• What is Parent Coaching? Parent Coaching is a collaborative process between an experienced parent coach and you. Coaches provide a safe space for you to explore your concerns, identify strengths, and develop effective parenting strategies tailored to your family’s dynamics.
• What does a Parent Coach do? A parent coach provides clear, immediate strategies to address whatever you are grappling with. We take the time to get to know your family history, dynamics, and values, then create a roadmap just for you.

Therapy session #3 Heidi & Griff speak openly about having another child. Griff is a no & Heidi is desperate for another. Her words, "I feel broken."

The couple had to bring a conflict to their therapy session with Fish, they both came with the topic - baby number 2.

This is a very personal, vulnerable insight into their relationship and the conversation they are trying to have around baby number 2 and seeing each others pain instead of fighting about it.

Heidi's heart is OPEN in this ep in a big way, you may need to grab some tissues.

ITS A BIG ONE!!!
