I really want to thank Fresh Start Family for all the training I’ve gotten through the Foundations Course & Bonfire Membership Program. It has not only helped me with my own kids but communication with other adults as well.
Our house has been SO MUCH MORE PEACEFUL since finishing the Foundations Course! My boys are fighting less, we are having less power struggles, both my husband and I are happier and it’s just more fun to parent these days. I am excited to learn and implement more! Thanks Wendy Snyder for the awesome teaching!
Before I started this program, I truly felt defeated as a mom and personally just in disgust with myself knowing how inconsistent and horrible I was being to my daughter and sad to say, my husband too! The Foundations Course has given me love and light as a mommy to know that each day is a new day and to practice patience and give myself grace.
I just finished up the Foundations course and WOW where to begin! Without a doubt our biggest struggle has been bedtime with our 3.5 year old. I am so thankful for the approach Wendy laid out. I was amazed that in a few short days of using some of Wendy’s suggestions bedtime was so much easier! It is refreshing to feel like you’re giving your kids the tools they need to think for themselves and make good decisions. I see myself coming back to the lessons over and over again and I whole hardheartedly recommend the Foundations Course to every family!
We absolutely loved the Fresh Start Parenting class with Wendy! It has helped us to parent our two boys the way we want to – with grace, understanding, communication and love. And rather than simply looking at how to make them do what we want right now (behavior modification), we now view our role as parents with more of an eternal perspective. It is more about building a relationship. We NEED courses like this to help us along in this crazy parenting journey! I would HIGHLY recommend this class!
My biggest takeaway from Fresh Start Family classes was the notion of being equipped with a tool belt. If one tool doesn’t work, you can try another and see what works best for your family. I have recommended Fresh Start Family to a number of friends. This is time well spent. It will only benefit your family.
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!
It has actually been MIRACULOUS the difference in my kids’ behaviors since I joined the Bonfire. It’s ASTONISHING. My sons communicate so much better. My oldest child’s emotional intelligence and critical thinking skills have grown leaps and bounds in just a few months. I’m so grateful for Fresh Start Family!
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.
First things first … I’m a certified positive parenting educator & family life coach but it’s so important you know that I wasn’t always so positive in my parenting walk. A decade ago, I was knee deep in despair & hopelessness raising a strong willed daughter while juggling a colicky newborn & a 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.
My 3 kids have such a strong, incredible relationship with one another and SO much better interpersonal skills because of this work & the skills I’ve learned on how to work with them from The Bonfire! 💜
The tools you’ve given GREATLY helped me with my 3 year old! I was just telling my husband tonight that I feel like I’ve just had a different perspective with her lately and just have more options to use with her now. Finding your work & the Bonfire community has been HUGE!
We’ve had our first huge breakthrough and I know for certain one year ago my day would not have ended like that. I would have gone to bed feeling guilty, knowing I had lost it once again. Thank you Wendy Snyder for being faithful to God and this work and bringing change to our family!
I absolutely love helping families 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’m obsessed with serving families 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 literally taught positive parenting workshops, seminars & courses to thousands of families. I GET IT. I GET YOU. YES, I’M THAT HELPER YOU’VE BEEN PRAYING FOR.
I deeply care about each & every family I work with and am committed to getting them 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 a giant fan of 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 host The Fresh Start Family Show, a feel good, helpful podcast for busy parents all about relationships & raising kids with integrity. I’m a relentless encourager & advocate for families and I create online programs that help parents end painful generational cycles by expanding their positive parenting toolkit, so they can create family legacies & memories they are proud of.
Being a part of the Bonfire has helped me completely shift my mindset as a parent. Once I shifted my mind, I was able to get on my child’s level to be creative & problem solve (redirect) misbehavior effectively!
I have been trying out lots of strategies & seeing great results. In the past few days alone our family has had an encouragement feast, done several make-ups in different forms, have been using the firm and kind process regularly & been trying out the power struggle dissolving strategies. Thanks for everything!!!
