The Pillars of Evolving Mothers:
Create Awareness
The first step toward change is to create awareness around what is currently happening in your home and within yourself. There is no judgement or shame! We are simply looking for what's working and what isn't.
Develop Clarity
Next,  you need to know where you are headed. You will get clear about what values and character traits are important to you, and learn how to use those to answer the question, "What do I do when...?"
Acquire Tools
Raising children is complicated! Just when you master one stage, they move into another that throws new challenges at you! You will learn tools to help you respond to those challenges according to your values.

Being part of Evolving Mothers means you will :

  • be with the same small group of 8-10 moms each week in order to create strong connections and a safe place to share.

  • learn how the brain and body work so that you will understand what is going on within you and your child when emotions are big.

  • be guided through the tools that will help you respond to those big emotions without punishment, shame or yelling.
  • develop a parenting plan that is based on your family values so you will be more clear about how to handle difficult behaviors.

  • start to see your child's behaviors as communication of their needs and the skills they are lacking, rather than acts of defiance or disrespect.

  • learn from other moms, and offer them encouragement as we all grow and evolve into the best version of ourselves together!

Have questions? We've got answers!

We will begin in November. The groups meet on first, second, and third Thursdays of each month (unless otherwise specified due to holidays). Current options are Thursdays 12:15-1:35PM PST, or Wednesdays 7-8:40PM PST. If Evolving Mothers would benefit you, but those times don't work with your schedule, please send me an email at KeiraMerk@gmail.com and let me know which days/times are ideal for you. When a group starts that fits your schedule, I will notify you.

The groups remain consistent in order to create a safe and connected place for moms to open up and support each other. If you need to change your assigned group for some reason, no problem. But, week to week changes are not an option.

Each week, we take some time to say hello and then do a calming or grounding activity together (a breathing exercise is one example). After that, mothers who would like to share and receive support or encouragement are able to do so. I will often share relevant concepts or strategies that are pertinent to the topics or challenges being discussed. The goal of Evolving Mothers is to have the moms leave the group having a little more self-awareness than they had at the beginning, feeling a sense of connection with other moms, and empowered with new insights or tools they can use throughout the week.

If, after your first week, you decide Evolving Mothers is not a fit for you, you can receive a full refund. If you attend two or more groups in your first month, no refunds will be given.

Yes. You can remain in your group for as long as you feel it is beneficial. You can cancel at any time. If you have not attended any groups during the month in which you would like to cancel, you will be refunded the full amount. If you want to cancel but have already attended one or more groups that month your membership will be cancelled beginning the first of the following month. (For brand new members wanting to cancel within the first month, please refer to the refund policy above.)

We all imagine how we want to be as a mom, but our angry reactions to the day-to-day stressors of motherhood just aren't matching with that picture in our minds.

We start each day promising ourselves we're going to be patient and positive. We tell ourselves we will manage messes, moderate meltdowns, and break up sibling bickering sessions with patience and grace.

But when we find ourselves kindly and calmly repeating simple requests a hundred times, only to be ignored or receive pushback, we lose it.

That idea of who we want to be completely disappears and angry mommy takes over.

After yelling, demanding, threatening and bribing is over, we see our hurting child with fear all over their face. 

Then the guilt and shame set in.

Sigh.

It is so painful to repeat this cycle again and again and not know how to get out of it.

The good news is that breaking the cycle is absolutely possible!

You are not the only one who struggles, and you can join the many moms who have gone before you and made the changes that allowed them to reduce their anger and really enjoy their time with their children (including me!).

I look forward to walking alongside you as you evolve into an even better version of who you already are!
