Description

This week’s episode features Lesley, a mom whose parenting journey took some unexpected (and beautiful) turns. When she first joined the program, she was a single mom navigating intense meltdowns with her 5-year-old daughter—big emotions, hurtful words, and all the overwhelm that came with them.


Just days after deciding to join, life surprised her with an engagement—and suddenly, she was preparing not only to find more peace at home but also to blend a new family. Through the program, Lesley learned how to handle her daughter’s meltdowns with more connection, calm, and understanding, even as so much in her life was changing.


Her story is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t wait for the “perfect time.” Sometimes, it happens right in the middle of big transitions—and that’s exactly what makes it so transformative.
