, “How many times do I have to tell you…”
only to feel terrible afterwards?
You're not the only one. I’m not a perfect parent either.
We all want to do better.
If you want to help break free from yelling, and have a desire for real, compassionate strategies to break the cycle of frustration,
We’re here for you.
Chronic yelling doesn't just damage your relationship—it can actually impact your child's immune system, learning, sleep patterns, and long-term emotional health.
If you need a safe place to land after mucking things up with your kid, listen in.
Maybe you never experienced kind, gentle parenting being modeled as a kid. If that’s the case for you, I feel it, that was hard! Luckily, those experiences don't mean you can’t create the loving, understanding relationship you always wanted) with your own kids.
Listen now and take a small step towards a more peaceful home.
With Kindness and Love,
Allison Michelle
Hellooo!
It’s bound to happen eventually, our sweet kiddo (that once said they would never want to love anyone else or move out)
not only gets a boyfriend…
but they pick someone to be their someone that
you …don’t even like.
Ugh. I’m sorry.
Or worse, they are actually not so nice to our kid… If you are worried about your kid’s choice of boyfriend or girlfriend. You are in a tough spot. I hear you.
If you would like some ideas on how to make the best of a yucky situation.
If you like what you hear, support us by sharing with someone you love.
Oh wait! I’m getting ready to unveil my hot new domain with a rebrand🤩, watch for my emails asking you to scoot over to my new email system.
Love and Kindness,
Allison Michelle
Hey Mamma,
Sometimes giving our best doesn't seem like enough.
Sometimes, no matter how much we commit to being calm or how much we want to rise above the challenge of leading our kids with courage,
we still might not feel like we can give our kids what they deserve, the ways of being that our heart yearns to give them.
When we want to give more to our families and friends, but the reserves aren’t there, sometimes it feels impossible, and even hopeless. 💔
Our kids are facing this stress too.
Your teenager might feel isolated or hopeless when they see their classmate post a bright pic on social media, with their “perfect” boyfriend, or their “perfect” cheer squad,
(even if in reality, those same people are hoping for likes to soothe their own feelings and struggles…).
Maybe your teens are worried about the recent US election outcome and have anxiety about the future of our world…
I see you. There is hope. Don’t give up, Mamma, you are already doing amazingly.
You are sweet and lovable. Please choose to believe I mean you, {First_Name} when I tell you how fabulous you are.
You are not alone.
Thank you all for reading and listening, and for being here.
I’m so grateful for you and glad you’re here!!
With Kindness and Love,
Allison Michelle
Hi!
Does your teen dread being asked what they want to do after high school,
or feel worried and hopeless about the future?
The world is changing so fast it's no wonder teens feel overwhelmed.
Maybe the traditional path doesn't feel right for your unique teen, or maybe they just want to feel like they have options.
I got to chat with Emma Perez about ways to make it in life without a traditional 4-year college career path.
Emma is a career and life design coach for teens, the author of What's the Point of School: Ed Transformation, A Matter of Life and Death, a book that explores the current goal of the American education system, how it came to be, and what effects it has on our children's well-being and future. She guides students through self-discovery, career exploration, and vision creation.
Listen in to our conversation to feel some relief.
We’re Glad You’re Here!!
