Be The Mom You Really
Want To Be
You Didn’t Expect It
To Be This Hard…
Motherhood doesn’t have a manual. Or a warning label. And you may be experiencing anger, rage or an overwhelming feeling of not knowing how to actually parent the way you intended to. And you're left wondering what you’re doing wrong. The authoritarian methods many of us grew up with felt dysfunctional with the endless power struggles, control and fear based approaches. You don’t want the same disconnection and distant relationships for your children. But you didn’t expect it to be this hard.
When we parent without addressing our past, we are destined to repeat the painful patterns we experienced as children, no matter how badly we want to do it differently.

It’s Not Too Late to
Turn Things Around
Even if you feel stuck and like nothing is working, there is hope.
I know how hard it can be to believe there is truly another way. But I promise you there is. I’ve been there and have experienced the transformation in my home that I thought was impossible.
None of us start off knowing what to do. This is where the learned and modeled behaviors from our parents kick in. While we try to be the mom we want to be, reality hits as we watch as our idealistic imaginings get run over by the reality of our childhood, our daily life and the immense pressures of everything we have on our plate.
"I am so thankful for the weekly coaching calls I had with Ashley. I felt safe as I opened up and shared some of my parenting struggles. She listened with compassion and empathy. Her reflective listening with curiosity helped me to dig deeper as I work through struggles with being reactive.
She gave me action plans that were encouraging for me to accomplish between calls and that made a difference for me today. I really appreciated coaching with Ashley, I am seeing progress in my growth journey to become a more emotionally healthy and responsive Mom. Thank you Ashley."

Hi! I’m Ashley Friedland
Becoming a parenting coach was never part of my plan. But God had other plans. I struggled for years to become the mother I wanted to be to my 3 children. I took all the positive parenting courses, read all the books, got a therapist, took medications, did more courses and tried tirelessly to implement everything I was learning. My parenting toolbox was FULL.
Like many of you, I just needed my kids to behave and listen to me so I didn’t have to become a raging monster. But nothing seemed to work. I felt like I had to keep resorting back to screaming, threatening and punishing.
Then I finally found the right approach. And having a coach to guide me made all the difference. I was able to understand how to build a relationship with my children based on mutual safety, trust, and connection. Our home has since transformed in SO many ways. And I became deeply passionate about supporting other women in this life-changing work.
I know that you desperately want to be a loving, peaceful mother that has a meaningful connected relationship with your children. I’ve been there.
Now I’m here to guide and support
you
in getting there.
The traditional
approaches
to parenting
aren't working.
And now we have the science and research telling us why it doesn’t work and what does work.
Because we weren’t taught how to be the kind of parents most of us long to be, we end up slipping into the patterns that were ingrained in us in our own childhoods.
This is why when we connect, you will be met with understanding, a non-judgemental openness and a supportive, personalized, effective plan that I will personally guide you through every step of the way.
How It Works:
Let's connect. On a complimentary call we’ll talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what kind of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Let's Talk!
So you can start to make the shift you’re longing for because we all know when nothing changes, nothing changes.
Change is possible. This is the first step towards becoming the kind of mom you really want to be.
