Motherhood changed seasons.
Learn to grow in this one.

I help thoughtfully weird moms like you grow a life outside the script,
one steady season at a time.

Motherhood changed seasons, and with it, everything you thought you knew.
​
Maybe you’re heading back to work and feeling certain and unsure at once.

Maybe the kids are finally in school full-time, and the quiet feels more like lost than free.

Maybe they need you less now, and the space they left is feeling empty.

​Each change shakes loose how you parent and who you are.
And when the life you were shown doesn’t fit, it’s hard to know what to plant instead.​

You’re in a season you haven’t learned to weather. Yet.

The changing seasons of motherhood leave us feeling

uprooted.

​

  • You question whether you’re a
    good parent
     

  • You think, “I have so many parenting tools. Why is this still so hard?”
     

  • You’ve weathered hard seasons before, but this one feels different
     

  • You tried following the path you were shown, but in this season it doesn't fit
     

  • You're ready to grow something different. Something yours.

I will coach you to grow in
this season.

You’ll learn to grow in the season you’re in, instead of longing for the one you wish you were in.
 

Together we cultivate the sturdy practices that bring steadiness now and in every season to come,

​

 We use my Resilient Tree Framework, because trees have weathered seasons far longer than we have.

Root: Root into your values and
your connections.
Nourish: Nourish yourself through sturdy practices -- small, consistent actions that feed you in this season.
Branch: Try new things when you’re ready, and not before.

"I have grown in my ability to trust myself. Not only do I have more practical tools to navigate difficulties, but I have also developed new thinking patterns and an ability to approach highs and lows with curiosity and self-compassion."

Abigail, Coaching Client

Here's what steadiness looks like when you put the Resilient Tree Framework into action:

Hi, I'm Krista.

And I'm a thoughtfully weird mom.

I spent my early parenting years trying to fit into the script of motherhood, but it never fit. I’ve lived through many seasons that didn’t follow it:

​

  • I didn’t enjoy “mom group,” so I learned to cultivate my own support system.

  • I was a foster parent, and my kids’ needs meant my parenting looked different.

  • I worked part-time and stayed home part-time: not enough work for working moms, and not enough home time for
    stay-at-home moms.

  • I birthed my babies at home, and my second baby was born during the height of the pandemic (NOT normal).

  • I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, and my capacity for doing "mom things" dropped.

  • I switched my kids’ schools a few times, when the places we were didn’t fit.

  • I started a business with young kids in school part-time.

  • I'm the proud mom of a nonbinary child.
     

Each of these seasons had me searching for support and longing for steadiness in the midst of change. And each season I asked the same question: “How do I become the mom I want to be?”
 

I never found a roadmap. What I found is that steadiness grows the way it does for trees: by rooting into your values and connections, nourishing yourself through sturdy practices, and branching out when you’re ready.
 

I started in the classroom as a teacher. Now I’m a Life Transitions Coach, and I created the Resilient Tree Framework to help thoughtfully weird moms like you grow a life outside the script.
 

If you’re ready for steadiness in this season, and every season to come, let’s grow something new together.
