What if you could have the relationship you've
always wanted with your Tween or Teen?
Sound good? Let's go!
Hi! I'm Jasmyne,
and I want to help you build Connection, Trust, and Harmony with your Pre-Teen or Teenager without needing to change or fix THEM.
In my 16+ years as an educator, parent, coach, and guide for Teens, I've learned that creating a connected relationship with your Teenager comes down to these 3 things...
Cultivating nervous system awareness and emotional regulation so you can show up as a steady, grounded presence for your teen. When parents lead with calm confidence, teens feel safe to open up.
Shifting from control to guidance by honoring your teen’s need for independence while maintaining boundaries. This builds mutual respect and helps teens develop self-trust and decision-making skills.
Moving beyond lectures and fixing into deep listening, curiosity, and validation. When teens feel heard and understood, they are more likely to seek support and connection with their parents.
That's the work we'll do together in Rooted in Connection
Rooted in Connection
Empowering Parents to Cultivate Trusted, Connected, and Harmonious Relationships with Their Tweens and Teens
An 8-Week, Online Coaching Program
This Program is perfect for Parents who...
Feel disconnected or frustrated with the relationship they have with their teen.
Want to create a more positive, peaceful home environment.
Have a teenager who is struggling with confidence, anxiety, lack of motivation, or other challenges.
Are ready to learn new tools and strategies to support their parenting journey.
Are willing to put in the work it will take to shift habits, belief systems, and strategies that no longer serve them.
Understand that their teen's mental health, confidence, motivation, and happiness is, in part, tied to having a strong and connected relationship with their parent.
One of the key ingredients for helping our teens thrive is to create trusted and connected relationships with them, so they have a solid foundation to spring from. It’s not enough to send them off for their own coaching and therapy if we’re not addressing our own parenting challenges and the ways we might be contributing to the problems.
We have such a short window of time with our kids at home with us, especially once they’ve entered the tween and teen years, so this is our final window of opportunity to take our relationships to the next level and to become the parents they really need during these tumultuous years that are leading to their big launch into adulthood.
Receiving coaching on our parenting journey is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and for our kids. When we have truly trusted and connected relationships with our tweens and teens, it’s just about the best thing in life.
Parenting is the hardest job on the planet, and we all need support on the journey if we don’t want to just keep passing down the harmful generational patterns that we were taught. This is an opportunity to create a whole new paradigm in our home and in the relationship we have with our kids, which will in turn be a key ingredient in the way they feel about themselves and their lives.
It is possible.
You CAN Create the Relationship You've Dreamed About
The messages and stories our culture tells us about parenting teenagers are false. This is not just a phase of parenting that you have to struggle with, suffer through, and merely survive. This can be the best part of your parenting journey so far, and I'm here to help you get there.
Rooted in Connection is an 8 week, Online Course for Parents who are ready to create a trusted and connected relationship with their pre-teen or teenager and say goodbye to yelling, fighting, and disconnection. In the program, you'll receive help to break old, harmful patterns, envision the relationship you really want with your young person, and give you tools and strategies for building emotional regulation, deep connection, and trust with your son or daughter.
It’s an opportunity to receive individualized coaching support, and on demand videos and practice that help you incorporate everything you’re learning into your life. Basically, you’ll get a full wrap around experience that will propel your relationship forward, give you new tools and strategies for changing patterns that no longer serve you, and help you to be the strong support and solid foundation you want to be, so your young person can truly thrive.
What would having a truly connected and trusted relationship with your pre-teen or teenager change for you both? Imagine more harmony, more sweet moments together, and actually being able to have some positive influence over their choices and challenges. When our kids are struggling, getting them extra support is huge, but it’s just as important to look at the whole picture.
As their parents, we are the foundation that their life stories are built on, so making that foundation as solid as possible is one of the best things we can do for our kids. If you know your relationship needs a boost, and you’re ready to do the work to create a more trusted and connected relationship with your young person, click the button below now to schedule a time to chat and find out if this could be the exact thing you’ve been searching for.
What We'll Cover
Each week, we'll unpack lots of powerful concepts and strategies that you'll learn how to apply to your own parenting journey. Below are a few of the topics we'll cover.
Setting Boundaries
and Holding them
How do we set and maintain healthy boundaries with our teens that doesn't get in the way of our connection with them? We'll dive into the work around boundaries in general and also specifics around screen time, alcohol, drugs, chores, sleep, attitude and more.
The Emotional
Bank Account
Filling our teen's emotional bank account, noticing and turning towards their bids for connection, and increasing the ratio of positive vs. negative interactions we have with them are huge factors in building trust and connection. We'll talk about the why and the how of these hugely important concepts.
