I went from a confused mom 😢 to a confident mom 😊 because of one decision.

That one decision is ⤵️

I decided to study the 4️⃣ parenting styles

And apply the recommended style to my own parenting.

——

I always encourage my students to practice evidence-based thinking.

I realized I wanted to do the same as a parent:

👉 Let research guide my choices, alongside understanding my own children.

Learning about the four parenting styles gave me confidence and conviction in my words, actions, and decisions.

Here are the four styles:

🔹 Authoritarian
✅ Authoritative (The approach I aim to practice)
🔹 Permissive
🔹 Uninvolved

Watch the video to understand the differences.

——

Am I perfect at always following authoritative parenting?

Absolutely not.

I make mistakes.
I lose patience.

I sometimes respond in ways I later wish I hadn’t.

But having a clear approach to return to has brought peace in my heart. ❤️

I’m learning to become better at it day by day.

——

Which style do you find yourself using most often?

Comment “parenting” below, and I’ll send you a visual of the four parenting styles. ⤵️

I have been working on an exciting project for fencers to help them win the mental game and stay focused during competitions.

I don’t see anything like this in the marketplace.

Super excited!

Can’t wait to share my first prototype with you!

One of the best and craziest decisions I’ve ever made as a mom was to our kids. ❤️

Homeschooling has given me the opportunity to get to know each of them more deeply, such as their personalities, strengths, challenges, and what makes them come alive.

This year, we joined a new homeschooling community, and we’re loving it!

Feeling so blessed to have the opportunity to homeschool our kids and grow alongside them. ❤️

🚀 Ready to end 2026 strong?

Welcome to the final quarter of 2026. 🍂

——

We have 9️⃣2️⃣ days left in the year.

That’s 9️⃣2️⃣ days to reflect, reset, and move forward with intention.

——

Every quarter, I use my tried-and-tested 4-C Reset and Planning System with myself, my kids, and my students.

It helps us reflect on what’s working, learn from what isn’t, and create a clear plan for what comes next.

——

Q4 planning is nonnegotiable for me.

Because how we finish this year shapes the momentum we carry into the next.

——

Here’s what I tell my students:

👉 A strong new year doesn’t start on January 1

👉 It starts with the quarter before

🎯 Use these next 92 days to build that foundation.

Sports parents, watching our kids compete can be an emotionally intense experience.

I’ve been there hundreds of times. ❤️

The nerves.
The excitement.
The disappointment when things don’t go their way.

——

Here are 5️⃣ questions I ask myself, my own kids, and the I coach to help us process those emotions and shift into learning mode.

Watch this video here to take a screenshot of the five 5️⃣ questions

Or comment “questions” below and I will send the questions to you ⤵️

——

Wins and losses are part of sports.

They both are unavoidable.

And sometimes, a loss can be our best teacher, if we take the time to learn from it.

These 5️⃣ questions can help you turn every emotional experience into a positive learning experience

Hard work alone doesn’t lead to .

You can work incredibly hard

But if you’re working on the wrong things or moving in the wrong direction, you still may not achieve your goals. 😢

——

That’s why one of the keys to mastery and excellence is deliberate practice.

In his book Peak, Anders Ericsson explains 4️⃣ core elements of deliberate practice.

I apply these principles in my own work to continually improve my craft and pursue excellence.

——

I also coach these four elements with my students—especially student athletes—because working harder isn’t always the answer.

Sometimes, you need to practice better.

——

In my previous video, I shared this idea:

❌ Practice doesn’t make perfect.
✅ Practice makes permanent.

So if you want to improve your performance and reach your goals, don’t just practice more.

Practice deliberately.

——

Share this with a student athlete or anyone who is working hard to pursue a meaningful goal and reach excellence.

——

09/24/2026

Conventional wisdom about practice is wrong.

❌ Practice does NOT make perfect.

✅ Practice only makes permanent.

——

If you have a child who is a and they practice every day but still aren’t reaching their goals…

The problem may not be how much they practice.

It may be how they practice.

Because practicing the wrong way only reinforces the same mistakes.

——

To reach their athletic goals, they need one specific type of practice:

👉 Deliberate practice.

And this isn’t just for athletes.

Deliberate practice is something I engage in every day to improve my own craft, close my skill gaps, and achieve my goals.

——

In my next video, I’ll break down the 4️⃣ key components of deliberate practice and show you how to apply them to training.

I was trying to record some content yesterday…

And then this happened. 🥹❤️

Tears 😭 of pure joy.

Being a mom is hands down one of the most challenging and most rewarding jobs I’ve ever had.

Moments like this remind me what really matters. ❤️

43 pages! ❤️

Here’s a sneak peek at a coaching summary I created for one of my students.

Over the course of our work together, we covered confidence, motivation, mindset, peak performance, neuroscience, and so much more.

I ❤️ creating these summaries for my students because they give us a chance to look back and see just how far they’ve come—and how much progress can happen in a relatively short period of time.

Change is never easy.

And changing ourselves—our habits, beliefs, mindset, and behaviors—is often the hardest kind of change.

That’s why I have so much respect for my students.

They keep showing up.

They keep doing the work.

They keep challenging themselves, even when it’s uncomfortable.

And little by little, they’re becoming more confident, resilient, self-aware, and capable versions of themselves.

I ❤️ my students for continuing to show up and do the hard work of becoming the best version of who they can be.

For the first time, I'm opening my training for to the public.

Resilience is the invisible weapon that sets your athlete apart from their competitors.

——

Talent, skill, and training matter — but they're only half the battle.

Because an athlete only reaches their biggest goals when they can command the mind behind the performance, not just the skill.

——

It took me years to understand the importance of resilience.

And I paid a heavy price for the lack of it.

——

When I was in high school, I was fighting a battle no one could see. 😢

An eating disorder that quietly ran my life.

For a long time, I pointed at everything around me.

I blamed my school, my peers, and my parents for my mental health challenges.

Looking back, I've come to see that while many factors were outside my control,

I still had to take ownership of what was within it, aka, my thoughts, my responses, my choices, and how I moved forward.

——

🦋 That shift changed the trajectory of my life.

Two decades later — as a former professor, a TEDx speaker, and an award-winning coach to high-achieving teens and young adults — I teach that same skill to student athletes.

——

Talent gets your child to the competition.

Skill gets them into the game.

But under real pressure, what separates the athletes who rise from the ones who quietly check out isn't talent.

👉 It's resilience.

——

Because performance doesn't break in one place.

It breaks in three: mindset, skillset, and identity.

Resilience is the thread that runs through all three

——

❌ Resilience is not a personality trait that only a few can have

✅ Resilience is a skill that EVERYONE can be trained to develop

——

If your athlete has the talent and the training but chokes when it matters most, resilience is the missing piece.
