You've asked your child to get ready for bed 10x now. You've asked nicely, you've tried negotiation and it's still not happening... so now you yell...
But now you're both upset, feeling more distant than ever, and the guilt is settling in...
But it doesn't have to be that way...

You've tried just about everything to keep calm and parent more confidently:
You’ve tried talking to friends and family… but there’s a sense of obligation or judgement that comes from that advice and they don’t seem to get what you’re trying to do.
You joined all the parenting groups… but holy moly is that a lot of contradictory opinions! And no one seems to fully get what you’re really asking!
You’ve listened to all the podcasts, read all the blogs, and watched all the reels… And while uplifting, it’s so hard to know how to apply it in the moment.
You’ve read so many books... or at least parts of books, feels like there’s never enough time and they don’t really reflect what you’re actually dealing with…
You memorized all the parenting scripts… hoping they were the magic bullet that would help you reach your child and get them to listen… they weren’t.
You tried to just be more strict, less strict. More consistent, more go with the flow. Use a sweeter tone of voice, use a firm voice. Say please more, stop using please. Stop saying ‘no’ more, say ‘no’ more. Use more punishments, Use more rewards…
But OMG… you are exhausted, aren’t you?
Is there anything even left for you to try?! When will you ever NOT feel like a banshee?!
When will your kids ever listen?!
or you could use a tested, signature, easy to personalize, process to:
Reduce power struggles, strengthen relationships, and raise happy, well-adjusted kids without bribes or punishments... or being walked over!
Here is what happens when you do that:
You approach each new situation with calm confidence… an energy your kids can sense! You feel heard and valued! Your child feels respected and so can more easily respect you! You STOP questioning and feeling guilty about your expectations and boundaries! You no longer base your self-worth on your children’s behavior… releasing that burden and in doing so create safety for your children. You no longer worry about your children in the future. You know the foundation you’re providing will help them every step of the way. You parent from your values instead of your fears. You find the joy in the everyday moments. You fight less with your partner and learn to have those hard conversations. You no longer feel the need to yell, outside of emergencies, and so now you can truly teach to your child’s heart and mind.
I’ll be honest with you:
Getting to this point wasn’t easy
I thought I knew what I was doing. I mean I’ve been working with kids since I WAS A KID! I had people coming to me as a teacher asking for my help with parenting their kids even before I ever had kids!
I appeared strong and confident. I knew what I wanted my parenting journey to look like and how to “manage” children. And my husband and I had had ALL the conversations before we became parents about our beliefs around discipline.
But I wasn't what I appeared...
I was angry. Ooooh so angry.
And arrogant, not confident.
But, just like in the parenting world, yelling and blaming the kids was normalized in the teaching world.
All I would hear, over and over, was how these kids just needed more discipline, how they were lazy and entitled and bullies…
So I tried...
Behavior charts Demanding respect and obedience Taking ‘privileges’ away Getting louder. Asking my fellow teachers and parent friends for help (all this did was reaffirm that kids are manipulators that intentionally make our lives miserable)
And then I almost hit my son and my reality shifted...
I realized how hypocritical I was being. That I was expecting things of kids I couldn’t even do myself!
>> I started researching parenting styles where “I trusted my instincts” and “discipline without spanking”.
>> I worked on shifting my perspective on behaviors to see the struggling child underneath. As well as researching brain development and what developmentally appropriate expectations were.
>> I worked on my own emotional regulation and conflict resolution skills so I could walk others through the process.
>> I began listening before offering solutions… and even not jumping in with my solutions at all! (Ok I’m still working on that one 
)
>> I stopped using all the behavior charts (that I could never keep up with anyway) and instead focused on relationship: trust, listening, empathy, and collaboration.
And this time, I finally started to see the results I'd only dreamed of:
Reduced power struggles and defiance
More control of my own emotions and reactions
Less fighting between kids as they learned to voice their needs and frustrations.
Less tantrums and more resilience
A calmer, more joyful me… someone who enjoyed being with kids again!
The best thing?
Not only has this system helped me and my clients become more responsive and more able to handle the rollercoaster of emotions that come from our kids, but I can already see the impact it’s having on our children!
While no one, especially kids, will get it right every time, it truly is amazing what can happen with modeling grace, connection, and curiosity! To see a child go from hitting in frustration and screaming at you to stop talking to helping their FRIENDS with THEIR big feelings…
Talk about breaking Generational Traumas!
And it’s not just me! I often have clients telling me how their children are showing more emotional regulation, cooperation, and empathy after using the Parenting From Connection Framework!
So how does it actually work?

Does this actually work?
I am so convinced of the method and tools we use in Parenting From Connection because they helped me to completely change my life.
I went from pro-spanking and punishment, yelling daily, and dealing with the emotional and physical toll of being so angry all the time to yelling maybe 1-2x a month. I no longer need to rely on threats, bribery, or punishments but use connection, curiosity, and communication.
And you can too! It's not about being perfect. But making intentional changes which we make easy in Parenting From Connection!

