Parenting is Tough

You’re Not Alone

I was keeping it together on the outside - at work, at the playground, in front of family - but inside I struggled. I had pictured being the calm, confident, loving mother. I felt like I was failing.

Why was I yelling so much?

Why was I trying to escape?

What was I doing wrong?

I was in an exhausting cycle, pulling me farther away from my family.

Now, my family dynamic has changed because I learned parenting tools that were not modelled for me - not from lack of love, but lack of knowing.

Let me help you learn how to deal with:

  • Tantrums, defiance, and aggression in your child

  • Anxiety and overwhelm in your home

  • Exhaustion from yelling and strategies that don’t work

  • Kids who don’t listen, seem distant, or act disrespectful

  • Wanting to parent differently than how you were raised

Let’s create more calm, connection, and confidence in your parenting.

What People Are Saying

  • Jimena, 15yr old daughter, Spain

    “Conscious Parenting really had a big influence in the relationship between me and my dad. When I was growing up, I started being more conscious of my dad’s anger, I felt very guilty of it since I thought it was my fault for not being “a good enough” daughter. We would have arguments every day and that was the only way I ever got his attention, so the issue increased more and more each day. Conscious Parenting really helped me and my dad in terms of our relationship not just because he started understanding me more and supporting me more as his daughter, but because it also taught me how to be better at expressing myself and stop bottling everything up.”

  • Nathalie, Mom Boys 8 & 11yo, Vancouver

    “After attending the New Year Reset (Transform Your Triggers online) workshop with Arleen, I felt heard, I felt that I was not alone in this, nor was I a bad parent for the way I responded to confrontation. The course was intimate and raw, I felt so comfortable 'unpacking' in this space and that is down to Arleen's straightforward, empathic way of teaching, I learnt a lot about myself and how my past shapes my present. I was given tools to support my own healing and be present in times of discomfort and anxiety. I highly recommend working with Arleen and look forward to the next workshop, thank you Arleen, you really are making a difference.”

  • Jit, Father of 2 sons, England

    “Your work in parenting shifted my mind to a completely different way to connect with my children. Whilst it continues to have its ups and downs, once you know you can’t un-know. I truly believe that because of your commitment, I am a better parent, a conscious parent, and a more loving parent.”

  • Elodie, Mother of 2 sons, France

    “Hi Arleen, I wanted to thank you again for today.  You gave us a lot of food for thought. The day was so informative, thoughtful and eye opening. I also really appreciate how hard it must have been to open up about your own traumas. It takes a lot of courage as well as putting one’s ego on the side to do so. Thank you for opening up to us and allowing us a safe space where we can share our thoughts and experiences. The workshop has opened something in me and made so much sense. Thank you, a thousand times.”

  • Single Mom, Vancouver

    “Thank you for your honesty, authenticity and making the environment comfortable. I was really excited but a bit nervous to attend as a parent of older children. I felt totally comfortable and safe. The material is relevant no matter what the age of the child. Thank you! I am so excited to attend the rest of the workshops. The material and presenter are amazing!”

  • Education Assistant, North Vancouver School Board Workshop

    “Your presentation was so helpful because I felt I was much more alone with struggles at work. Just seeing that we all share these challenges and finding support for that was wonderful!”

Listen to My Story…

In this deeply personal conversation, Ce Eshelman, founder of The Attach Place Center for Strengthening Relationships, interviews Arleen Tyndall who opens her heart about the journey from performing perfection to embracing her humanness. From the outside, Arleen’s life looked polished and put-together, but underneath, she was carrying the weight of generations of pain, silence, and emotional disconnection.

Interviewed by Phil Cisneros from California, Arleen discusses how being a clinical HIV pharmacist led to Conscious Parenting advocacy and the importance of self-awareness and emotional healing as parents.
