#ParentFromGreatness
What’s it all about?
It’s a completely new paradigm in the way we parent our children which will create more fun and freedom in your life as a parent than you would ever have thought possible. The freedom to do it differently.
More joy and playfulness.
It is an evolution in the way we raise our kids where all parents and children see themselves and each other as powerful.
Do you want to lift out of the +WeParentFromThePast trap
and do things differently to how your parents did it? Do you want to stop reacting to the way they did it and find a way that is natural for you?
I'm Jacqlin and I am the FREEDOM Finder for Parents. I have two boys aged 9 and 13…...and I am in a completely different place to where I thought I would be when I first went into this journey!
In my early years I found being a parent hard…..I wasn't happy, my kids weren't happy and neither was their Dad! We just didn't know how to relate to ourselves or each other very well. We were just doing the old stuff, the same way.
Someone finally said to me, “isn't it about time for a change?” And I went "fuck yes, sign me up please!"
"Where's the recipe to empower parents?”
That was what I wanted to know. And I’m not the only one.

and….This is also me loving my boys.
I can talk to you about all the challenging stuff around being a parent. The hard bits, the problems, the issues.
You’ll work out pretty quick though that it’s not where I put my focus when working with Parents. Because if we focus there then that’s what we see more of! That’s what keeps showing up!
It’s human nature. It’s simply the way we are wired. What we focus on multiplies. Where we put our energy amplifies. What we feed grows. What we pay attention to becomes more present in our lives. The tricky bit is that what we are focused on isn’t actually what we think we’re focused on! Much of the time in our lives as parents we are focused on the shitty bits, the hard bits and the challenges! Not what’s going well or what we would love in our lives as parents.
What are you paying attention to?
“Where attention goes, energy flows.”
I can talk to you about all of that stuff because I've been there!
AND…..
I’d much rather talk to you about what's happened since then.
I would rather talk to you about what you can create in your life as a parent.
About FUN. FREEDOM, JOY and PLAYFULNESS. I would rather talk to you about bringing more ease, calm and stillness into your life as a Parent. How to create more ALIVENESS, PASSION and LIVING into your world as a Mum or a Dad.
I would rather talk to you about the ‘Parent Traps’ we ALL fall into as parents and how to ‘face-slap’ your way out of them!
I would rather talk to you about the ‘Recipe' that I have discovered and how you can use it as a guidance system to understand yourself and what drives your thoughts, feelings and behaviour as a Parent. Essentially understand WHY you parent the WAY you do and how you can do it differently.
This Recipe is a unique manual for life.
For life as a parent.
It is the recipe for being a parent that I wish I'd had.
It is the main Program that I offer Men and Women to empower them to find FREEDOM in their lives as Parents.
Since I began working with this recipe my relationship with co-parent has completely transformed. I call him my co-parent because there are no ex-partners in parenting. We understand each other like never before, we are closer than we've ever been and I totally didn't expect that! This recipe has dramatically changed the relationship with my children. I finally ‘get’ myself and we finally ‘get’ each other.
Our family dynamic is now based on having curiosity around our differences which has lead to acceptance and compassion. It has created more time for life, love and connection, for ease, more humour and joy in our family life.
It has created a whole bunch of FREEDOM in my life as a parent because I found out how to lift myself out of the 5 ‘Parent Traps’ that we unconsciously noes-dive into when we become Mums and Dads.
#WeParentFromThePast
#NeverEnoughTime
#Judgement
#WePutourNeedsLast
#WeRaiseLittleMiniMes
These are the 5 traps we unconsciously nose-dive into when we become parents.
Yip, without even realising it and I love to empower parents to lift themselves out if they've got a bit STUCK!
Constantly hearing your mother’s words fall out of your mouth? Feel like you react just like your Dad when your kids push your buttons?
Or perhaps you swing and do the exact opposite.
This is the #WeParentFromThePast trap in all it's glory!
•
Time something you wish you had more of?
Welcome to the #NeverEnoughTime trap!
•
Always judging yourself or feel like others are judging the way you parent?
Say a big hi to the #Judgement trap!
•
Are your needs always at the bottom of the list? If they ever make it on it!!!
And/or
Relationship with your partner lacking the fire it used to?
That's the #WePutOurNeedsLast trap!
Or perhaps because that’s how you were raised you’re rocking over at the other end of the spectrum and it’s all about you and work!
Same trap, just a different version!
•
Keep thinking your child is just like you and they're so not?
Big part of the #WeRaiseMiniMes trap!
My EPIC VISION on this planet is to empower parents into FREEDOM focused parenting by lifting out of these traps with grace, fun and a LOT of humour.
I find it tricky to lift out of any trap without lightness and laughter!
My MISSION is that every parent will be able to playfully give themselves a ‘face slap’ or allow a BIG ‘doh!’ to slip from their mouths when they realise they’ve fallen in one of the traps.
THAT is the key to being able to lift oneself out!
I lifted myself out of the traps and now I’m empowering other parents to do the same.
“We were so stuck in the stress and busyness of life. Not having time to look at what we were doing or why we were doing it. Just repeating the same stuff. It wasn’t working.
We were blown away at the awareness that the RECIPE you share gave us in knowing ourselves and our children better. What we covered was so simple and so familiar yet so far away from how we were living.
The time we gave ourselves to pause and take a look at our family enabled us to focus on what we really wanted our life to be like. Jacqlin’s compassionate guidance and support enabled us to take in this new information and easily apply it to our own unique environment creating way more fun. Things are more peaceful and we’re finally enjoying life as parents.” Simon & Jen, Auckland.
