Whether you're struggling daily with your boss baby or just want to practice your new skills — you shouldn't have to figure this out alone.

Is this you?:

  • You know what to do in theory — but when your little Spicy One is having a meltdown in Target, your stress makes you forget every parenting tool you've learned.

  • Your child's tantrums are so intense they leave you feeling defeated and questioning everything you thought you knew about being a good parent.

  • Every simple thing becomes a battle — getting dressed, leaving the house, bedtime — and you're exhausted from the constant power struggles.

  • You're slipping back into old patterns — without regular check-ins, your parenting autopilot takes over and you find yourself yelling just like your own mother did.

  • Other parents judge your child's big emotions or your gentle approach, making playdates and school pickup feel lonely and isolating.

  • You worry about their future — will they be able to make friends, follow classroom rules, or will their intensity always be seen as "bad behavior"?

  • Siblings are suffering from the chaos, and you feel guilty that your Spicy One's needs take over family life.

Why I Created Spicy One Society

When my kids were younger, managing my strong-willed Spicy One felt like handling nuclear material. That kid could power an entire country or explode like an atomic bomb — often depending on my parenting choices. My worst season started when my children were 4 and 2. I was outnumbered and angry at my Spicy One. Every transition was a battle — car seats, leaving the park, putting on shoes.

I felt like a failure because gentle parenting wasn't working the way the books said it should. Without a mentor to challenge me, I would slip back into autopilot and start yelling again. I desperately needed someone checking in on the relationship I was building during these crucial early years.

That's why I created Spicy Ones Society. Ongoing support changes everything. Plus you'll get 50% off all my classes to build your toolkit. It's not about being perfect — it's about having other parents in your corner who understand that your little one's "difficult" behavior is actually their superpower learning to emerge.

What Parents Are Saying

“My husband and I had a big, nice discussion tonight about how I haven’t done a lot of the things I wanted to while being unemployed, but he did say I have been way more patient with my 4yo daughter SO and we’ve been much better friends and he said that’s the most important thing and I agree and told him it was really nice to hear. I’m telling you this because it’s A LOT to do with you and your guidance and teachings and CARE that I could get here.. thank you!” 

—Kelsey
