If you're feeling overwhelmed and frustrated because your attempts to set boundaries based on your family values and intuition are falling flat, you are not alone! Perhaps you find yourself constantly giving in to your child's demands, compromising your own values, or feeling disconnected from your family. Despite your best efforts, a calmer and more connected parenting environment seems out of reach. 

But there is hope! By understanding the importance of setting boundaries and aligning them with your family values, you can parent with confidence and create the harmonious and fulfilling home life you've been yearning for.

Guest Bio:
Our special guest is Cindy Shuster, PCI® Certified Parent Coach, Nurtured Heart Approach® Certified Trainer, and mom for over 26 years.

Meet Cindy Shuster—a beacon of hope for all parents struggling to find balance between their expectations and real-life parenting scenarios. After a decade of teaching on the elementary education frontlines and raising three sons, Cindy found her true calling as a PCI-certified parent coach. She learned several lessons from her own experiences as a mother. One of the most important? That raising children takes more than just love and provision—it requires a strategic approach.

Today, Cindy channels her passion into sharing her learned wisdom with other parents, paying it forward and making their journeys a little bit smoother.

'Kids do well if they can,’ not ‘kids do well if they want to.’ We should be adopting the mindset of helping children develop the skills they need rather than expecting them to behave perfectly. —Jenny GK
