For mums who want respectful kids who listen to them - but feel ignored no matter what they try.
I stopped SHOUTING and trying to 'FIX' my kids' behaviour ...
and now they actually listen without me repeating myself 10 times.
(All because I finally understood them and what they really needed from me.)
You've tried gentle parenting, Instagram tips and tricks, and every discipline strategy under the sun - but the defiance keeps coming, you end up shouting, and nothing works.
And then you do it all again the next day - with the added burden of mum guilt.
You’ve had enough and feel like you're failing - “I never wanted to be a shouty mum - what am I doing wrong?”.
That’s the hard way.
The guessing way.
The ‘try this and hope’ way.
Stop repeating what doesn't work for you.
Watch my mini course: The Empowered Parent Blueprint.
This course is specifically designed for parents of 2-6 year olds who are struggling with tantrums and defiance.
I'll show you:
➡️ Why you are stuck in the yelling cycle (and how to get out of it!)
➡️ What your child’s behaviour is really telling you
➡️ Why you keep losing your temper even when you swear you won’t (it's not your fault - I'll show you how to break the pattern)
➡️ The super simple shifts that help you handle tricky moments without bribes, shouting, or guilt.
... all in 5 simple videos (no fluff or empty advice - just clear, actionable, and easy to understand concepts you can start using straight away).
You don’t need more hacks.
You need a strategy.
One that helps you feel proud of being a mum - even on the hard days.
Ready to actually enjoy your kids
- not just feel exhausted by them?
This is where it starts.
Here's what other mums like you experienced:
Florence finally feels proud of the parent she’s becoming: Calm bedtimes, fewer power struggles, and way less shouting.
Sarah’s home feels calmer and more intentional: Clear boundaries, better behaviour, and fun family outings again.
Chloe said understanding her 6-year-old son’s brain changed everything: Fewer tantrums, smoother transitions, and peaceful mornings.
I had 2 under 2 ... and I was barely holding it together.
I’m Katie - mum of 2, parenting coach, former Paramedic with a psychology background.
My second child was born when my daughter was 16 months old. He struggled to breathe from day one.
At 11 weeks old, he had throat surgery.
My husband worked shifts.
I was breastfeeding round the clock, juggling a toddler, and constantly on edge.
And 4 hours unbroken sleep was a miracle for me!
I was exhausted.
I loved my kids, but I was stuck in reactive mode.
Everything felt like firefighting - sleep regressions, feeding problems, trying to give my toddler enough attention, dragging myself to toddler groups to feel less alone.
I was snappy, impatient, and reacting to everything.
A spill. A tantrum. A toy left out.
I didn’t want to be this mum.
The one who micromanages.
The one who feels ashamed lying in bed at night because I lost my temper again.
I wanted to enjoy my kids.
Be calm. Present.
But I had no idea how. And the guilt was crushing.
I saw it all as them pushing back and disrespecting me - when really, I was just too stuck in the yelling cycle to respond with anything other than frustration.
The worst part was I knew I wasn't being the mum I wanted to be. And I felt like I was letting myself and kids down.
I wasn’t guiding. I wasn’t leading.
I was just… reacting. Guessing.
My kids weren't trying to be difficult.
They were trying to connect.
But all they got was a mum who was constantly on edge.
I learnt the hard way that parenting isn't about control. It’s about trust and respect - both ways.
And I hated that because deep down, I wanted to love motherhood.
I wanted to feel proud of how I was raising them.
I wanted to feel close to them - not like I was always pushing them away with my tone, my sighs, my short fuse.
I felt like I was failing them.
And then I realised. I didn’t need to try harder.
My kids needed a LEADER.
Not a micromanager barking instructions.
Someone who understood them - their development, their triggers, their signals - and also understood herself.
A leader teaches, not punishes.
Guides, not controls.
Connects, not just corrects.
That’s when everything changed.
Because when I stopped blaming my kids for their ‘bad behaviour’ and started being curious about their big emotions I saw something I hadn’t seen before:
They didn’t need me to be perfect.
They needed clarity.
Consistency.
Connection.
When I started leading with intention instead of micromanaging with emotion ... things started to shift.
Not overnight (because they’re kids!).
But little by little, the atmosphere in our home changed.
The tantrums happened less often and passed more quickly.
