The Empowered Parents Collective helps parents move from overwhelmed and frustrated to confident and empowered.

Does this sound familiar?

You want to raise kids who are independent, take responsibility for themselves, and are positioned for long-term success as adults.

But you frequently find yourself:

Feeling like your kids don’t listen to you
Nagging your kids to do simple tasks or chores
Frustrated by the tension your nagging creates in your relationship
Wishing you could find a balance between a close relationship with your kids and teaching them what they need to know

You appreciate reading about helpful parenting strategies (hopefully, among other places, on my site!). But it’s difficult to figure out how to apply what you read to your own experience.

And on top of it all, you’re so busy you barely have time to slow down and think.

I designed the Empowered Parents Collective to help.

Hi there!

I’m Kerry, the mother of two girls, ages 12 and 14.

Since first becoming a mother, I wanted to help my kids develop certain qualities and skills: independence, confidence, initiative, planning, problem-solving and more. I thought of this as making them into “self-sufficient kids.”

But I never felt I had the time to figure out how to do it right. That is, until I made it my job to do so.

In 2015, I launched my site, Self-Sufficient Kids.

Since then I’ve invested a lot of time digging into parenting research and writing about what I’ve learned – and at the same time, using it in my own parenting. I also became a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator to expand my ability to help others.

But recently I’ve realized that to really make progress, busy parents need more than just written wisdom. They need to be able to ask questions while they’re trying to apply new parenting strategies, incentives to do the necessary work, and a community of other like-minded parents to support and cheer them on.

That’s why I’ve launched the Empowered Parents Collective.

The Empowered Parents Collective is a members-only, interactive community that helps overwhelmed parents gain the confidence they need to take on parenting challenges and lead their kids towards a life of self-sufficiency.

Key features of the Empowered Parents Collective include:

Monthly Mini-
Masterclasses

I’ll run short, targeted lessons that allow us work together on specific topics. These lessons will be delivered via your choice of video, audio or written form along with worksheets and accountability.

A Virtual Community of Like-Minded Parents

We’ll respectfully support and cheer on each other in our progress as parents. I’ll be actively participating in this community.

Monthly Q & A
Sessions

Each month you’ll have the opportunity to ask me your burning parenting questions – whether they’re related to the monthly lesson or not. And don’t worry, questions can be anonymous!

Guest Speakers

I’ll conduct short but in-depth interviews of experts, looking at specific parenting topics so we can all learn more.

A Proven
Success Path

Years of parenting research shows there are valuable steps you can take to strengthen your relationship with your child and lead them towards a life of independence and self-sufficiency. I’ll teach you those steps.

Exclusive members-
only bonuses

As a member, you’ll receive exclusive bonuses such as discounts to my digital products and future classes.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m already overloaded with too much parenting advice. Won’t this just add to the overwhelm?

No! In fact, one very important goal I have for this community is to make it as easy as possible for you to access the exact advice you need when you need it, and most importantly, actually use it.

The monthly masterclasses will be as to-the-point as possible. These will be mini- lessons that you can digest in the medium that best suits you – video, audio or transcript.

My follow-up Q&A sessions will provide tailored answers to your exact questions – on the masterclass topic, or anything else!

These masterclasses and Q&As mean no more Google searches and binge reading, hoping you’ll find an answer to your pressing questions.

One other important aspect of the community will be using tools and tricks to make sure we really put into action what we learn and hold each other accountable when we want to progress.

Why should I join this community when I already receive your emails and read your blog?

I’m gratified by how many of you have said the emails and blog help. But many of you have also told me you want to move beyond passive reading and get direct support putting these parenting strategies into practice. That’s the added value I’m trying to create with the The Empowered Parents Collective community.

This community will be so much more than simply information. It will include coaching and support from me, answers to your specific parenting questions, fellowship within our virtual community, and accountability that simply isn’t possible through any other format.

All content within this membership is designed to provide support and education for parents. This membership, including office hours with me, does not replace the relationship between a therapist and client in a one-on-one setting with an individualized treatment plan. Please consult with a professional if you suspect any medical or developmental issues with your child.
