Cathy's book is coming out in October 2009..........
The Self-Aware Parent: 19 Lessons for Growing with Your Children
If we are open to it, we can learn a great deal about ourselves through parenting. When we can tap into this wonderful gift of self-awareness, we naturally become better parents.
Rich learning moments from our everyday experiences with children are highlighted through a series of relatable essays. Practical and profound lessons emerge:
- Taking care of yourself makes you a better parent
- Accepting your children for who they are is the key to their self worth
- Talking about feelings is essential at every stage of development
- Understanding children's misbehavior makes discipline less daunting
- Slowing down and simplifying makes parenting more enjoyable
- Practicing self awareness leads to a healthy and trusting relationship with your children
Presentations, Classes, and Coaching
Presentations for schools, groups, churches, parents or professionals
If a specific topic is requested a presentation can be created.
"Cathy's self care presentation was perfectly tailored for my group's busy moms. Her personal stories about motherhood, along with professional wisdom, inspired us to make the most of our personal time and say no to obligations that are taking away from it. We loved hearing that developing our own interests (even going to rock concerts) can actually help us to be better parents. I highly recommend her to groups looking for a speaker or parents looking for a coach."
Jennie, member of Mothers & More of DuPage County
"Cathy was so enjoyable to listen to as a speaker - she's a natural that takes the time to listen and interact with her audience. Cathy was so well received by our MOPS group that we've asked her to come back again this year and speak on another one of her many topics!"
Jenny, MOPS Coordinator at Parkview Christian Church

Individual Parent Coaching or Couples Parent Coaching
"I feel like a different mom and I know my kids have benefited from this experience. Cathy listened to me and helped me understand my value as a mother. She helped me focus on what my kids do RIGHT. I have more fun with them now. I loved setting goals and focusing on myself for once. Now I understand that I if I don’t take care of myself, there is no way I can be a good or productive mom! Cathy challenged my thinking, she offered new information, she followed up with me, she sent me letters and articles, and she made me feel supported. I wish that all parents could have this experience!"
