Welcome!
Welcome. I’m really glad you’re here!
This community is designed to support you, not overwhelm you. You don’t need to use every space or keep up with everything you see. Think of this as a shared home where different programs live under one roof.
Here’s how this space is organized.:
Circles:  Each circle is connected to a specific program or service. If you’re part of more than one program, you’ll see more than one circle in the left-hand menu. That’s normal.
For example, if you’re enrolled in both Mentor Mom Academy and Big Picture Parenting, you’ll see a circle for each one. You’re not expected to follow or participate in everything at once. Focus on the circle that matches what you’re working on right now.
Inside each circle, you’ll find prompts, conversations, and guidance related to that program.
Meetups:  Meetups are live sessions held inside the various circles. These may include Q&A calls, coaching conversations, or guided support tied to a specific program. You can join meetups for your circles live or watch the replay later. There’s nothing you need to prepare ahead of time.
Challenges:  Challenges are optional invitations connected to a specific program or theme. They’re meant to support growth without pressure. You can participate fully, partially, or not at all. Skipping a challenge never puts you behind.
A few important things to know
- Seeing more than one circle just means you have access to more than one program
- You don’t need to read or participate in everything
- Quiet participation is always okay
- You’re never behind
- If you feel unsure, start in the circle related to your current program
This space is meant to meet you where you are. Take what supports you. Leave the rest. You’re always welcome here.

What's New
A February Note from Jill 🌿Â
Hi everyone,
February tends to be an interesting month for families. The new year motivation has worn off. The days can still feel long. Routines feel heavy. And a lot of parents start noticing something quietly building in their homes — big emotions, short fuses, more meltdowns, more reactivity.
If that’s happening for you, I want to gently say this:
It’s not a parenting failure.
And it’s not just a “behavior problem.”
Most of the time, what we’re seeing this time of year is nervous system fatigue.
Kids have been holding it together through transitions, holidays, school rhythms, weather changes, schedule shifts. And when their systems get overloaded, the behavior gets louder.
The same is true for us.
When your child melts down over the wrong cup or explodes at bedtime, your body reacts too. Your heart rate shifts. Your breathing changes. You feel urgency rise. And suddenly it’s not just their nervous system in the room — it’s yours, too.
This month inside the community, we’re slowing this down.
We’re focusing on:
• What big emotions are actually telling us
• Why escalation happens so quickly
• How to stabilize your own nervous system first
• And how regulation changes everything before strategy even begins
You don’t need more scripts.
You don’t need more consequences.
You need clarity about what’s happening underneath.
When you understand the nervous system, you stop taking behavior personally. Â When you stabilize yourself, your child stabilizes faster.
When you respond instead of react, everything shifts.
That’s what we’re building here.
Calm doesn’t come from controlling behavior.
It comes from understanding it.
Let’s slow this month down together.
– Jill
February Insight: Big Emotions Are Driving the Conversation
In January, one theme showed up again and again in conversations, comments, and questions:
Parents are overwhelmed by big emotions — their child’s and their own.
What stood out wasn’t just frustration about behavior.  It was confusion about why traditional strategies aren’t working.
Many parents are doing “the right things.”
They’re staying consistent.
They’re using scripts.
They’re setting boundaries.
And yet escalation is still happening.
Here’s the pattern we’re seeing:
When nervous systems are dysregulated, strategies lose their power.
A dysregulated child cannot access reasoning.
A dysregulated parent cannot access patience.
When both systems are activated, even small moments feel explosive.
This tells us something important:
Parents don’t need more behavior tools first.
They need stabilization and understanding.
When parents understand:
• What triggers activation
• How stress accumulates
• Why meltdowns spike at certain times of day
• How co-regulation actually works
They feel less reactive. And behavior becomes more predictable and manageable.
This insight is shaping our focus moving forward.
Instead of adding more techniques, we’re going deeper into nervous system foundations — because calm parenting is not about control.
It’s about regulation.
And regulation changes everything.
