A letter to MY kids about parent coaching

Dear Tate, Toby & Delaney,

I’ve never written a book (yet), but if starting a parent coaching business is like writing a book, and it feels like it might be, I think it would deserve this dedication on the front page:



This business is dedicated to my 3 fabulous, unique, extroverted, introverted, challenging, spicy, sparkly, creative, hilarious, strong, sensitive, brilliant, & perfectly imperfect children…and their children, and their children’s children, & all the generations to come: 



I see you. I hear you. I’m here to comfort you. I accept you. I will protect you. You can count on me. You are safe with me. I’m praying for you. I love you no matter what. I’m sorry for the mistakes I made that hurt your little selves. I'm sorry I ever made you feel anything other than safe with me. I wish I could magically go back & do better. Thank you for allowing me a do-over to do better since then. (& more gratitude for all the do-overs both ways between us so far & the do-overs to come.) 



Thank you for helping me learn, grow & heal. I couldn’t do any of this without you. I’m dedicated to repair & building a lasting connection with you because you are worth it! You matter so much to me. I love you each so much - just as you are. Our relationship is so valuable to me. You are each God’s gifts to me. Life is messy & challenging & we are all imperfect humans. I’m so grateful we have each other on this journey. 



I’m so proud of each of you & beyond proud to be your mom. You are simply delightful. 



So much love & so many blessings, 

Mom



P.S. My commitment to you, my 3 children, in this job is this: to honor you. I will not disparage or disrespect you as I share parts of our journey with the world. Thank you for giving me permission to be authentic. Sharing stories matters. Vulnerability opens the door for healing. If I ever share something that’s not in alignment with this commitment, please let me know. I'll apologize & repair, like we do. Love you always and no matter what.❤️❤️❤️
