Start Operating Like An Elite PerformerFor Parents of College (and College Bound) Students
From Fixing Everything.. to Strength-Focused Parenting
If your college or college-bound student is overwhelmed, shutting down, or falling behind—and you’re exhausted from trying to keep them on track—I help you shift from anxious micromanaging to calm, strategic support rooted in executive functioning.
You’ll learn exactly how to support your student without rescuing them, how to reduce conflict and shutdowns, and how to foster the independence, resilience, and performance skills they need to thrive in college and beyond.
This is where Fix-It Fatigue ends—and confident, modern parenting begins.
Best For: Parents of students facing executive functioning challenges, anxiety, academic struggles, or inconsistent follow-through.
Help Your Student Build Executive Functioning SkillsFor College Students
Rebuild. Strengthen Executive Functioning. Perform.
College demands a level of independence, organization, and self-regulation that most students were never taught. I help students rebuild after burnout or a rough semester by strengthening the executive functioning skills that drive success: planning, prioritizing, task initiation, emotional regulation, and follow-through.
Students learn how to get unstuck, regain confidence, boost motivation, and build the systems they need to manage stress, stay organized, and perform academically—without constant overwhelm.
Best For: Students struggling with procrastination, motivation, time management, stress, confidence, or academic performance.
