About Wendy

As the host of The Fresh Start Family Show & Founder of Fresh Start Family, Wendy helps parents ditch the threats, yelling & harsh punishments so they can live life as a joyful & confident parent (with kids that listen & cooperate great).

I’m so happy you’re here to learn a bit more about me …

First things first … I’m a certified positive parenting educator & family life coach who’s helped thousands of parents transform their families, but it’s so important for you to know that I wasn’t always so positive in my parenting walk. 

A little over a decade ago, I was knee deep in despair & hopelessness, raising a strong willed daughter, while juggling a colicky newborn & a busy career.

I’ve used the same positive parenting & personal development / self-growth tools, I now teach – in my own life to overcome anxiety, strained relationships with my kids, stressed days and intense misbehaviors.

My goal is to make it easier for families like yours to get solid, positive, effective parenting education and stay consistent in growing WITH our kids along each stage of the journey.

Families who work with me expand their parenting toolkit & face each day with an empowered & creative mindset.

I absolutely love helping parents who struggle to find peace, joy, connection and ease in their days with their kids.

Parents who are honest about the fact that having kids and knowing what to do with them is the hardest job they’ve ever faced in their life!

I specialize in helping parents who desperately want to feel confident in their parenting approach and are totally over the guilt that comes at night after “losing their cool 15 times a day” (oh have I been there before!). 

I’m not JUST a parenting coach (and definitely not one of those teachers who will tell you everything you’re doing wrong & that you need to do better & be better), but I am ALSO a life coach, professional encourager, accountability consultant, podcast show host, online course creator, business owner & the kind of person who will always make you feel seen, heard & understood (I’ve had clients beg me to move in with them many times, offered to make bracelets that say “What would Wendy do?” and even had a Mom from the Ukraine name her baby after me! WHATTTT? … I know dude!).

I’ve been working with families as a parenting educator since 2010 & I’ve taught positive parenting workshops, seminars & courses to thousands of families all over the world. (Our Fresh Start Success Story / Testimonial Google Doc is now over 800 pages long!).

I Get it. I Get You.

YES, I’M THAT HELPER YOU’VE BEEN PRAYING FOR.

But here’s what you really need to know: 

I deeply care about each & every family I work with and am committed to getting you results. 

I’m a momma to two young wild & wonderful munchkins + a business owner, best friend to my husband, ocean feign, lover of spicy margaritas, bulletproof coffee & dark chocolate and obsessed with body-surfing and Jesus.

I’ve created a “pinch me, is this really my reality?” life where I get to help other families create the family of their dreams while also intentionally building my own dream family everyday. 

I spend my days feeling confident & powerful as a parent… while also being insanely close & connected to my kids – I want you to have that too.

I’m the founder & CEO of Fresh Start Family, an online worldwide educational positive parenting platform + host The Fresh Start Family Show, a feel good, helpful podcast for busy parents all about relationships & raising kids with integrity. 

My days are spent being a relentless encourager & advocate for families. Helping parents end painful generational cycles by expanding their positive parenting toolkit, so they can create family legacies & memories they are proud of – is my ultimate jam.

So happy you found me & I can’t wait for you to get started with the Fresh Start Experience.
