Parenting is that ride with the unexpected triple loop and splash of water. It is one of the most meaningful journeys, and also one that can exhaust a parent both physically and mentally. The mission of the Confident Parent Collective is to fuel parents with inner confidence and effective methods so they can live happy and healthy lives with their kids. The word confident holds valuable meaning because when parents are resourced and educated then their decisions are grounded in meaningful, loving responses, rather than fire-hose reactions. The word collective embraces the belief that parents are stronger together. No one ever said that parenting was a solo, isolating journey; however, that somehow became part of the norm in today’s world. The CPC exists to build community through online parent groups, masterclasses in communities and schools, and transformation coaching from Amanda Irtz. The CPC also offers a host of self-paced courses, which intentionally focus on the needs of modern parents. It is designed for you to be as involved and active as you choose because Amanda truly understands the tug-and-pull relationship of parenting.
She's amazing, and the insight she provides is everything I've been looking for. As a parent you want to do what is best for your child and I feel like she has helped foster a culture of understanding, nurturing, and no judgement. It has made my home so much better.
