I do what I do because I’ve seen what happens when children grow up in homes filled with yelling, fear, criticism, and disconnection, and I’ve also seen the incredible transformation that happens when calm, structure, fun and respect replaces chaos. I’m passionate about this work because kids don’t just “get over” how they were treated… they carry it into adulthood, relationships, and how they parent next. After more than 40 years of helping families, as a teacher, coach, and parenting expert, I know that cooperation isn’t about control… it’s about connection and mutual respect. My mission is to break generational cycles, strengthen families, and give parents simple tools that work in real life, so children grow up feeling safe, valued, and truly seen, just like we would like for ourselves. This is bigger than parenting tips, it’s generational change. We CAN raise kids who don’t have to recover from childhood, and create homes where violence is no longer normal.

Okay, you caught me. 😅 Remember that PSA @Shannon Boyer posted about the CLASSIFIEDS being a public group? The one where she explained that everything here is indexed by Google? Yeah... that was the setup. Because here's what I didn't tell you in the original workshop announcement: The workshop on January 30 is 100% about SEO for public Skool groups. It's about making your Skool posts discoverable. Getting your community found by people searching Google for what you offer. Understanding why some posts show up in search results and others disappear into the void. That's literally search engine optimization. But I didn't call it that in the announcement. And now you're probably wondering why. 🤫Here's why I kept it vague: If I had named it "SEO for Skool Workshop," here's what would've happened: Some of you would've thought: • "I already know SEO. This isn't for me." (and you'd miss how it applies specifically to Skool) • "SEO sounds too technical. I'm not ready for that." (even though this is beginner-friendly) • "I don't care about Google. I just want to network." (but you're missing organic growth opportunities) And ALL of those people would've disqualified themselves before even hearing what I have to share. So I called it "Make Your CLASSIFIEDS Posts Work Harder for You." Same workshop. Same valuable content. Just... less intimidating. More inclusive. But now the cat's out of the bag. 🐱 And honestly? I'm glad. Because after Shannon posted that PSA, I dropped this comment: > "And THIS is why you want to be at the workshop on January 30th!!!" Here's what this "SEO for Skool" workshop actually covers: ✅ How to make your Classifieds posts discoverable on Google (without feeling like a tech nerd) ✅ Why some posts get found by people searching for solutions weeks later—and others vanish ✅ What I have discovered from analyzing 100+ CLASSIFIEDS posts and rating them for discoverability

It's been awhile since I hosted a posting prompt party, so I thought this would be a great time to get all our new members involved as well as stir up some of you that are maybe feeling a bit uninspired. Starting on Monday, I will post a prompt for you to respond to. The party will culminate with a live meet up of the PERSONALS on Friday! 🎉 Rules of Engagement: 1. Have fun with it and don't overthink it! 2. Be careful about WHERE to post. I will let you know if you should post in the comments or in a new thread. 3. For every post you make, leave at least 2 comments on other people's posts. 4. Try to make thoughtful comments and/or ask questions. This is a great opportunity to build relationships and get to know each other - a crucial skill in business. Gifs are fun, but are not considered a comment by themselves. 😉 Are you up for it? Give me a sign in the comments below and then have a great weekend!
