::::
The teen years are tough.
No doubt.
And not only on our kids.
The teen years are really challenging for parents. We are moving through the final season of having our kids at home – our babes that couldn’t get enough of us for so many years, that have (seemingly overnight) grown into young people with their own thoughts and opinions, and NO time for us.
There is grief and worry that come along with this season of parenting. Often we are left feeling alone, like we are the only ones having a hard time. Feeling deep belonging to a community of like-minded parents seems hard to come by… The Living Joyful Courage membership IS that community.
We GET the intensity and whiplash of raising teens, from navigating mental health crises to substance use to school refusal and more… And we embrace the belief that there is hope on the other side.
Walk with us on this transformative path.
We made this space for you
– Cari, parent
You get it all
Group coaching
Twice monthly group calls are designed to bring members together for learning and group coaching.
We meet the second Wednesday of the month, 4:30-6pm PST, for a workshop style class, diving into content that is generated by the group and focusing on personal growth and Positive Discipline skills.
We meet the fourth Wednesday of the month, 4:30-6pm PST, for a group coaching where members have space to bring their current challenge and get direct coaching that they can take and integrate into their lives immediately
These calls are rich with connection, learning and growth.
Participating in the group calls offers members practical strategies and insights that help foster healthy communication, set boundaries, and navigate the conflicts showing up in their homes.
This is where we get real about what we are going through and support each other in feeling seen and heard.
Office Hours
Twice monthly space will be held for dropping in with me on zoom for those moments where you just have a quick question or need a little insignt on something you are moving through. These are unstructured time on zoom the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 4:30-5:30pm PST/ 7:308:30 EST.

How will this change my life?
Feeling authentic connection and knowing we matter is at the heart of Positive Discipline, yes,
but it isn’t ONLY true for our kids.
Joining Living Joyful Courage will give YOU the opportunity to be seen and deeply listened to,
and to know WITHOUT A DOUBT that you matter.
You will nurture a confidence in not only your parenting,
but in all the domains of your life.
Right now you are feeling the tension of this season of parenting,
or you wouldn’t be here, checking this out.
Something feels out of alignment…
Maybe you are struggling with maintaining relationship with your teen.
Maybe you are navigating feelings of isolation or loneliness as your teens find a life outside of the family.
Maybe you aren’t sure how to find the “kindness and firmness” that seemed much easier to embody when they were younger and taking seemingly smaller risks?
The membership will support you in coming back to who you know you are as a parent.
But don’t wait too long – time is limited, and the teenage years are a pivotal time in your child’s development. Take action now to create a more joyful and connected family dynamic.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this membership a good fit for?
This membership is for anyone who identifies as a parent, with middle school aged kids through the teen years. This membership is for parents who are committed to positive parenting, but even more importantly, parents that desire a space for their own personal growth.
This membership is good for parents who long for the connection and support of a like minded community.
The current membership community includes parents with kids just entering the teen years, as well as parents with kids moving into young adulthood. Some of the challenges in the group included school refusal, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, screen time drama, chores and contributions, substance use, defiance and stuggles with maintaining connection. We are all facing challenges that are real for us, and this is a space that can support you in being with those challenges.
What is the underlying philosophy of this membership?
Living Joyful Courage has at its core, the values of Joyful Courage: personal growth, powerful relationship, and influential tools for designing the life you want.
This is a space from parents, and we will be talking about parenting our tweens and teens. The tools and strategies that will be shared align with the PD pillars of mutual respect, belonging and significance, trusting the process, and having the courage to be imperfect.
This is not a space that embraces punishing or rewarding behavior, instead, participants will be encouraged to be curious about their child’s behavior in a way that leads then to a clearer picture of the problem, looking through the lens of finding long term solutions.
More than anything else this membership is designed to help members recognize how they are influencing their current challenges, and invites a deeper practice of being more intentional with their own behavior, so as to influence the overall energy of their lives.
What is the time commitment?
You design your adventure here – you are welcome to use the membership however feels good to you. The more you dive in, the greater the impact the work will have on your family. But remember, everything is optional.
-
- Group coaching calls are 1.5 hours, 2x/month
- Office hours are 1 hour, 2x/month
- Members are encouraged to make it to both monthly calls, AND you get to choose your own adventure, so if one call a month fits better for you, that is a-ok! We are here to support you however that works FOR you.
- The community forum is open 24/7 and can be used as it suits you.
- Virtual retreats will run 2-3 hours
When will the live calls take place?
Group calls will take place monthly the second and fourth Wednesday of the month, 4;30-6 pm PDT/7:30-9 pm EDT.
Will the live calls be recorded?
Yes! All of the workshop and group coaching calls will be recorded and archived, creating a bank of resources to come back to when members are looking for support around a specific topic. Retreats and office hours are not recorded.
What if I want to cancel my membership?
You can cancel your membership after the first 30 days, no questions asked. The expectation when you sign up is that you are committing to be a part of the membership for a full year. Life is unpredictable, and this community is designed to walk with you through the ebbs AND the flows. We are nice people and we believe in excellent customer service. You can always reach out to us if you are unhappy with your membership and we will find a win-win solution for all.
Will this work for me?
Let’s reframe this question to “will this membership be useful for the dynamic I am currently experiencing?”
The short answer is yes. Parents who join this membership, participate in the live sessions, use and practice the coaching and resources, will be able to make a significant impact on how they are experiencing the challenges they are facing with their family and in their life.
The long answer is also yes. AND, this may be a starting point for you. AND, the magic of this membership exists in how you implement what you learn and your willingness to try again and again and again.
Who is this program NOT a good fit for?
This program is not designed for parents who are in the season of parenting babies, toddlers or preschoolers. This membership is also not designed for parents of school ages kids. This membership is not for people who aren’t parents.
This membership is for parents of middle school kids and older, 12+ years old.
This program is not for parents who are unwilling to look at their own contribution to the struggles and discouragement they are finding themselves in.
This program is not for parents who are attached to laying down the law, issuing punishments, using rewards/bribes, or holding a belief that tweens/teens should be obedient towards adults, no questions asked.
