“My teen pulls away. I push harder. They shut down more. I just want my kid back.”
The Under-60-Minute Workshop That Will Change Everything About How You Parent Your Teen and how you show up in your home tonight
A self-paced video workshop + companion guide grounded in adolescent brain science and Positive Discipline. Stop reacting. Start responding. Starting tonight.
- 🌸 Decode what’s really happening in your teen’s brain — so the eye-rolls and shutdowns stop feeling like personal attacks
- 🌹 See the world they’re actually growing up in — and learn how to be their safe place inside it
- 🌻 Get the Positive Discipline shifts that turn the dynamic around — boundaries with empathy, connection through pushback, the long game
“My daughter left me a sweet note this morning — thanking me for setting boundaries and being someone she can talk to. She said she’s happy and confident. This was after a very difficult season and some very scary situations. She has made a complete turnaround this past year. This transformation may not have happened without your wisdom and advice. You are making a difference.”
You’re just missing a few key pieces.
Parenting a teen is legitimately hard — not because you’re doing it wrong, but because the teen years are a season unlike any other. Your kid’s brain is literally under construction. Their emotions are supercharged. And the world they’re navigating is more complex and pressure-filled than anything we faced at their age.
When you understand the why behind your teen’s behavior, everything shifts. The eye rolls, the moodiness, the pushing back — it stops feeling like a personal attack and starts feeling like what it actually is: a kid doing the hard, important work of becoming their own person.
This workshop gives you that understanding — plus the practical tools to actually use it.
Let’s Make Sure This Is the Right Fit for You
I’d rather you know exactly what you’re walking into — and what you’re not — than have you buy something that isn’t going to serve you.
This IS for you if…
- Your kid is 10–17 and you’ve noticed the shift — they’re pulling away, talking less, or pushing back more
- You’re tired of reacting in the moment and then regretting how you handled it
- You want to understand what’s actually happening in your teen’s brain (not just be told to “stay calm”)
- You’re open to the idea that your growth is part of this — that becoming the parent your teen needs means evolving yourself
- You want practical tools without the pressure of a multi-week program — something you can do in one sitting
This is NOT for you if…
- Your teen is in active crisis (self-harm, addiction, danger) — you need 1:1 support, not a workshop
- You’re looking for a script that will fix your teen — this workshop is about shifting you, which is what changes everything
- You believe more control and stricter consequences are the answer — we’re going a different direction here
- You want a multi-week intensive with live coaching — this is a focused workshop, not a deep-dive program (though I have one of those too)
- You’re not willing to look at your own patterns and reactions — this work asks something of you, not just your teen
Everything That’s Waiting for You Inside
Four focused sections + a companion guide you’ll come back to again and again. Watch in one sitting or break it up — it’s yours to keep.
Teen Brains: What’s Happening Under the Hood
The brain science of adolescence — why your teen feels first and thinks second, why their emotions feel so big, and how sleep and stress amplify everything. The moment this clicks, your patience triples.
What’s Normal: Behaviors That Aren’t Problems
The pulling away, the obsession with friends, the rule-testing, the moodiness — what’s developmentally normal vs. what’s a red flag. You’ll stop treating growth as defiance.
Why It’s Harder Now: The World They’re Growing Up In
The digital world, mental health pressures, achievement culture, uncertainty about the future, shifting identity norms. Understand what they’re actually carrying — and how to be the steady presence they need.
How You Can Help: The 8 Shifts That Turn the Dynamic Around
The Positive Discipline practices that transform the relationship — being the grown-up, boundaries with empathy, staying connected through pushback, curiosity over criticism, and playing the long game.
The Companion Guide
A printable guide that distills the workshop into reflection prompts, key reminders, and practices to return to when things get hard. Stick it on the fridge. Open it after a tough night. This is what makes the workshop stay with you.

“A child needs encouragement like a plant needs water.”— Rudolf Dreikurs, foundational Positive Discipline thinker
I’m a Positive Discipline Lead Trainer, parent coach, host of the Joyful Courage Podcast, and the founder of Sproutable. I’ve been working with parents since 2007 — and in that time, I’ve learned that information alone doesn’t change behavior. That’s why this workshop pairs the why with the how.
I also have two young adult kids, which means I didn’t just study the teen years — I lived them. The chaos, the big emotions, the moments of thinking I was completely failing. The tools I teach aren’t just theory; they’re the exact things that helped my family come through those years with our relationship not just intact, but stronger.
You are the perfect parent for your child. This workshop will help you trust that.