My kids started listening. Not because they were scared or shut down, but because they felt heard.
And I felt more grounded in my home like I was finally leading with intention instead of impulsively reacting.
Bedtimes got easier with fewer battles and more cuddles.
Getting out the door in the morning wasn’t a frantic, shouty mess - we had a rhythm, and it worked.
Days out were actually fun again not just exhausting logistics wrapped in guilt.
I laughed more and let the little things go - I wasn’t snapping over every little thing.
Our house felt lighter.
There was more talking and laughter.
And slowly, my kids started learning how to express themselves too - not just with meltdowns, but with words.
We weren’t just surviving anymore.
We were finally living.
And when it doesn’t work? We blame ourselves.
It’s a scattergun approach.
No strategy.
No long-term thinking.
Just endless guessing and growing guilt.
You wonder why nothing’s working and why your kids don’t seem to respect you.
Deep down, you fear you’ve already messed it all up - and have no idea how to fix it.
So I created a different way ...
One that turns parenting into leadership and gives you a clear path forward. It's called the Empowered Parent Blueprint.
It’s based on four key steps:
✔️ Create a clear parenting vision so you know what kind of children you're trying to raise and how to lead them there.
✔️ Understand your child’s brain so their behaviour makes sense, and you know how to respond instead of react.
✔️ Understand yourself so you can break old patterns and stop parenting from autopilot.
✔️ Communicate with authority and connection so your kids trust your leadership, follow your boundaries, and actually feel safe in your presence.
Once I made these shifts, everything changed. And now I teach other parents how to do the same step by step, with no guesswork, no guilt, and no fluffy nonsense inside my Empowered Parent Blueprint.
From daily battles to bedtime peace:
How Florence transformed her home
When Florence joined the program, she was exhausted.
Every day felt like a battle - constant tantrums, constant yelling, and no idea how to break the cycle.
She’d tried books, tips, strategies… and still felt like she was failing.
But within weeks, things changed.
She stopped taking tantrums personally.
She stayed calm instead of snapping.
Her child started listening not out of fear, but because he finally felt connected.
Bedtimes were smoother. Mornings were calmer.
And Florence finally felt like the mum she wanted to be.
From power struggles to peaceful days out:
Sarah's breakthrough
When Sarah joined, she was stuck in the loop so many parents know too well: One minute ‘too soft,’ the next ‘too strict,’ and always feeling guilty.
Meltdowns were a daily battle, and family outings left her drained instead of joyful.
But once she shifted her mindset from managing behaviour to leading her child, everything changed:
She started parenting with intention - making decisions based on the adult she wanted to raise, not just surviving the moment.
Her son’s behaviour improved.
Home life felt lighter.
And Sarah finally felt calm, clear, and confident in how she set boundaries (without mum guilt).
“Parenting feels so much easier now - I finally have a clear framework.”
From constant shouting to calm transitions:
Chloe's shift
Chloe felt stuck in a cycle of daily meltdowns - getting dressed, leaving the park, mealtimes - all turned into a power struggle.
She’d tried timeouts, consequences, bribes… nothing worked.
But the problem wasn’t her child.
It was expecting emotional control from a brain that simply wasn’t ready.
Once Chloe understood that, everything softened.
She stopped feeling so triggered.
She stopped punishing and started co-regulating and the tantrums became shorter, less intense.
There were fewer meltdowns, more cooperation, and a whole lot more calm.
Two options. Both lead somewhere.
Only one feels right ...
Option 1: You keep doing what you have always done:
You try to stay calm.
You handle each meltdown as it comes.
You do your best with the tools you were given - the way you were raised, the things you've read, the tips you've saved on Instagram.
And let’s be clear: that’s not wrong.
Many parents take this path and figure things out eventually.
You love your kids. You’re doing your best. And that matters.
But it’s also the hard way - trial and error.
A slow grind of hoping things get better without really knowing how.
Option 2: You try something different:
You learn how to lead with calm authority and real connection.
You get curious about your child’s brain, your own patterns, and why you both behave the way you do.
You parent with a plan: one rooted in clarity not chaos.
This path doesn’t erase the hard moments but it makes them easier to navigate.
You stop guessing and shouting.
You finally start feeling like the parent you always wanted to be.
There’s no right option.
Just the way that brings out the best in you and your kids.
Pick one that feels good and go for it.
