EMPOWERED PARENTING

Over the last few posts, we’ve explored two ends of the parenting spectrum.

Power Over.

Power Under.

Most parents aren’t trying to live in either of those places.

They’re searching for something in the middle.

A way of parenting that allows them to stay connected to their children while also providing guidance, leadership, and healthy boundaries.

This is where connection and leadership come together.

One of the things I appreciate most about this approach is that it allows two things to be true at the same time.

A child can be upset. And the boundary can still stand.

A child can disagree. And still be treated with respect.

A parent can make a mistake. And repair.

I think most parents already know how they want to show up: Patient. Connected. Steady. Present.

The challenge isn’t always knowing what to do. It’s accessing that version of ourselves in the moments that matter.

That’s one of the reasons I created Mother Hub.

It’s my app for moms, filled with guided programs, parenting resources, meditations, nervous system practices, and real-life support tools designed for the moments that matter most.

You can explore the app free for 7 days through the links in my bio.

And stay tuned for the next post, because we’re going to explore something that sits at the heart of all of this:

If I know how I want to show up as a parent…

What gets in the way?

POWER OVER PARENTING

One of the things that stands out most to me about Power Over parenting is that it usually isn’t rooted in a lack of love.

More often, it’s rooted in stress.

The rushed morning.

The sibling fight in the back seat (this one gets me A LOT)

The moment when everyone needs something from you at once and you can feel your capacity slipping away.

For many of us, Power Over shows up when we’re overwhelmed and looking for a way to regain a sense of control.

It can sound like:

“Because I said so.”

“End of discussion.”

“Do it now.”

And if you’re a mom, chances are you’ve had moments like that.

I know I have.

The challenge is that when control becomes the primary way power is used in parenting, children can begin learning things we never intended to teach.

Research has found that more authoritarian parenting approaches can be associated with lower self-esteem, increased anxiety, and greater difficulty expressing emotions in some children, while parenting that combines connection with clear boundaries tends to support emotional regulation, confidence, and resilience.

The good news is that most of us don’t live in one parenting style all the time.

We move between them.

Which means we have opportunities to notice, adjust, repair, and grow.

That’s one of the reasons I created Mother Hub—a space where mothers can find support, practical tools, and resources for the moments that don’t always go the way we hoped.

Next up: Power Under Parenting and how exhaustion, overwhelm, and burnout can shape the way power is used in parenting.

Power Over. Power Under. Empowered.

One of the most valuable things I learned during my training with the Jai Institute was that parenting often comes down to how we’re using power in the relationship.

The way we use power shapes the experience our children have of us, and it shapes the experience we have of ourselves.

What I love about this framework is that these aren’t labels. They’re patterns.

Most of us move between all three depending on our stress levels, support systems, sleep, nervous system capacity, and what life is asking of us. Some days we feel patient, connected, and steady. Other days we’re trying to get everyone out the door, answer messages, make dinner, manage schedules, and keep up with life.

It makes sense that we don’t show up exactly the same way every day.

Over the next few posts, we’ll explore each parenting style more deeply and some of the messages children may begin absorbing when those patterns become the primary way power is used in the relationship.

This isn’t about perfect parenting or judging ourselves. It’s simply an invitation to notice what shows up and get curious about why.

Which one do you notice showing up most often when you’re stressed, overwhelmed, or stretched thin? Let me know in the comments 🙏

Stay tuned for the next post, where we’ll explore Power Over Parenting and some of the messages children may begin absorbing when control becomes the primary way power is used in the relationship.

Yesterday I almost said no.

I had my hands in the sink, half a message typed out, and that endless to‑do list humming in the back of my mind. When my son asked me to work on a puzzle with him, the automatic “maybe later” was right there on my tongue.

I caught it. I said yes.

We sat on the floor for five minutes and made up a ridiculous game. We laughed until our stomachs hurt. Somehow that tiny detour grounded me more than anything else I’d done all day.

Moments like that don’t make the mental load disappear—but they make it feel lighter. They’re why I’m learning to carve out space on purpose instead of waiting for it to magically appear.

If you’re craving more pockets of presence like this, I’m working on something for you.

Do you remember when motherhood started to feel different?

It wasn’t that you loved your children any less. It was that you weren’t just in it anymore—you were managing everything around it.

