For the mother who wants to trust herself enough to handle the hardest moments inside her day to day.
For the mother who wants to trust herself enough to handle the hardest moments inside her day to day.
You already pause in those moments when your kids are driving you nuts by fighting over the same toy..
or your husband comes home and immediately leaves his boots in the middle of the floor..
right after you just went around and picked up blocks that got scattered everywhere with your cranky toddlers who resisted helping..
all while you’re just trying to get dinner cooked.
It's just not sticking.
You already know your rage isn’t caused by anyone, and instead it's from inside you, just getting ignited by the simple things your children do that drives you nuts.
And still, no matter how many times you catch yourself..
You still end up feeling the pressure build every time someone has a tantrum or something gets spilled or you just wish you had enough time to go pee.
THIS IS NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE A "BAD MOM", you are overwhelmed.
By being here with a readiness to break the cycle and choose parenting with patience, you are ready to tend to yourself to make it happen.
THIS MAKES YOU A GOOD ONE.
I am the Mom Rage Mentor and creator of the Pause Method.
I am a mom to 2 little toddlers, a military wife, and basically embody a hobbit most of the time.
And I used to be the yelling mom.
My greatest desire is to raise kids who are self assured, know their worth, and can handle mistakes and disappointments.
I knew that this was only going to be possible if I learned how to do it for myself first and be consistently bringing patience and calm into our day to day.
And you know it too.
That if you could cross the bridge from
constantly burning out while trying to hide your reactions of rage..
To instead allowing your rage to flow without hurting your children, you would consistently respond the way you envision yourself.
With a steadiness that would ground your whole family.
I completely understand the tightness in the chest, the fogginess as you try to see past the frustration, and then the out of body rage where you snap out something you never wanted to say and regret immediately.
I also know how completely freeing it is when you stop fighting your rage to constantly "stay calm" and instead know exactly what to do with it.
This work isn’t about learning how to pause, because you are already doing that part.
It's about learning exactly what to do AFTER you make that pause so that it actually works, and you are responding to your kids calmly.
You are here because:
You feel exhausted all the time, meanwhile you always thought you would cultivate a home full of curiosity and connection.
You already admit you are often overstimulated, but you want to break the cycle of what should and shouldn’t be allowed inside their childhood.
You feel disconnected from yourself, your body, and your instincts as a mother but you're ready to come back into yourself so your responses start coming from presence.
You’re honestly terrified that one day, your kids will flinch when they look at you when you always thought you'd break the cycle.
The truth you’re living now is you’ve spent your whole life trying to be the calm one, the nice one, the “don’t rock the boat” one.
Even as a kid you got comments like “wow you’re so mature” or “you’re so well behaved”.
Or
You were raised to be responsible for adult things like cooking, cleaning, and childcare of others early in life, leaving you with expectations that your child operate like you did, even though you want to raise them differently.
Either way, we all know…
Motherhood exposed what your childhood taught you to hide.
Now though, there is a safe way to figure this out!
Siblings fighting over the same toy for the third time,
toddler yelling mommy on repeat,
toy thrown past your face,
countless needs on your mental list,
children refusing to eat dinner after spending an hour making it…
and add in any other spontaneous family festivity of the season (because why not)
Yet this time, your chest doesn’t tighten.
You know why your rage is rising.
You recognize the needs your mind and body is demanding that is fueling the fire.
You can see exactly what to do with the rising frustration so you can regulate inside the moments that are triggering you.
And at this point you have skills to trust yourself to respond.
Skills that only take 2 minutes max to implement.
MORE MOMENTS GET TO LOOK LIKE THIS:
Connecting with your kids without the tension of waiting for the next eruption, so you can actually teach them what you are wanting from them, staying present through the mess, the questions, and the pushback instead of rushing to control it just to make the feeling stop.
Safely validating the energy of the rage within you, while responding grounded in patience, calm, presence, and the embodiment of the mother you want to be rather than trying to manage your emotions while parenting at the same time.
Remembering during the heat of the moment that emotions are just energy-in-motion, so you get to release the guilt you feel and take a pause immediately.
Getting to choose how you want to parent all throughout your day, every day so you can break the cycle.

TESTIMONIALS FROM THIS WORK:
“I stepped into The Pause Portal because I could feel both my kids and I deserved more than me trying to break generational cycles on my own. I became a parent before I became a mother, when I started raising my godson 5 years ago. This is when the rage started building in me, from lack of privacy, having to build a routine into our day to day life that included entertaining and having the responsibility of parenting an 8 year old… was jolting and drudged up a lot of unresolved childhood things I could understand, but felt guilt for. Now I have my daughter who is 3, a pre-homeschooler, and I’m running 2 businesses on my own; I felt the same rage percolate when she’d push me, yell at me “mommy” repeatedly, or throw her food. So to say, I’m so glad I joined Sadie when I did, is an understatement! It’s all for my kids… and I now have a grip on why I’m pausing, and I’m learning what to do with the energy that comes up from my gut… instead of letting it boil over as ‘mad at my kids’ - because underneath it, I’ve always known that wasn’t all of it. I’m proud of this step to move beyond just admitting it quietly to myself and allowing myself an outlet and opportunity to process this reality for those of us parenting differently while reparenting ourselves too. I hope other mothers find this work and apply it, the peace of mind is on the other side."

“I’ve become more aware of when and why my rage is bubbling up, and have paid attention to the needs behind it, tending to them to the best of my ability. My kid has been really intense and simply asking him what he needs opens a window for us to meet each other at our own level. He can verbalize better because he feels heard and seen and if he needs to hit or bite we’re now finding ways to release that energy in a healthy way”
“I see myself like the full embodiment of a woman who has been through some fire, and came out whole on the other side. I love this space. It is about how you're becoming really real as a mom.”
“I found it quite astounding that our words have power, and the more I tap into that truth, the more conscious I'll become. And how I'm using my mouth? My tone of voice and how it's affecting my son. I've broken generational curses.”
“I felt this complete inner shift. And trusting that what I'm doing and how I'm showing up and what I'm choosing is right for me”
When you catch yourself saying,
“Something needs to change”
I want you to know you are not broken and rage is not the problem;
The avoidance of that emotion is what’s hurting you.
You deserve to be seen Mother to Mother… Avoidance is the resistance you cannot name and I’m here to say
“Shame is not necessary”
It’s Time!
When you stop fighting your fire and start learning from it so you are choosing how to parent again & again.
