The Fresh Start Experience is the only positive parenting program built for REAL LIFE PARENTING.
You’ll discover how to ditch hand-me-down parenting tactics & stop doubting you’ll ever have kids who cooperate well.
Join a community of parents from around the world who are changing their lives in the Fresh Start Experience program.
No more freaking out faster than you can take a deep breath, jumping to threats, or screaming to gain respect & cooperation. My simple steps to become responsive (vs. reactive) in your parenting walk will have you feeling confident about your own actions as a parent when you lay your head on your pillow each night. Plus, your kids will respond so much better when they are inspired by you (vs. scared).
We’ll help you build a solid discipline toolkit that teaches important life lessons with grace & dignity. You’ll learn to successfully plan & implement logical consequences (without all the punishment mindset BS you’ve been taught all your life about how kids need to feel bad about their behavior in order to behave better).
You’ll have a simple to implement 4 step process that helps you stay consistent with strong boundaries as a parent, even in the face of your pushback, overwhelm & triggers. You can say goodbye to begging your kids to listen, or jumping to punishment because they didn’t do what they’re told. In no time, you’ll be setting firm rules & sticking to them with dignity, connection & kindness.
Threats have become a solid go-to for you and “if, then statements” flow out of your mouth lightning fast all day long … but you lack follow through so your kids laugh at you behind your back & know you’re not REALLY going to hold up your boundaries. (yikes, but c’mon, you know it’s true!)
You’re not proud of it, but forcing your kids to comply by grabbing wrists tighter than you’d like to admit, or dragging them kicking and screaming to time outs has you crying tears of shame & regret when you lay your head on your pillow at night.
Bribes and rewards have become a norm for you (I mean how else would you potty train or get your kids to do what they’re supposed to? 😝) … but later realize that they still need you to nag them, or hold a carrot over their head, or they just straight disrespect your rules.
You’ve become a professional yeller & struggle with the nagging thoughts of “why do I have to raise my voice in order for my kids to listen” and then watch your kids the next day as they repeat the behavior of not listening till you scream at them – that feeling of groundhogs day is so draining!
No one handed you a firm & kind parenting manual when your child was born (boy, that would have been nice!) so …
… of course you’re confused
… of course you feel out of control
… of course you have questions about how to raise your little human souls with integrity, connection & effectiveness
… of course you feel like you’re drowning in the demands of motherhood and lacking joy.

I see you, I admire you & I get you.
If you’re anything like me, admitting you need help feels a little vulnerable & up until now, you weren’t quite sure who to ask.
Or perhaps you’ve invested in a parenting program before only to NOT finish it or have trouble getting results with what you learned.
You may even feel like it’s impossible to find time to shower each day, let alone do a parenting course.
You probably REALLY want to believe there is light at the end of the tunnel if you were to learn a new way … but you’re having doubts that it will work.
It takes courage to do things differently than what had been modeled to you growing up.
Take a moment to feel that smile on your face that you experience when you actually enjoy spending time with your kids who matter more to you than anything else in the world.

Our boys are doing so great! I have a new lens that I look through when we face parenting struggles that helps me realize their behavior is usually a direct reflection of our relationship with each other … and how I respond vs react to their big emotions and choices.
It’s so humbling to parent this way and assume integrity with our kids.
We are learning together, guiding each other, and as parents my husband and I are pausing and modeling more. When there’s conflict between them I’m asking more questions and making them think instead of trying to find fault and taking sides.
It’s been eye opening to see how far connecting with each of them regularly really goes. I’m thankful for the things I’ve learned from Wendy and the community members. This has had such a huge impact on our parenting journey!
I used to fear picking my kids up from daycare/pre-school just knowing what was ahead. Now my perspective has changed tremendously and I can’t speak highly enough about Wendy and Fresh Start Family courses. It not only saved our family, but strengthened the relationship with my husband which was an added bonus! Our entire family is beginning to gain such strong trust and respect for one another and I feel more empowered than ever.
So excited for all the small victories that are happening day in, day out in our home. They really do add up and I feel so proud. This group has been a life changer. It took the words /theories /strategies of positive parenting and helped me bring them to fruition in our day to day life as a family. Forever grateful!
The education & support Wendy provides in The Bonfire is meaningful and is making a difference in our home. She is so relatable because of her real world experience that she shares so openly & honestly through her teaching & coaching. The Bonfire weekly coaching sessions and monthly lessons & print outs are a continuous part of our learning and help me stay committed to growing into the husband and dad I need to be.
I spent this last weekend finishing up the foundations course with my husband! I feel so empowered!!! I have made a diligent effort the past few days to be conscious in my actions and words with my 3.5 year old son and have seen a SIGNIFICANT difference overall in our interactions, his behavior, my mood and how we have handled not so great moments. I am thankful to have found Fresh Start Family and to be learning and growing each day alongside my kids!

Nope, not at all. All of our lessons & learning activities are housed in an online custom learning platform that you’ll get immediate access to when you join today.
Our private facebook group is a bonus place for Fresh Start Experience Families to be in community, share in success stories, cheer each other on & receive additional support & accountability. We absolutely recommend creating a “dummy facebook account” where you have zero friends & zero followers that you can use to login & take part in the private community (when you login to take part in our private group – you are not “getting on social media” – you are engaging with virtual parenting support group & counseling – which is WAY different than just mindless scrolling.
We’ve tested multiple platforms for community engagement & facebook is by far where we’ve had the best experience for group engagement / community building so that’s why we use it – but it is absolutely not required to take part in the Fresh Start Experience program.
