Recovering Yeller
Parenting Coach
Founder of Positive Parenting Solutions
Mom to 3 grown up kids (2 sons
& 1 daughter)
Lives in Raleigh, NC
I’m a recovering yeller who used to go to bed with a sore throat almost every night from yelling at my kids. I never thought I’d be “that mom” – locked in constant power struggles, repeating myself endlessly until I’d finally explode in frustration. Like so many parents, I felt like I was failing at my most important job, and I knew something had to change.
That’s what led me to become certified in Positive Discipline and ultimately develop the All-In-One Parenting Success System, which has now helped over 266,000 families worldwide. Unlike quick-fix solutions or TikTok parenting trends, my approach combines scientifically-based, seriously simple tools that get to the heart of why kids misbehave. Rather than temporary fixes that leave you battling the same problems over and over, we address the root causes – whether you’re dealing with toddler tantrums in Target or teen attitude at the dinner table.
As a parenting contributor to the TODAY Show for over 14 years and the author of two best-selling parenting books, I’ve become a trusted voice for families who are tired of feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and disconnected from their kids. You may have also seen me sharing practical parenting solutions on The Doctors, CBS This Morning, CNN, Fox & Friends, MSNBC, Steve Harvey, and Rachael Ray.
Fortune 500 companies and leading organizations worldwide trust me to support their employees’ families. More importantly, it’s why parents like you have made Positive Parenting Solutions their go-to resource for building stronger relationships with their children.
If you’re exhausted from the daily battles, worried about your relationship with your children, or simply tired of feeling like you’re always the “bad guy,” you’re in the right place. Whether you’re raising toddlers or teens, leading a single-parent household, or parenting as a team, I’m committed to helping you become the parent you’ve always wanted to be.
