Join us for Rupture & Repair, a discussion focused on strengthening the parent-child relationship through everyday challenges. We’ll explore how moments of conflict, miscommunication, and big feelings can actually become powerful opportunities for connection and growth.
In this discussion, you’ll learn:
✨ Why conflict is normal (and expected!)
✨ How repair builds trust and emotional security
✨ Simple tools to reconnect after hard moments
✨ Ways to model accountability and emotional regulation
Children don’t need perfect parents — they need parents who come back, reconnect, and repair. 💛
Come learn how small moments of reconnection can make a lifelong impact.

💛 Good Enough Is Truly Enough 💛
Parenting doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
Children don’t need flawless parents—they need present, responsive, and caring adults who show up most of the time.
Join us as we explore Good Enough Parenting:
✨ Letting go of unrealistic expectations
✨ Balancing love and limits
✨ Embracing mistakes, repair, and everyday connection
✨ Supporting healthy emotional development and resilience
If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I doing enough?”—this space is for you.
Because showing up, trying again, and loving your child matters more than getting it right every time.
