Are you stressed about the holidays? Let's work on that together

The latest from Jennifer Boudrye, Parent Educator & Coach

Hello, Reader!

One of the radio stations locked into my car radio is already playing Christmas music and I am not ready. I know my holidays are going to look and feel very different this year as each of my kids is living in different states and we won't be traveling to be together for any of our traditional holiday gatherings. It bums me out thinking about it and I'm trying to find my holiday spirit. I could use your help! Luckily, I have some time set aside for us to brainstorm together!

A quick reminder that I'm hosting a FREE pre-holiday workshop for Equality Loudoun tonight!

No matter where you are on your parenting journey, the holidays can be hard! When your kid is LGBTQ+ there are sometimes additional stressors.

  • What if your kiddo decides to come out at the holiday table?
  • Who knows what about your kid and how will they show up at the holiday table?
  • What gifts will make your child feel affirmed and loved?
  • How do you plan to handle the inevitable roller coaster of emotions that escalate during the holiday season?

I may not have all the answers, but I know we'll be able to figure it out and make a plan together! Register at the link below and I'll send you the meeting link before the workshop begins.

Please register and share this with anyone who will benefit from the conversation!

If you can't make it tonight, join me today at 12 noon ET and we can talk about the holiday planning of whatever else is on your mind today.

Sending you so many positive vibes,

The Parent With Care Collective Membership is open and free until 12/31/23. Curious? Join us Wednesdays @12noon ET for live group coaching!

Hello, Reader! I’m writing this from my new home in Lebanon, Ohio! For the past several weeks I’ve been unpacking and learning my way around this charming town that was literally selected as the most charming town in Ohio! Why Ohio? Well, the short answer is that my significant other is from the area and much of his extended family is here. Our kids are scattered on both coasts, so this puts us right in the middle of everyone. We are right in-between Cincinnati and Dayton and there is a great...
