Hi! I’m 49 years old and the proud mom of three—my kids are 24, 20, and 17. Ever since I was a child, my dream was to be a stay-at-home mom, and while I’ve loved parenting, I quickly learned how tough it can be. I set high expectations for my kids, shaped by my own upbringing, where comparisons and achievement were emphasized. This caused me to struggle with anger and tension in my relationships with them. Through self-reflection and effort, I was able to overcome that anger and rebuild stronger, more meaningful connections with my children. Now, I’d love to support and encourage other parents—because I truly believe it takes a village to raise kids.
