I’m leading a Parenting Through Divorce series with PARENTED this spring. This 4 week series helps you learn how to set you and your children up for success as you navigate the tricky world of divorce. We will go through co-parenting best practices, how to best support your children and share experiences to help grow your confidence and your community. We meet every other week from April 9th – May 21st. You may register for Parenting Through Divorce below.
Here’s what some of the parents have to said about events they have attended:
I was amazed at how much we covered in 1 session! So many practical tips. I feel so much better about my parenting toolkit now!
Mother of 2
It was great. I could have listened longer. It made us feel less alone and gave a lot of new tools.
Mother of 2
I loved the combination of basic understanding AND skills. I learned specific, situation based skills that I can apply TODAY!
Father of 2
It was a valuable overview of a complex topic with tips that will stick with me. It was easy to understand with real life examples and answering specific questions.
Mother of 2
Lots of practical take aways that can be easily implemented. Jen gave great examples.
Mother of 2
Jen was fantastic! I would love to sign up for another group session with her.

Past Speaking Events
Connecting with Older Orchid Kids
Do you have a child that requires “more”?
I joined Gabriele Nicolet from Raising Orchid Kids to talk about how parents can help their older child or teen when they have neurodiversity such as autism or ADHD. We discussed creating connection and practical parenting tools you can use.
Risky Play is Important for Children
Recent play research is making another case for the importance of free play, particularly risky play. I talked with reported Mary McGuire from Fox 9 News about why risky play is important for children both from a development standpoint and for supporting things like resiliency, independence and learning.
Not Being Society’s Child
Jude Morrow with Neurodiversity Training International and I came together to talk about parent coaching for parents of neurodivergent kids.
We talked parenting challenges, the need for different parenting tools when your child is neurodivergent and helping society overall learn more about how to help neurodivergent kids thrive.
Helping Kids With Graphic Images on Social Media
Wondering how to protect your child from graphic and disturbing images on social media? I sat down and talked with KSTP-TV Channel 5 reporter Brittney Ermon about ways parents can help their children process graphic images in an age when access to inappropriate images is the norm.
Helping Young Children With Anxiety
Anxiety in young children can look like many difficult behaviors. If your preschooler, toddler or infant is showing signs of anxiety, this hour long parenting talk is for you. This talk covers what is normal, what anxiety looks like in young children and how you can help your young child manage their anxiety.
