Recently, we had the privilege of interviewing one of the incredible mums who joined The Leadership Method – Coaching Edition. She joined us from Canada, which meant our live coaching sessions began at 4am PST for her.
Her commitment to show up, week after week, speaks volumes. Something inside her knew it was the right time.
As she put it so beautifully:
“It has had a profound ripple effect in just so many ways.”
This wasn’t just a programme for her. It was the beginning of a journey of self-discovery, a journey of noticing her own patterns and programming, and understanding how they had shaped her children, particularly her third child.
She’s a seasoned mum. Her eldest is 21. A true veteran in the mothering space. And yet, she shared so openly what many of us quietly know to be true:
There is always more to learn as parents.
Because children, especially our highly sensitive ones, are often our greatest teachers, if we’re willing to be open. Vulnerable. Honest enough to listen.
She reflected that three years ago, she simply wasn’t ready to do this work. And now?
She’s deeply grateful that she is.
It Was Never About Fixing the Children
One of the things she loved most about the programme was its deep focus on mums.
“What I loved most is that the programme was so mother-centred. It wasn’t about fixing the kids at all.”
This realisation was transformational.
“It completely reframed things, this isn’t about my child being broken. It starts with us as parents.”
Or as she summed it up so powerfully:
“This work changes everything, starting with the parent.”
In the sessions, mums showed up with children of all ages. With diagnoses, without diagnoses. With wildly different stories.
And yet, beneath it all, there was one powerful common thread:
None of them had ever been taught emotional regulation.
The Power of Group Work
The connection with other mums became a cornerstone of her experience.
“The connection with the other mums was incredibly helpful.”
“Even though everyone’s situation was different, it wasn’t really about the details, the root was the same.”
“There’s such loneliness in this kind of parenting, and this made me realise I’m not alone.”
“It didn’t matter that our children were different ages, the insights were powerful across all of us.”
When children derail, it can leave parents feeling shattered. Overwhelmed. Questioning everything.
We explore what’s really happening beneath big emotions and extreme behaviour.
We learn how to understand emotions, express them, own them, model them, and communicate them safely.
And something shifts.
“It helped me be much more honest about how I’m feeling and that changed how my son responded to me.”
“This work helped me understand emotions in a way I never had before.”
“This helped me understand my child by understanding myself.”
Reparenting Ourselves, So Our Children Can Follow
Often, the work begins with reparenting ourselves.
When we go first, our children follow.
They learn that emotions aren’t dangerous.
That they don’t need to be scared of being seen.
That it’s safe to share who they really are.
And the results?
More connection.
More joy.
More hope.
“Once the connection comes back, everything else becomes possible.”
“One of the biggest shifts is that I’m getting more hugs from my son, real hugs, not the shoulder-pat ones.”
“He actually said to me, ‘I noticed you’re trying to do something different.’ That was huge.”
Our children take us on a journey we never expected.
And when we find the internal capacity to ride that journey with them, to simply find a different way to respond, rather than resist, everything begins to change.
And sometimes, it starts with simply saying:
I’m ready now.
