Hey There!

Welcome to my blog about mindful and conscious parenting! I’m so excited to have you here.

My name is Courtney, and I’m a mid-30s mom to two incredible twin boys. Growing up as an only child, I spent a lot of time around adults, which made me feel like an old soul. Making friends with other kids wasn’t always easy, and I worried that I might not know how to be a good parent. But here I am, learning and growing every day!

When my boys were born, they opened up a whole new world for me. They brought out all sorts of past experiences and emotions I didn’t even know I had. Those first few years were all about digging deep and figuring out how to be the best parent I could be. I knew I didn’t want to raise my kids the way I was disciplined as a child, with spankings and other punitive methods. My parents did the best they could with what they knew, but I wanted to do better.

So, I dived headfirst into learning everything I could about how kids’ brains develop, why they do the things they do, and how I could support them in becoming empathetic, emotionally intelligent individuals. I wanted to raise men who are in touch with their emotions and can express them in healthy ways, especially in their interactions with women.

Parenting is such a wild ride! It’s not just about surviving the “terrible twos” but also the challenging threes, fours, and fives. As kids grow, they start to mirror our own behaviors and push all the buttons we didn’t even know we had. It can be tough to keep calm and mindful, but it’s so worth it.

Through mindful and conscious parenting, I’ve found ways to create a home filled with open communication and understanding. It’s a constant journey of learning, but every step makes a difference. This blog is my way of sharing what I’ve learned and what has worked for me, in hopes that it can help other parents out there.

Here, you’ll find real-life examples, practical strategies, and a whole lot of enthusiasm for mindful parenting. I’m passionate about the brain, psychology, and how our family dynamics work together like a beautiful, complex puzzle. If my experiences and insights can help even one person, it’ll all be worth it.

Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey. Let’s learn and grow together as we navigate the world of mindful and conscious parenting!

With love and excitement,

Courtney
