Our Method
The world is complicated. Parenting shouldn't be.
At GPS, we believe that less is more. This movement is called Great Parenting Simplified because the work of sifting through information has been done for you. We’ve taken proven science along with reliable techniques, and condensed them down to a few basic and coherent steps. This means less of your time spent sifting through information, and more on applying great tips and enjoying your precious family.
We recognize that growth and learning are not one-size-fits-all. Our trained Parent coaches help you apply our tools and resources through consistent programming, designed to guarantee confidence and sustainability. We also remain connected through every step of your journey. This ensures every parent has support in becoming the parent they want to be.

"The thing I'm most grateful for in my life is my transformation from a parenting disaster to a master. To make the tranformation, I had to learn to focus on myself as my children's most important first leader. I had to figure out how to get the support I needed to apply the powerful tips I was learning, and to get off of the endless treadmill of consuming more parenting ideas. Ironically, I was running the first ever big parenting interview series, the Great Parenting Show, which led to me interviewing over 150 of the world's top experts. Meanwhile, I was yelling at my kids and I felt like such a failure. I KNEW what to do, but when I was triggered, I was clueless. I felt like such a loser.
Great Parenting Simplified was formed from my realization that I was the norm, not the exception. Privately, even some of the experts I was interviewing shared that they were struggling with the same challenges that included their own serious mental health issues as they dealt with similar feelings of being a fraud. It broke my heart when I heard from so many parents who were consuming the information that I was sharing with them through the Great Parenting Show, and who were also yelling more, not less. As I started to find the way to help myself, I vowed to pass that on to other parents. That's how this international movement was born.

I'm honored to be able to use my firsthand experience with clinical depression and a very challenging home environment to give struggling parents hope. As a professional who chose to quit work to be home with my kids, I was shocked to find myself in a marriage with escalating physical violence. I was able to stop that cycle by going to an emergency shelter with my two little children. That started me on a path to learning now to be the leader my kids needed me to be. I now pass on the tools I used to help me become the mother I had vowed to be for my two precious children, now 24 and 26. At the heart of my approach is creating a supportive environment for your growth as a parent, as you are one of your child’s most important leaders."

The tools I now use regularly, such as the pause button help me to be a much calmer mother. I am not perfect but I am much improved. I know now that I am not a monster. I am simply a mom who needed help.