What's Actually in Your Control
Learning how to shift our attention and energy to what we can actually control with our teenagers has the power to completely shift the dynamic in your relationship. We'll explore examples and scenarios of how to apply this concept to your own parenting journey
Responding vs. Reacting
Figuring out how to regulate our own emotions and learning the art of responding instead of reacting is the key to cultivating harmony in our homes and teaching our teens how to regulate themselves. We'll dive into practical tools, strategies, and mindset shifts to do this work for ourselves, so we can model it for our teens.
Changing Your Lens
The way we view our teens dramatically impacts the way we feel about them, all of our interactions with them, and the way they feel about themselves. Learning how to shift our focus to what they're doing right and what we love about them is an integral component of creating trusted and connected relationships with them.
Becoming a Conscious Parent
Conscious Parenting is a parenting philosophy that emphasizes self-awareness, presence, and emotional self-regulation.
It's based on the idea that parents must look inward at themselves instead of trying to "fix" their children. We'll dive into the inner work of healing ourselves, learning tools for mindfulness, and tapping into our own dreams and purpose instead of trying to fix, mold, or live vicariously through the pursuits of our kids.
Giving Respect
Respect is a two-way street. It's futile to demand respect if we're not willing to give that same respect to our teenagers in return. We'll explore the ways we sabotage trust when we don't include our teens in decisions that impact their lives, and how we can start giving them a voice and a choice in the things that matter to them. We'll unpack the ways we can give them the respect they deserve in every-day interactions and create more mutual trust and understanding.
Empowering vs. Fixing
We often jump in and try to rescue, fix, and advise our teens. When we do this, we not only disempower them, but we also aren't providing the type of support and active listening they really need. Through our work together, we'll strategize ways we can hold space, and support our teens, without taking over, trying to fix, or robbing them of their own learning opportunities and resilience.

My Story
It wasn't them. It was me!
I don't know what finally made this click in for me, but somehow, some way, I'm here living this amazing life as the Mom of two teenagers.
I wake up each morning, and I'm just so stoked and so grateful that my kids are thriving and that I have super close and connected relationships with each of them.
This did not happen by accident.
This would not have been possible if I kept doing my parenting journey on auto pilot. This would not have happened if I kept replaying the same broken behaviors that were passed down to me, and that I fully embodied for a huge chunk of my kids' lives.
I didn't know what I was doing, and I was seriously messing up, A LOT.
I was a yeller. I was an overreactor. I was dysregulated. I created drama about things that didn't need to be dramatic. I dug in about things that didn't need to be big deals. And one day, I looked around and realized how badly I was losing out on deep and meaningful connections with my kids.
In my mind, I was doing all the right things. I was the sports Mom who showed up to every game. I was the gymnastics Mom, the playdate Mom, the field trip Mom, the make organic meals, limit media exposure, and throw awesome birthday parties Mom. But what I started to realize was that all of those outward expressions of my love were falling flat because I was constantly sabotaging trust and connection with my kids with rigid expectations, an excessive need for control, and by losing my shit all the time.
And then, finally, a light bulb turned on for me. They didn't need fixing. They didn't need controlling. I DID!! I was the problem!!!!
Holy crap, that was so humbling.
But, something truly magical started to happen and is continuing to happen, as I learn to heal myself, control myself, regulate myself, and shift my focus to what they're doing right and all the amazing things I love about them instead of what I perceived as problems.
I have a lot of compassion and grace for that old version of my Mom self. I was doing my absolute best. Parenting was so much harder than I had ever even fathomed was possible. And despite how hard it was, I kept showing up for myself and my kids.
So if you're in the same spot I was, please have compassion and grace for yourself too. As we grow and heal, our best keeps getting better.
Having a connected relationship with my teenagers is about the best thing I've ever experienced. I hear so many people talk about the teenage years being the hardest part of parenting, but for me, this is the best it has ever been. I am absolutely so in love with this phase of my parenting journey and so in love with these two humans who I now just allow to be fully themselves.
And I really want this for you too.
I'm so excited to be able to share everything I've learned through messing up big time with my own kids and learning the hard way, from my 16 plus years working with Teens as an Educator, Coach, and Mentor, and through all the education, training, certifications, books I've read, and research I've done on these topics, to bring you the latest in parenting tools, neuroscience backed methodologies for creating positive change, and trauma informed coaching practices to guide you through the journey of healing and raising yourself, so you can show up in the best way and as the best parent you can be for your kids.
