Emotional Pain
You don’t want to yell.
You don’t want to shut down.
You don’t want to lose it over the small stuff.

But some days, it just… happens.
And afterward, the guilt creeps in. The voice in your head says,

“Why can’t I just stay calm?”
“What is wrong with me?”
“I should know better by now.”

It’s not that you don’t love your kids.
It’s that you’re tired.

You’re overstimulated, emotionally spent, and constantly reacting to a thousand invisible triggers you can’t quite name.

Maybe you’ve tried mindset shifts.
Maybe you’ve tried breathing.
Maybe you’ve even worked on your parenting strategies — and yet, you still find yourself stuck in old patterns.

This program is for the part of you that wants to parent differently…
but feels hijacked by the part that just can’t keep it together.

Promise and Program Introduction

It’s time to stop white-knuckling your way through parenting.

Let’s get to the root of your reactivity — and gently, powerfully, rewire it.

The Awakening the Peaceful Parent Within Challenge is a 28-day emotional transformation designed to help you:

  • Understand the real reason you get triggered (spoiler: it’s not your child’s behaviour)
  • Break the cycle of guilt, overreaction, and regret
  • Learn how to regulate your emotions before they take over
  • Shift your thinking, nervous system, and self-worth — so peace becomes your default, not your effort

It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about becoming conscious. Present.
And finally feeling like you’re parenting as the version of you that you meant to be.

This program is now included in your PSC Membership — which also gives you access to 14+ other parenting and wellbeing programs, covering everything from temper outbursts and sibling rivalry to autism stress, postnatal recovery and emotional regulation.

What’s Inside 
(Week-by-Week Breakdown) ↴

Week 1: Meet the Old You — Understanding the Personality That’s Driving Your Stress

Before we can create change, we need to get honest about the emotional patterns we’ve been unconsciously repeating — the ones that create guilt, frustration, and reactivity on autopilot.

In Week One, we take a deep dive into your current subconscious identity — the thought-feeling-behaviour loops that have shaped how you parent, how you respond under pressure, and how you see your worth.

You’ll uncover:

  • Why your brain is reacting the way it does — even when your intentions are peaceful
  • How your early beliefs, upbringing, and repeated patterns have created a “default personality” that keeps you stuck
  • The neurological cycle of stress: how thoughts trigger emotions → emotions trigger actions → and the cycle repeats
  • The 4 dominant mental “lenses” that distort how you see parenting, control, failure, and self-worth
  • Why certain events feel so triggering — even when they’re objectively small
  • How to stop parenting from the past — and how to begin noticing your patterns in real time

🎧 Includes your Week One Video: “What Stops You From Being at Peace Already?”
📝 Homework: Track your own unconscious programs using the Emotions–Thoughts–Behaviours journaling framework.

By the end of Week One, you'll see your reactivity through a completely new lens — not as a flaw, but as a predictable (and changeable) response system that you've outgrown.

This week is all about awareness — because you can’t change what you don’t first understand.

Week 2: Rewiring Your Emotional State — From Thought Loops to Heart Coherence

This week is all about shifting from reactivity to regulation — not by trying to “think better thoughts,” but by understanding how your brain, body, and heart actually create your emotional state.

We go beyond traditional mindset tools and dive into the science of emotional patterning, heart-brain communication, and how to train your nervous system to access calm on purpose.

You’ll explore:

  • Why just “changing your thoughts” rarely works when you're already triggered
  • How your body and emotions respond before your rational mind can even step in
  • What’s really happening in your brain when you yell, snap, shut down, or overreact (hello, amygdala hijack!)
  • How emotional memories, sensory cues, and subconscious patterns reinforce your stress state
  • How to interrupt the stress loop by engaging a little-known but powerful internal ally: your heart

We introduce a game-changing emotional regulation technique from HeartMath®:

💗 The Heart Lock-In™ Technique — a three-step method to reset your emotional state, bring your nervous system into balance, and create “coherence” between your mind and body.

🧠 Coherence = less cortisol, better sleep, clearer thinking, and a calm presence that your children will feel, too.

🎧 Includes your Week Two Video: “A New (Scientific) Way to Awaken Peace Within You”
📝 Homework: Practice the Heart Lock-In daily and track your ability to shift into peace in real-life parenting moments.

By the end of Week Two, you won’t just “understand” peace — you’ll have started physically training your body to return to it.

Week 3: The TRACK Process — Moving from Overwhelm to Empowered Action

By now, you’ve built awareness of your reactive patterns and learned to regulate your emotional state. In Week Three, it’s time to move from insight to strategy.

We introduce the TRACK Process — a 5-step framework to help you unpack a challenging situation and create a clear, realistic action plan for moving forward with intention and peace.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify the “Box” you’re stuck in — a metaphor for the mental-emotional trap that keeps repeating in your parenting
  • Recognize the thoughts, emotions, triggers, and behaviours that reinforce this pattern
  • Reconnect with your personal values, needs, and desires so you can set real goals — not just escape pain
  • Shift your energy from focusing on what’s wrong to creating what’s possible
  • Build a bridge between where you are and where you want to be — using your own strengths, support systems, and inner wisdom
  • Create a solution-focused plan that’s flexible, achievable, and emotionally aligned

The TRACK acronym walks you through:

🧠 Thoughts – What am I thinking?
Reality – What is actually happening vs. the story I’m telling?
🎯 Aim – What do I truly want?
🧩 Choices – What are my options and resources?
📅 Know your plan – What’s the next step I can take, right now?

This isn’t just about parenting. You can use this process with any challenge — from relationship conflict and financial stress to self-worth issues and emotional overwhelm.

🎧 Includes your Week Three Video: “Time to Get Solution-Focused”
📝 Homework: Work through the TRACK process on a real-life issue and map your step-by-step plan to move forward with clarity.

By the end of Week Three, you’ll know how to pause, assess your reality, and move from reaction to response — with tools you can use for a lifetime.

Week 4: Letting Go, Living Now — Reclaiming Peace in the Present Moment

In Week Four, we bring together everything you’ve learned — and guide you into the only place peace can truly exist: the present moment.

This week is about liberation — releasing the emotional baggage, past narratives, and self-judgments that keep you stuck in old pain. Through deep self-reflection, powerful forgiveness practices, and everyday mindfulness, you’ll learn how to stop reliving the past… and start truly living now.

You’ll explore:

  • Why we stay emotionally attached to past pain — and how to let it go
  • The hidden ways past experiences can shape your reactions, identity, and stress patterns
  • The neuroscience of memory distortion — and how your body keeps reacting to stories that may not even be accurate anymore
  • How to forgive others and yourself using a step-by-step, self-compassionate process
  • Why mindfulness isn’t just a practice, but a gateway to joy, presence, and emotional freedom

You’ll also learn how to:

  • Stop telling painful stories that keep you locked in resentment or regret
  • Reframe old experiences using Reality-Based Thinking
  • Practice both passive (meditative) and active (real-life) mindfulness to return to peace throughout your day
  • Consciously experience your emotions in the body — without judgment, analysis, or suppression

🎧 Includes your Week Four Video: “Peace is ALWAYS in the Present Moment”
📝 Homework:

  • Follow the 3-Step Forgiveness Process
  • Use guided mindfulness exercises to train your brain to return to now
  • Reflect on the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours you want to embody moving forward

By the end of this week, you'll understand that peace isn't something you find — it’s something you allow. It’s always here, always available, the moment you stop clinging to what was and return to what is.
