Hey Parents, have you lost your sense of self?
Reclaim your personal identity
(and lead a richer, more balanced life while being a great, fulfilled parent)
The responsibilities of parenthood can feel all consuming
Even the most capable parents sometimes forget who they are as individuals
Exhausted
Do you wonder if you’ll ever get a full night’s sleep again?
Distracted
Do you feel like your focus and creativity have disappeared?
Strung-out
Do you dread the “witching hour” and getting the kids to bed?
You can be an awesome parent and still be authentically you
You don’t have to sacrifice yourself on the altar of the “perfect parent”
Rested
Wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day
Focused
Direct your precious energy in the way that best suits you
Joyful
Have fun with the people you love most and do what fulfills you
You matter.
There’s no doubt that you love your kids, but being a parent–well, that’s a different story. While raising kids is a hard job and can feel overwhelming and isolating, you don’t have to loose your self to do it well.
I’m Suzanna–a parent, a coach, and someone who values my autonomy. I built the Parenthood Survival Guide for parents who don’t want to lose themselves in the chaos of parenthood. With this program you will develop and practice new skills to help you survive parenthood with your sense of self (and your sanity!) intact.
Parenthood Survival Guide
1
Recognize it’s not selfish to care for yourself. Many of us fear that if we focus on ourselves we will be neglecting our kids. Nothing could be farther from the truth. When you are well, you are much better able to care for others.
2
Clean out the junk. Identify what patterns and stories are cluttering your mind, making it impossible to see a different way to be. This is like a spring cleaning for your brain.
3
Create a clear picture. Start to see who you really are and the power of having a solid sense of self. We’ll figure out all the pieces to this puzzle and how to fit them together.
4
Lead your life and parent from a place of strength. Grounded in your unique wisdom, you move forward as a both a courageous individual and an awesome parent.
“Critical to my improvement”
[Suzanna] helped me to recognize that I was in a metaphoric hole and how deep it was. Then, [she] helped me figure out the tools I needed to use to climb out of said hole. [She] was willing to ask the hard questions and gently pushed me to come to terms with the reality of my thought processes. I believe this was critical to my improvement.

“I treat myself with more kindness”
I declined the job I was unsure about and haven’t regretted it for a minute. I was able to request for a loan and purchase a new car I love thanks to that. We also moved out of the city to save to build our own home. I’ve been able to prioritize my university and have made huge advancements in my personal life. I took a break from living with my partner and we were able to work on what we needed to move back together in a healthier situation. I no longer have many of the insecurities I had when starting [coaching] and [I] treat myself with more kindness.

“Much more in tune with my body”
I am much more in tune with my body and how I am feeling. I am conscious of my active rest activities and signs of stress within my body. I’m finding new ways to track results besides apps (I’m working on being less app dependent!).
