Meet Sue Donnellan
Military Wife, Mom to Four Kids (including triplets) Entrepreneur & Author
“Sue has a knack for seeing through details and cutting to the heart of the matter with clarity and humor.”
Hello!
I’m Sue, a wife, mom of four, entrepreneur, author, once reluctant parent, and a reformed yeller. My journey into parenthood was not one of immediate grace but of learning, unlearning, and real transformation. Early on, I recognized that those with the most to learn often become the most impactful teachers. This realization fueled my two decades of dedicated work, during which I’ve had the privilege of mentoring hundreds of exhausted parents across the globe.
My approach to parenting, rooted in both personal and professional growth, led me to author the book, Secrets to Parenting Without Giving a F^ck. This work encapsulates my philosophy that effective parenting doesn’t have to involve conflict and stress but can be an experience of learning and love. Building on this, I created the Fight Free Parenting™ Course, alongside a variety of resources aimed at nurturing happy, harmonious families.
True success in parenting, for me, is measured not just during childhood — but in maintaining a joyful, respectful relationship with your children as they grow into adulthood. My mission is simple yet profound: to help parents and children enjoy being around each other, fostering connections that last a lifetime.
Welcome to a place where parenting is about connection, not perfection.
Parenting A-Ha Moments With Sue Donnellan
“Sue is the real deal when it comes to logical and common-sensed based parenting hacks.”
“It’s like having coffee with your best friend… or meeting for happy hour. Refreshing in its simplicity, Sue’s no-nonsense action plan to parenting will make you feel reenergized and ready to tackle the toughest of situations with the grace and patience of a sage grandparent. You will laugh your ass off, shake your head in amazement, and have these “ah ha” moments that will help you spark joy in your relationship with your children while providing them with strong roots and wings.”
“Sue has a wealth of parenting knowledge. She gave me advice on parenting issues for my infant all the way up to my high schooler. She has no nonsense, practical advice that is sensible and effective. She has done her research, and raised four children of her own, she knows her stuff! I value her matter-of-fact strategies and logical solutions. She is passionate about raising happy, healthy, and productive children in a world that doesn’t always make it easy for parents. I don’t think there is any issue she can’t handle!”
“Sue provides a simple framework for parenting in a way that empowers you as a parent and your kids, avoiding power struggles. But don’t let the simplicity fool you. Her advice is some of the most powerful parenting advice I’ve ever heard. In one day of reading and implementing her Letting Go of Control and Partnership modules, I shifted a lifetime pattern that didn’t serve me or my kids. We’re all so much happier.”
