Show Up Differently

A 12-week coaching program for parents in high-conflict families.

You are inside a conflict that won't end on its own.

Maybe it's with a co-parent. Maybe it's with your child. Maybe it's both, layered on top of each other in ways that have started to feel impossible to untangle. You've read the books. You've tried the scripts. You've been to therapy or you're in therapy now. And still, when the moment comes... the text message, the meltdown, the door slam, the hearing date, the new accusation... you find yourself reacting in ways you don't want to.

You are not the only one. And you are not stuck.

Show Up Differently is a 12-week 1:1 coaching program for parents who are ready to do their own work, on their own timeline, without waiting for the other person to be ready first.

We focus on the one person whose patterns you actually have the power to change: you.

Not because the conflict is your fault, but because your shift is the only one you control, and the shift you make ripples out in ways that change everything else.

I'm Sarah. I've spent two decades working with high-conflict families as a parenting coordinator, parent coach, and family court consultant. I've sat with parents at every stage:

• the pre-divorce escalation,
• the active litigation,
• the years afterward when the conflict refuses to end,
• the parent-child relationship rupture nobody saw coming, and
• the slow, quiet work of repair.

My approach blends clinical expertise, mediation training, and the lived experience of my own neurospicy brain. I know what burnout looks like from the inside, and I know what it takes to come back from it.

This program is built for the parent who is done waiting.

This program is for you if any of the following applies:

• You are in active conflict with a co-parent and you want to stop reacting to their patterns and start leading from your own values OR
• Your relationship with your child has fractured and you want to begin the work of repair, even if your child is not ready yet OR
• You are managing escalation in your home and you need real tools to de-escalate and reconnect OR
• You feel exhausted from being the only person trying, and you want a structured place to do the work that does not require anyone else's participation OR
• You are tired of advice that assumes both parents are showing up, both parties are reasonable, and conflict is symmetrical

Across 12 weeks, we will work on:

• Identifying the patterns you fall into under conflict and building new responses you can actually use in the moment
• Communication skills that protect your child from exposure to conflict, even when the other parent will not do the same
• De-escalation tools for parent-child conflict, including after periods of distance or rupture
• Emotional regulation skills that hold up under provocation, late-night texts, court filings, and bad days
• Repair work. What to say, when to say it, and how to hold the long arc of rebuilding trust
• Boundary work that does not require the other person's cooperation to function
• Trauma-informed insight into why conflicts escalate the way they do, and what your nervous system needs to stay grounded
• Building a parenting practice you can be proud of, regardless of what the other parent does

What you get:

• Twelve 60-minute 1:1 sessions, delivered virtually, scheduled at your pace
• A personalized framework you and Sarah build together over the course of the program
• Between-session email support for the moments that come up between calls
• Resource guides tailored to your specific family situation, including pre-litigation, active litigation, post-decree, and reunification scenarios
• Practical scripts and frameworks you can use immediately

Investment: $1800 ($2,400 if billed individually) USD for the full 12-week program. 

A note on scope: This program is parent coaching, not therapy and not legal advice. Sarah works alongside therapists, attorneys, parenting coordinators, and family evaluators, and helps parents be more grounded participants in those processes.
