Slight Breakthrough
Now that the first layer of communication has opened with my daughter and I , even thought it's been superficial. This past Sunday, she shared that she has been precepting a student who is studying to be a echo tech like herself. She said, Mom it makes me very anxious to do my work and teach her, it gets me off track. I listened . Told her I understood. Shared with her a recent experience I had with a new nurse I was precepting, and I got nervous too because we were busy.

Hi Doria- how did you get the first layer of communication started? I still haven't told my son I'm doing this course.

@Cara Krashin I considered sending him a card for Mother's Day with some words re starting work to be a better parent/person. I feel like I've procrastinated too long to do that now but may tell him on a Mother's Day phone call.
Addressing 2.2 Module Journal and Lies
@Amy Eudaley you mentioned HOPE Coach- can you tell us what that is? @Catherine Hickem -Can you elaborate on responses for our journaling in Module 2.2 to address the "lies" we hear in our own voices about ourselves.

@Catherine Hickem never given that option. I'd be interested in that.

@Catherine Hickem Defensive- yes. Unloveable a little- some people make me feel loved, others not so much.
PACT Tech Guide for members 💛
Hello everyone! Many of you have asked great questions about how to get the most out of the program, so I've put together a Tech Quick-Start Guide just for you. This PDF includes four short video walkthroughs (each just 1–3 minutes) that cover the basics of our community: how to connect with other parents, find your way around the classroom, check the calendar, and join your weekly classes and office hours. It also has a friendly Zoom section that walks you through the buttons and features beyond just joining a call — things like muting your microphone, raising your hand, using the chat, and changing your view. Download it, print it if you like, and keep it nearby. There's no need to memorize anything — this is here for you to peek at whenever you need. Questions? Drop them in the comments or message me directly! 💛

I feel like these screen shots do not match the platform that the talk was in today. Has the platform been changed? Is there troubleshooting on what to do if no volume on talk (despite computer volume being on) and others hearing Catherine speak? I ended up having to leave the room and server and resign in. In the past, we could be in the room ahead of time and chat amongst ourselves while waiting for Catherine (that platform matches your pdf). I'm wondering if I am in the room before Catherine now if it kicks in her image but not her sound. Can the room be opened up 10-15 minutes before the class starts to accommodate this and would also give people time to make sure sound is working prior to Catherine beginning? This would help immensely!

@Catherine Hickem Is this possible for you to do?
🎉🔥 BIG WAVE OF NEW FACES — LET’S WELCOME THEM IN! 🎉🔥
We’ve had a powerful group of parents step into this work recently, and I want to take a moment to properly welcome you all in 👇 @Karla Comberiate , @Chris Roach , @Joanne Zecher , @Esther Levandoski , @Gayle Carlson , @Jerri Higgins , @Carolyn Topness , @Holly Gordon , @James Corbett , @Amy Eudaley You didn’t end up here by accident. Every single one of you made a decision that most parents avoid — to stop guessing, stop carrying this alone, and actually do something about the relationship with your child. That takes courage. Period. This community is different. You’ll be supported, challenged, and guided — but only if you lean in 😊 So here’s where I want to start: 👉 Drop a comment below and share your name + where you’re from 👉 And if you’re open to it, what made you say “enough is enough”? And for everyone already in the community —Let’s show up and welcome them all in! 👇

Hi, I've been a member for two months or so...maybe another Chris got missed? Regardless, welcome new members, you will feel at home and feel heard!
How to reconnect?
Here’s a question. When we “let go” where (how) do we now connect”?

@Lisa Hatchett Did you see the outline Catherine supplied about writing a letter or watch the Discussion from 3/19/26? She went over how our best intentions will be misconstrued if we try to "explain" ourselves and why we did what we did. Highly recommend watching it. There has even been some talk about us posting our "intended" letter to our child on this site for feedback on what we should change so it is heard from our heart and not our defense.

@Karla Comberiate Can I ask if your "son" transitioned from your daughter or the other way around? It must be difficult for both of you with this change but inside of him/her he/she is the same person, just a more authentic one. I cannot imagine for you or for him/her the adjustments that must take but know that if love is central that you both will get through this.
