Get Connected

The 12-Week Journey to Confident, Conscious Parenting.

Join us in this three-month Membership!

When you join Connected, you’ll reprogram the way you experience parenting, relationships and the everyday chaos of parenting.

Join the Waitlist

Connected is the expert-led, community-driven program designed exclusively for parents ready to move-on from the past and show-up for their kids.

This is not just another parenting course.

This is a total transformation.

This program takes you from being the reactive, yelling, shaming, guilty-feeling parent you learned how to be, to becoming the confident, calm and connected parent you always thought you’d be.

Yes, you’ll get ALL the evidence-based, science-backed education about you and your kids, but this is so much more! If reading the books and blogs were enough for you to change...If you could do this on your own, you would have done it already.

This is the Village You've Been Searching For

How It Works

Shortly after you signup, you'll get an email with an invitation to your Member portal. You can start the video modules and workbook immediately.

Start with our Welcome Call. Within 48 business hours of enrolling, I'll send you a link to my calendar where you'll sign up for a small group startup call. With a few members of the bigger group, we'll talk about your goals and the best way to reach them.
Schedule your Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP). Think of this as your 'nervous system reset'. It's like a shortcut to get you to a new baseline. The protocol is based on screening eligibility and requires additional time and financial commitment. There are limited seats for the SSP.
Get to Work with the Modules & Workbook; a video-series (you can consume it like a Netflix series) and companion workbook that will take 12 weeks to complete.
Attend our Connected Calls. These are our weekly community meetings. Each meeting will focus on that week's content. Connected members will get direct coaching from Jess, and ongoing support, feedback and practice from the community.

Connected Calls

These Members' only group meetings (Zoom) are where the magic happens. Each week, we dive deep into the content from the Modules & Workbooks to help you work through your personal barriers to reaching your goals. You'll get focused coaching from Jess along with feedback and support from the other members with insights you could never get on your own. This is a safe, engaged, authentic community of self-healing Cycle-Breakers who all have the same primary purpose...to be the parents our kids need us to be.
Safe and Sound Protocol

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a therapeutic intervention developed by Dr. Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory). The SSP is designed to help individuals regulate their nervous system and improve their social engagement skills by targeting the underlying mechanisms of stress and trauma.

In Connected, much of our nervous system education and practice is rooted in Dr. Porges' work, so it just makes sense that we'd use the in-practice method for these theories. The SSP is a non-invasive, listening intervention that stimulates the vagus nerve (think of it like exercise for your nervous system). It is effective in reducing stress, sound sensitivity, and the effects of overstimulation.

Overall, integrating the SSP with your work in Connected can help you feel more resilient, and more open to making these long-term changes. Only a limited number of seats are available. Connected members who are interested in the SSP will be screened for eligibility.

EXCLUDED POPULATIONS FOR SSP

The SSP is not approved for the following populations: People with Seizure disorder; People with Tinnitus; People diagnosed with BiPolar Disorder, Psychotic Disorder and people taking antipsychotic medications; People with conditions related to the structure of the ear such as ruptured eardrum, tubes, or stapedectomy; People with active or recent self-harm or thoughts of suicide.

The SSP may call for special and slower attention for those with complex developmental trauma, borderline personality, and hearing sensitivity conditions such as misophonia.
Self-Paced Video Lessons & Processing Workbook

The Modules and Workbooks are completely self-paced, though it is recommended you stay on track with the weekly assignments. The modules are divided into topics and named "Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, ...). This work isn't meant to be another item on your to-do list. And sometimes, it's really difficult emotional work, and we aren't always in the right place for that. Breaks are OK. Taking it slow is OK. Diving in intensively for a while is OK, too.

By the time you've completed the 12-Week Curriculum, you'll notice a lot more responsiveness and intentionality in your parenting, and a lot less reactivity.

The workbook guides you through integrating all of the new information you are learning in the video lessons and the Connected Calls. The workbook takes you on a journey of self-reflection, deepening your self-awareness and challenging your belief system with a series of journal prompts, questionnaires and practical action-items.

The curriculum is provided by Jai Institute for Parenting. The video modules are presented by Rebecca Lydon. You can learn more about the Jai Institute for Parenting here.
Community Support 24/7

Stay connected and accountable between meetings in our private, Members' only facebook group. You can ask questions about the course content, or post about concerns from your daily life at home. This is a structured, monitored platform where you can get real and know that the feedback you're getting is from true peers. Jess will also provide direct, text-based coaching in the group.

ARE YOU A CYCLE-BREAKER?

The Toxic Cycles

You were raised by yellers and now you can't seem to stop yelling. Shaming, avoiding, ignoring and shutting-down in response to your child are 'toxic cycles', as well.
You experienced abuse in your childhood, and now you're terrified that you're ruining your kids.
You want to change, but you are finding it next to impossible to override your impulsive reactions in the everyday chaos of parenting.

You want to give your kids the connection they need from you, but you've realized there's something in the way and you're not available.
You find yourself at a loss on how to set boundaries, discipline and provide structure.
You don't trust your own parenting choices and lack a sense of direction in how you manage your relationships with your kids.

I've already read the books and blogs. I'm in all the FB groups. I've googled every parenting style possible. ...I'm still struggling.

Yes, that's because there's a huge difference between knowing the things and actually doing the things. This Membership closes that gap. Yelling, screaming, and constant chaos were everything you wanted to avoid. And here you are, buried in a mess of crazy you can't seem to get out of.

You'll do the work of unlearning what your parents taught you. You'll get the education on what your kids really need. As a result, you'll start making changes at your core and create stability in your home.

I'm afraid I've ruined my kids already, our situation keeps getting worse and worse.

After family struggles and breakdowns in the relationship, kids need to feel comforted and you're the best person for the job. Even if you've never received that support, you can certainly learn to provide it for your child.

Be the calm...not the storm.

You’re going to learn how to set the tone for everyone in the home...in a good way.

CONFIDENCE. Yes, real confidence. Wake up each morning knowing that you can manage the everyday chaos of parenting and show-up for your kids.

Research shows that early childhood experiences are the #1 predictor of a person’s success in life. And that the MOST important early childhood experience is the quality of connection between a child and their primary grown-up.

Bennett

I help parents find the calm and confidence they need to connect with their children…And thrive in overcoming their own difficult childhood histories.

You may be feeling as though you’re repeating the same mistakes your parents made. Maybe you swore you’d never do what was done to you. And yet, you find yourself behaving in ways you can’t seem to control.

Yelling, screaming, shutting-down, criticizing and avoiding are the most common outlets for one’s own childhood trauma grabbing the wheel and making all of the decisions.

My job is to help you regain control and be the intentional, responsive parent you needed when you were a kid...the same one your own kids need today.

I’m Jess- Parent Educator and Master’s Level Licensed Therapist that has come to specialize in helping Moms+Dads overcome the childhood trauma wounds that keep them from being the parents they were meant to be.

I have spent the last 10 years as a therapist helping my clients heal their wounds of childhood attachment trauma. Now, my mission is to help you prevent passing those wounds on to your own children.

Join us in the Membership. I recommend you stay for 10-12 months. Remember, this isn’t a quick fix or a set of scripts to memorize. This is a total transformation of how you engage in the most important relationship of your life. And that takes TIME.