Before joining Parenting From Connection, life was pretty stressful. We worked on all the things but I felt like I just wasn’t making it work so to speak. Now I find myself being able to actually use the tools you (Mary) have been giving me.
My favorite part of the group is the connection. Knowing that there are other moms out there with stories and situations similar to ours is priceless.
Honestly, I decided to join Parenting From Connection because I know that am a better mom when I can connect with you (Mary) and other moms more. It’s like having the reminders more often triggers my brain to process them into useable knowledge. (Plus as your friend who believes in you and in what you teach, I will do anything I can to support you! You truly have changed our family from the inside out and I am forever grateful for you, for your knowledge, and most of all for your friendship-as cheesy as it sounds it’s true!!)
Before joining The Lounge I guess I felt no community and kinda alone on what I was walking through. Sure there were other really big groups I could go to, but those ladies were only seeing sliver into my life. Where I felt The Lounge was more close knit and the ladies there truly understood where I was at and what I was going through. Now, I feel I have closer friends and a community of moms who want to support one another and truly care about you.
I think our group calls we’re my favorite and of course you (Mary) just being a great friend and not ever feeling judged no matter how ugly my bad parenting days got lol. I never felt fearful to come to the Lounge and be completely vulnerable and expose some of my lowest moments.
Because I knew that community was what I really needed and was that missing piece for me. Especially as a mom who already doesn’t have many mom friends and ones that parent this way at that. I just needed to know that I wasn’t alone in this and joining the Lounge has been that for me.
Before joining the group, I didn’t have as much support in my parenting. Now, if I have comments questions, I know that I have others who will listen.
Mary is wise, cheerful and kind, and committed to parenting in a loving, connected and peaceful way. I wholeheartedly recommend Parenting with Connection!

Frequently Asked
Questions
A: The Parenting From Connection Framework is meant for any stage of parenting! Some of the connection and conflict resolution techniques will need adjusted based on the age, but the foundation of connection, curiosity, and communication remains the same!
Don’t wait until you’re in the trenches to get help if you can help it! Starting now gives you the best opportunity to be ready for all the challenges that are coming.
And those of you with tweens and teens… you know what they say, ‘the best time to plant a tree was yesterday, the next best time is now.’
We have moms in their early 20’s through their mid 40’s, there’s support no matter your season of life!
A: As much or as little as you want!
This program is completely self-paced! While I do have some lessons where I’d like you to slow down and complete before moving on, you get to decide what that looks like!
We had one mom who’s first call was just after giving birth! LOL
But I would suggest attending the Connection Call each month (1hr or less) and utilizing the Whatsapp coaching days each Tuesday and doing one lesson a week, so an average of 15m a day to watch and implement.
But the time and stress savings you’ll gain will feel like you get hours back in your day!
A: Great question!
I have spent years learning about child and brain development and how to work with it instead of against it.
Unlike traditional/ punitive parenting that puts the pressure on parents to control their children (even when they’re not with them!), the Parenting From Connection Framework is based on the principles that children/ humans do the best they can in the moment.
That misbehavior is caused by lagging skills, unmet needs, and/ or not feeling safe and connected. So we work to understand the root cause of the behavior and empower our kids to learn how to self or co-regulate, communicate, and advocate in an age and developmentally appropriate way.
While this doesn’t fall under one specific parenting philosophy, it is based on the concepts of gentle parenting, respectful parenting, conscious parenting, intentional parenting, and positive parenting.
A: Yes! I’ve designed Parenting From Connection the ground up!
It will take you from where you are now and lead you through each framework step-by-step so that you’re never overwhelmed. Each new concept builds on the last, giving you actionable, but bite-size, lessons.
Plus, we ALL had to start at the beginning! I was once a HUGE supporter of spanking and shamed and yelled at kids more than I’d like to admit. I was so easily triggered! So if I can do it, you can too!
A: Yes! While some concepts may be more a refresher for you, different stages of parenting bring new challenges and aspects of ourselves we still need to address.
So going through this framework and having the support of a community will allow you to not only address those new challenges, but fill in the gaps that may be missing.
A: Parenting From Connection is not for those looking for a quick fix. It’s not for those who want their kids to do all the changes.
It’s also not for those who just want to find more “positive” ways to punish your child.
While I wish I could give you the one tool that would make parenting super easy and have your kids agreeing with you and listening the first time all the time, that’s just not realistic. And honestly, not going to meet your goals of raising happy, resilient, and independent adults!
The conflict they experience with you teaches them how to resolve conflict with others!
There is no perfection, mistakes and disagreements will happen. If you want to learn how to use that to it’s advantage and teach those life skills, then this program will work for you.
A: This program is focused on moms and the FB group and calls are only open to women to protect the vulnerability shared there. But if you’re a grandma or a female caretaker you are welcome to join too!
And yes, partners are welcome to get a complimentary login so they can have access to all the material too. Just email me at [email protected] and let me know what email you used to sign up with plus their name and email and I can send you a one time link.
A: You can totally wait and join later! But you’re here now for a reason.
Every moment you put off addressing your own self-healing, growth, and challenges the more your relationships drift apart and the more you have to fix later…
Our brains will continue cementing our current habits and mindset making it more challenging later.
The good news? It can be done! You just have to commit!
A: Lots!
As a member of The Lounge you have weekly opportunity to get coaching via Whatsapp, a member only FB group where you will receive a response within 2 business days, and monthly connection calls!
If you choose to upgrade to the inner circle you also get a monthly group coaching call to talk through your parenting, marriage, or personal challenges and go deeper than we can during the Live Q/A PLUS DAILY support via Whatsapp as needed.
A: Of course! Just email me at [email protected] at least 3 days before your next payment and I will cancel it for you. And you’ll maintain access till the end of your current billing cycle.
If you cancel via your portal I believe it cancels access immediately so please be aware of that. It is not a setting I have access to.
Also, make sure you email me at least 3 days before because payment starts processing usually 48hr before your bill date.
A: Due the the nature of the materials and the instant access there are no refunds. But you can cancel at any time.
And if you have any questions or problems please feel free to reach out and I will do what I can to make it right!
