i want you to feel confident, not scared

when your toddler loses their sh*t.

big feelings is a different way of seeing toddlerhood, and the strategies you need to make it something enjoyable for both of you

  • what i’ve felt, learned, and stumbled over while living life with toddlers and their big feelings the past 10 years. and the things that have helped me grow the most.

  • the difference between IQ and EQ, and the research on what toddlers need for healthy emotional development.

  • why i don’t believe scripts are your savior. i would rather teach you to see what is really going on underneath the surface of big feelings instead of giving you another script that doesn’t work in real life when you need it to.

  • i teach you why the hell your toddler acts like that… and what is going on in their little brain during this time in their life. it’s magical, actually.

  • notes from the past few years i’ve spent with highly intelligent toddlers and their moms, + what they need that is different from other kids their age.

  • meltdowns are not the same thing as tantrums, and there are two different types of tantrums (no one tells moms that). when you respond the same way or use the same script, things break down quickly. you’ll learn how to see which one is happening, and how to give your toddler what they need for each of them.

  • boundaries are not just about saying no. guidance for choosing your family values, and creating the boundaries that are best for YOUR family. i also show you how to use boundaries to protect your nervous system throughout the day (so you are not falling apart or crying while talking to chatgpt after bedtime)

  • ways to hold a boundary without losing your sanity, and do it in the most emotionally healthy way so you still have a good relationship with your toddler. there are many win-wins in toddlerhood if we know how to find them.

  • we go through practical ways to change a behavior in an emotionally intelligent way, how to have realistic expectations by age, and what is normal vs concerning when it comes to common behaviors.

  • a practice to learn personal ways of regulating your nervous system, and even while your toddler is in the room.

TODDLER MOMS ARE THE SH*T

you will grow more emotionally in this season than you ever have in your life.

but i don't want you to just survive this season. i want you to realize the ooey, gooey, juicy goodness of it.

i want you to enjoy your toddler instead of being scared about the next tantrum.

i want you to love watching this little child that you birthed from your own body grow into a wonderful human, and to feel good about how you're shaping that.

all of it is possible.