One day you realized you were living in your head all the time. Thinking three steps ahead without even noticing. Holding on to the details everyone else forgets. Always tracking what needs to happen next.

Of course you do that—because you care deeply. But carrying that invisible load day after day can feel so heavy.

The schedules.
The mental notes.
The to‑do list that never stops growing.

We don’t talk enough about that part—the part where everyone thinks you’ve got it handled, but inside you’re juggling a hundred things at once.

If this feels familiar, comment “REAL.” I’m working on something to help moms feel a little lighter, a little more present, and a little more like themselves again.

This is something we don’t talk about enough. How parenting slowly becomes something to manage…instead of something we’re inside of 💔

Somewhere along the way we forgot that we CHOSE this path. This role. This honor.

(this is a big reason why I’m so committed to the Art of Sacred Parenting)

So much noise. So many expectations. Distractions. The constant feeling that we should be doing more - and then ‘fun’ becomes optional. But they need us here, NOW, Mama.

Access to our presence. Laughter. Aliveness.

And that part is hard to access when you are overwhelmed. It comes online when there is space. Space to catch your breath, space to put things into perspective. When your nervous system settles just enough to LIGHTEN UP, to soften.

So don’t let expectations, lists, guilt….any of it, dim your spark.

Let them see you have fun, let them FEEL YOUR LIGHT 💫

If that ‘space’ seems hard to access right now. I’m working on something just for you. If you’re a mom who is ready to feel lighter inside your own life again, comment SPACE and you’ll be the first to know.

Maybe something slipped this week in your world. It was probably something small. Or maybe it felt bigger than it should have.

But it likely stayed with you.

Not just the moment, but everything behind it.

the pressure
the mental replay
the feeling of getting it wrong

I see you, mama.

I know how much you’re holding.

And the truth is… much of the time, we DO have to hold it all.

The schedules
the details
the needs
the CONSTANT tracking of everything and everyone

That’s real.
But what makes it feel unbearable is when there’s no space inside of it. No room to breathe, no room to reset, no room to come back to yourself.

So instead of trying to drop everything, what if you just created a little more space inside of what you’re already holding?

What are you still carrying from that moment?
What are you replaying?
What could you put down even just for today?

Where could you let something be imperfect or let someone else hold a small piece?
This is the shift.
Not doing less, but holding it differently - with more space, with more awareness, with a little more grace.

I’m building something that’s going to help you do this
in real life.

In the middle of your day, before it all builds up.

If this feels relatable and you want to find that balance,
comment “SPACE” and I’ll notify you when it’s ready.

And if someone else needs this today, please share it with them🙏💞

This happened.

Four kids.
Appointments scheduled together so I didn’t have to do this multiple times.
School notes ready.
Everything coordinated.

I got the time wrong.
I thought it was 8:45.
It was 8:30.
They wouldn’t see us.

My heart sank.

I walked out of the office, left the kids waiting and went straight to the bathroom.

I closed the door and cried.

I came back out still trying to hold it together.

But I was still crying on the way home.

They could see how upset I was, even without me saying anything.

Not because of the appointment….but because I knew what it had taken to get everyone there.

And what it would take to do it all over again.

With four kids, you don’t just “reschedule.”
You coordinate schedules, school, timing… everything.

And I was so hard on myself.

When we got home, I came back to myself.

I told my kids the truth.
How much I had been holding.
And what it takes to make something like this happen.

Because it wasn’t about that one moment.
It was everything I had been carrying leading up to it.

THIS is the part we don’t talk about.

I see you.

I know how much you’re holding.
The things no one else sees.
The constant tracking, planning, remembering, adjusting.

And then one small thing goes wrong
and it all comes down on you.

Not because you’re failing.
Because you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

And sometimes…

it’s not about fixing it right away
or figuring it all out

sometimes you just need space

space to feel it
space to come back to yourself
space before you have to hold it all again

and a little grace
for being the one who’s been holding it

I’m building something for you

something simple
something you can actually use in the middle of your day

something that helps you come back to yourself
before it all spills over

I’ll share more soon.

If this felt like you, comment “SPACE” and I’ll notify you when it’s ready

and if someone else needs this today,
share it with them 🙏❤️

(I SEE YOU Mama)
