“I was ashamed to reach out for parenting help. I felt like I was a failure as a parent. My kids were completely out of control and I was an emotional mess. I started our first coaching session crying about what a bad mom I am and that I’m ruining my kids. Lisa interrupted and said, “Focusing on what you did wrong is like going to a diet center and talking about how you gained weight. What’s the point? Isn’t it better to talk about how you’re going to lose weight? Now, let’s get to work turning you into the great mom you want to be.” I was taken aback but Lisa made me feel taken care of. I am proud to say that I’m now often asked by friends how I manage to get respect which still being the fun mom.”
