What You'll Learn
It's not about being stricter. It's about showing up the same way every time so your child knows exactly what to expect from you. This is what builds cooperation over time.
Your child's nervous system is taking its cues from yours. I'll show you how to regulate yourself in the hard moments so you can lead instead of react — and teach your child to do the same.
Spirited kids aren't defiant for no reason. When you understand what's actually driving the behavior, everything shifts. You'll stop taking it personally and start responding with confidence.

Imagine six months from now...
You're not bracing every time your child walks in the room. You're not replaying the day's blowups at 11pm wondering what you could have done differently. You know how to respond — and more importantly, you feel good about how you showed up, regardless of how your child behaved.
Your child is still spirited. Still intense. Still fully themselves. But something has shifted. They're more flexible. The battles are fewer. And the connection you've been missing? It's coming back — slowly, steadily, in the small moments you almost stopped believing were possible.
That's what this work does. It doesn't magically make your child perfect. Rather, it'll help you become the parent who knows exactly what to do with the one they have.

Her strategies for my spirited child have been a game-changer! Instead of daily power struggles, we're now seeing more cooperation and connection. I finally feel confident as a parent.
Kirsten just gets it. She knows what it’s like to raise intense kids and offers ideas I’d never thought of before.
Kirsten's Thriving Together community saved me during some HARD months. The workshops were so easy to follow, and it felt like having a friend explain everything step by step.
"I can't believe we went from combative to cooperative so fast!"
Having a 1:1 coaching call got us back on track and gave us a blueprint on how to respond to backtalk and hitting. A month later, we are in a much better place as a family.
"Her down-to-earth advice and support made all the difference!"
This Workshop Is NOT For You If:
Your child tolerates frustration easily, shrugs off disappointment, and generally goes with the flow.
This was built specifically for the parent of a child who feels everything intensely — and needs a parent who knows how to meet them there.
If that's your kid, you're in the right place.

Certified parent coach, m.ed education, mom of 3 wild ones, and your go-to guide for all things spirited kids and tough parenting moments.
I know just how tough parenting spirited kids can be—from the 'am I handling this right?' moments to the endless battles over intense feelings and pushing boundaries.
My goal is to take the pressure off and give you practical tools and support that work for your child's unique temperament. Because every parent deserves to feel confident and enjoy their child—no matter how challenging the journey.
Hey there, I'm Kirsten.
