What advice would you give your new parent self?

There is no “best way" to parent, so don’t make “doing it right” your focus. Instead, set yourself on being present in each day and believe your instincts. Kids change rapidly and unpredictably. Trying to control everything and/or holding on too tightly will cause frustration and grief, but letting go and trusting love will bring growth, fun, possibility and deeper relationships.

What three words best describe your style as a coach?

Encouraging, playful and direct

What’s your favorite form of self-care?

Napping. For me, sleep is the great reset button.
