I joined Great Parenting Simplified at a time in my life when I was weighed down by the pressure of trying to be a perfect parent and feeling like I was failing dismally. My hope was to learn how to have more fun in parenting and to rediscover the fun person I used to be before I had kids!
In 2017, my experience in the Inner Circle program was profound - not just light bulbs turning on, but a whole lighthouse, illuminating my parenting path and changing the way I interact with myself, my kids and all those around me. I still have my regrettable parenting moments (!), but now look at them as snapshots in time and learning opportunities, instead of permanent black marks on my parenting record.
I have more compassion for myself, and my kids, and greater confidence and calmness in dealing with situations that used to feel out of control. I continued my learning through GPS to become a Parent Coach and am grateful to be able to support others on their journey to becoming the parents, and people, they want to be. I live in Calgary, Alberta and am a married mom of two incredible teenagers who keep teaching me every day.
I have lead GPS's Parent Coach in Training program, as well as continuing my own practice as a Parent Coach, and work towards helping lead GPS to meet goals to support families across the globe. More than just another parenting course, GPS has changed the way I approach my whole life. I use the lessons I've learned through GPS everyday and my family is stronger for it!
