Life Coaching and Education for Parents
When we enter parenthood…
…we have dreams of who we will be.
We see ourselves building a successful career, making home-cooked meals and enjoying peaceful bedtime snuggles.
But reality is very different.
There’s too much to do. Overwhelm sets in.
It’s easy to feel like you’re failing when you’re late for work. When you serve Hot n’ Ready pizza for dinner. When your son has a tantrum at Walmart. When you lose your temper and yell.
Eventually, despite having a beautiful life on the outside, you start to feel broken the inside.
I’ve been there.
I had 3 beautiful kids and an amazing husband. I had a Masters degree and was running an international research centre.
On the outside, I had it all. And on the inside, I was MISERABLE.
I was so overwhelmed I couldn't think straight (hello brain fog!)
I criticized myself constantly.
I cried often (including in my boss' office.)
I snapped at my kids and my partner.
I was a HOT MESS!
(Which is normal, BTW. Research shows that 14% of mothers experience anxiety and burnout - a number that doubled during COVID.)
You can feel better.
I found the help I needed in life coaching. I've learned to create true happiness in the beautiful chaos of parenthood.
My experience was enough to motivate a career change. I'm now a certified life and parenting coach and I’ve helped hundreds of stressed out parents create authentic happiness.
2 ways to get support
Candid Conversations about Thriving in Motherhood.
This is small, in-person group program for moms. Talk openly about the ups and downs. Build high-trust relationships with other moms. Learn research-informed strategies to manage the challenges of parenthood.
Authentic Mom Workshop
This 1-hour, online workshop covers similar tools to Candid Conversations about Thriving in Motherhood. (All my coaching comes down to fiercely honouring yourself, in a way that still builds connection with those you love.)
**This workshop was delivered in partnership with Childreach and is hosted on their website.
Get Kids to Listen Without Yelling or Nagging Workshop
The name says it all. If your kids are age 2+ and their meltdowns or defiance are driving you nuts, this for you. You’ll learn what drives misbehaviour, and learn concrete strategies for addressing behaviour effectively at its root cause.
Coaching with Chelsea is exactly what I needed. I had been stuck in a certain way of thinking that was preventing me from reaching some of my goals, but I didn’t even know it until working with Chelsea. Chelsea has an incredible way of journeying with her clients. She makes her lessons easily accessible by offering easy to incorporate strategies in a safe and non-judgemental environment.
