You’re in (so many) parenting groups online
But somehow, parenting is still so hard
... Maybe you just don’t see exactly how the advice you get online and in books
applies to your unique family
... Or you get lost in the heat of the moment,
and everything you planned to do just flies out the window
... Or your child doesn't follow the script, and you have no idea
how to get them to do basic things like brush their teeth or put their shoes on
Things fall apart just like they did every other time, and you
wonder why you bothered trying something different

This is the only membership grounded in a deep understanding of scientific research on parenting and child development. I don't just read books on these topics, I go back to the original source to understand whether today's trendy ideas (e.g. Polyvagal Theory) are worth paying attention to, before analyzing how to use them. No other parenting coach understands the research like I do.

"I joined the membership group hoping for evidence-based advice on what to say, or how to react to predictable, albeit challenging situations with my kids.
Instead, the past eight months have transformed me as a parent, deepening my understanding of childrearing and helping me discover ways to communicate with my girls that feels authentic and aligned with my overall parenting goals.
What I've learned from the membership helps me get through the day-to-day toddler grind without feeling mind-numbingly drained at the end of the day."
Before the Parenting Membership, we felt like we were just trying to survive! Then we learned how to explicitly and proactively think about our approach to parenting, rather than just reacting to our son.
Now we know we're heading in a direction that feels right for our family, even on areas where we used to disagree.
Also, Jen makes a huge amount of complicated research really approachable and easy to understand, which kept us from feeling overwhelmed by information!
As a Parenting Membership member, I've found that I am being more intentional, having the right kind of conversations with my husband, working with my kids the way I want to be, and enjoying learning, too.
Plus, it's nice to know that I'm not alone and that there are plenty of resources and other parents with whom I can connect on this parenting journey!"
“Jen’s body of work has been an incredible blessing to our family.
The community that’s been built with the Parenting Membership is incredible, and I just love how deep the materials and the conversations go on the calls — this is not a membership for surface-level thoughts!
We are vulnerable, we process deeply and we build better futures for ourselves, our children and the generations to come. So grateful for Jen and this community!
Knowing how you want to parent and developing the skills in the everyday situations that come up can be two different things and this membership presents both invaluable focused guides and just the right questions to apply this knowledge tailored to your own family. "The membership has been different from anything else I have seen in helping think about and articulate your own goals and really focus on putting problem solving strategies into place in your family.
I particularly like the focus on your own goals versus advocating a “one best way” type philosophy."
Jen's work has given me two precious gifts. The first, is a different attitude towards, and different perspective of, children. Now I see children as full and equal human beings, deserving of respect, deserving of dignity.
As a result, I'm less stressed about the daily small things that children do (or don't do). Our relationship is marked with more ease, because I can respond with an attitude of trust.
The second is the gift of relationships. During the weekly ACTion group meetings, we have a safe space to talk about struggles and things that are working well. These meetings are an anchor - there is sharing, learning together, growing, and holding space for each other. Being in community is key to changing ingrained patterns, and Jen's work facilitates community in exactly that way.
Hi, I’m Jen (and that’s Carys)
I host the Your Parenting Mojo podcast, which compiles the more than 10,000 hours I’ve spent researching parenting and child development to help you really understand each issue.
I know that when you’re shifting your approach to interacting with your child you need two things: you need the right information, and you need to know how to go beyond a understanding to make the new way a habit.
We aren’t short of information on parenting; it’s available everywhere online. What you need is someone who can help you sort through what’s worth paying attention to from what isn’t (I have a Masters in Psychology focused on Child Development and another in Education).
And because I’m trained in Co-Active Coaching and the Gottman Method of couples coaching, I can help you go far beyond just memorizing the right words to say to your child - and your partner! - to truly taking on this new way of being in relationships.
Right now it seems like you need help with individual challenges: screen time meltdowns, picky eating, or bedtime struggles.
We learn how to address these challenges not just with 'tips & tricks' or scripts but by deeply understanding both your and your child's needs.

Building on the tools from Module 2, we'll spend extra time on issues that have been ongoing for years.
The Gottmans say that 69% of couples' arguments aren't resolved, but we can find movement where it seems like none is possible right now.

Monthly Group Coaching Calls
for Individualized Help
Sometimes you do need to talk with me about your unique situation so you can find a path forward. Each month I host two group coaching calls, on the same weekday at 11am and 5pm Pacific. You won't be one of hundreds in listen-only mode; you'll get a chance to talk with me directly. Join live or listen to the recording later & get on the right track.
I'm a Co-Active Coach, and I'll work with you to offer the help you need in the way you need it: from brainstorming potential solutions to a coaching conversation where we uncover your true needs, so you can get these met.

Break big goals down into manageable steps
Variety of time options to suit any schedule
Gain friends for life who will be there for you no matter what!
You'll have the option to join an ACTion group of up to five peers who meet weekly with a seasoned peer coach to break down the changes you want to make into manageable steps.
Many parents initially doubt whether ACTion groups can help them. But very quickly the parents become kindred spirits: the kind of people they can tell anything, and know it won't be judged. Members laugh, cry, and celebrate together, and hold each other (gently!) accountable to keep moving forward.
