I’m Happy You’re Here

Hi, I’m Sue, a 25+ year parenting strategy coach.

If you’re stuck in a loop of yelling, power struggles, or watching your child spiral into behaviors you don’t know how to stop…whether it’s tantrums, screen addiction, bullying, or just plain tuning you out, I want you to know it’s all fixable. You don’t need a miracle, you just need a process. 

I help parents stop managing blowups and start using my Parenting in Advance™ Process, an upfront method of clear expectations, predictable follow-through, and no-yell techniques that hold under pressure.

My approach pairs big-picture strategy with everyday tools you’ll actually use, so you’re not chasing fires, you’re preventing them.

If you’ve been thinking, “I don’t know what else to do,” let’s talk. Book a free 30-minute consult, no pressure, just a real conversation and one step you can use tonight.

About me?
I’m a mom of four (including triplets), military wife, multi-entrepreneur, author and reformed yelling parent. I’ve lived the chaos, and I’ve led families out of it. Now I’d love to help you!

“Sue has provided me with many sage pieces of advice about parenting. Most important, she’s taught me how to keep the lines of communication open with my kids. She offers age-appropriate advice on ways to get my kids to talk to me and has taught me tricks on just how to respond so they keep talking to me. She’s made a huge difference in my parenting style.”

Melissa R

Mom of Triplets

“I wish I could keep Sue in my back pocket to always have her with me! Her insights and advice have helped me every time I’ve not known what to do with my kids. Her ideas are imaginative, real, and they work. With my three kids spread out in age, she has always had a great understanding of every age and phase. She has feedback no one else will tell you and delivers it in a most colourful, blunt, and honest way.”

“Sue has a knack for seeing through details and cutting to the heart of the matter with clarity and humor. She says what I need to hear, not mincing words, and I feel the truth of her insights in my heart. Her perspective and wisdom have helped my journey as a parent and deepened the relationship with my children, which is ultimately the most valuable asset of all.”