As I’m beginning to realize what an incredible resource this Bonfire community & and coaching is, wow! I just finished up the foundations course too!I have had some really REALLY empowering moments since I first started implementing this work earlier this year. The moment I took MY first calming break was SO empowering!
Have you ever heard that saying? It’s so simple and SO true.
Something that’s happened to me over & over again is that I will have incredible parents reach out to me on social media to ask questions about my programs. I support & encourage them with info about The Foundations Course & then I don’t hear from them again, till years later, when they contact me again saying they are STILL struggling hard.
I scroll back and see that I had communicated with them a year or two again, but they never became a student … and they are still stressed, worried, unconfident & lacking joy in their days as a parent.
You see, nothing changes … if you never step forward to get the help you need & do something different.
My heart breaks for these families because I know they’ve missed out on precious memories & endured massive amounts of stress & heartbreak from not moving forward & starting their learning journey with Fresh Start Family.
I don’t want the same thing to happen to you.
I’ve finished the Foundations Course and things are really starting to feel more fluid! After a challenging situation with my 6 year old son yesterday, I was able to remain calm & respond with firm kindness & integrity, as well as teach using compassionate discipline. It felt so good to have connection with him instead of doing what I may have done in the past – snap to anger and give him a lecture about how I’m his mom and he needs to be respectful. This new way I’ve learned to parent him & teach him important life lessons feels so much better!
I see you wanting more … wanting things to be different. Wanting to find joy & peace & connection in your days with your kids. Wanting behavior to be better. Wanting your self-confidence to be higher.
These wants and dreams are achievable & are yours for the taking … IF you step forward with getting the support you need to build the family foundation of your dreams.
Stop & picture yourself & your family 4 weeks from now. Do you see yourself thriving or surviving?
Do you see yourself connected, close & having fun with your kids?
>>> or are you still bickering, threatening & counting down the moments till bedtime?
You don’t have to stay stuck in the pit of parenthood overwhelm. The mountain may seem HUGE, but I’m here to tell you that I’ve climbed it & the view from the freakin top is FANTASTIC.
Picture what you want for your family & then go freaking get it.
There are 7 days in a week … SOMEDAY is NOT one of them.
Today is your day to take action, to be supported with a full step by step system to creating the family dynamic you’ve always dreamed of.
The cost of NOT saying yes is too high to ignore … you deserve this.
Today is your day to step into fully being supported.
The things we’ve learned through the Foundations Course is PRICELESS. The lessons in this course have the power to change the world one home at a time. What an amazing gift to have prayed so hard for God to show us the way, and to have come across FSF & the Foundations Course, so we can now actually CHOOSE the way we want to parent, to have information, to have knowledge, and not just the ONE WAY that parenting has been done for generations.
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.
Thank you Fresh Start Family for introducing us to the Foundations Course! It has been freeing to be at choice with our parenting, to be on the same page, to bring more light and joy to intense power struggles, and to see progress in each day! Our son is learning ways to self calm, re-do, and use his energy for good. We are learning new ways to be proactive, make agreements, give more choices and teach in a calm time. Expanding our toolkit has been transformational for our family.

Yes you are … and I’m here waiting with open arms to welcome you into the Foundations Course.
A year ago I would have said being home 24/7 with the kids and wife during a world pandemic would have been a death sentence (or divorce material). It has actually been really pleasant, and it’s because my son has improved so much from the Fresh Start approach my wife took the lead on to implement in our home. The fun moments are more often and the blowouts are fewer and shorter lived. Thanks Wendy!
I’m so grateful for having found this Bonfire community. I can’t imagine how strained my relationship would be with my son by now had we not learned about positive parenting. Instead of shaming him for his poor behavior all the time, we are speaking life into him. We are telling him who he is in Christ and affirming the things he does well. We are looking for the good instead of only correcting the bad. And we are showing him a better way as we learn a better way.
Thank you Fresh Start Family for this past 6 months! I know I am doing something right when Aubrie my 2 year old can tell I get frustrated or start raising my voice with my husband. She immediately tells me to take a deep breath! I have still so much to learn but so thankful for this group!

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!
