and be supported by a community of parents working towards the same goal - without ever feeling the need to be 'perfect'.
SPOILER: None of us are.
If you're a dedicated parent trying to do your best, then this might sound familiar.
You're scrolling Facebook, reading blogs, buying parenting books and talking to friends, trying to find the pieces to this parenting puzzle.
You're dealing with tantrums, and wondering if anyone else finds it this hard.
You want advice, but you want it to be evidence-based, not anecdotal or just plain crap.
Your number one goal is to raise happy, well-adjusted, confident, resilient adults who can achieve their full potential.
You want to parent in a way that feels good - for you and for your kids.
You want to become a voice in your child's head that helps them overcome life's challenges.
You might be having a hard time finding other parents you can talk to about your parenting style, or your parenting challenges.
We've all heard "it takes a village to raise a child".
But villages aren't always easy to find. And even if you're lucky enough to have one, sometimes the support provided doesn't look or happen in a way that actually helps.
It might even be adding to your stress.
You don't have to keep searching online, reaching out to family who don't understand or friends who parent differently to you, hoping to get something useful in return.
It's a safe place for whole-hearted parents to share their stories, seek support, and find their community.
The Village is about learning, growing, sharing and supporting. It's about working together to raise courageous, connected, confident young people. We support each other, in order to better support our children.
You will be able to:
Access weekly "Ask Me Anything" sessions, ask for support, build friendships and share our parenting stressors and successes.
I run a group chat every week. Miss the live?
Just catch it later, or listen via the private podcast link.
We'll all bring our own perspectives and experiences, as we explore everything it takes to parent whole-heartedly.
I'm always active in the group, and I offer my thoughts and advice on parenting challenges.
We'll be co-creating.
If you have a topic idea, share it with me, and we'll go there together.
You had somewhere to share your parenting highlights and lowlights.
You felt confident and clear in your parenting beliefs.
You had space to share, without fear of judgement and shame.
You had other parents who could support you through the good times and the bad.
You felt more emotionally available and present with your kids.
You had space to celebrate your parenting wins.
It's all inside The Village.
Ready to join us?
I'm mum to two girls. I understand the trials and tribulations of parenting because I'm in the trenches with you.
I also graduated as a social worker in 2007, and since then I've worked with children and families. I've assessed, trained and supported therapeutic foster carers. I've helped children and young people heal from broken attachments and trauma.
This work gave me unique insight into childhood development and what it takes to raise resilient children. It provided me with a deep understanding that every parent is doing their best with the knowledge and resources available to them. I also witnessed the whole family transformation that can occur when a parent feels emotionally supported, and has access to the right information at the right time.
Here are some questions people have asked before saying "heck, yes!" to The Village:
