How To Handle an Explosive Co-Parent
People often ask me if parenting with compassion “works” even when the co-parent doesn’t practice the same parenting philosophy.
The quick answer is YES!
In this short video you'll learn:
- How to handle an explosive co-parent
- What you can say to the co-parent to make a safer environment for your kids
- What your child needs to hear from you after an incident.
No matter how the other adults in your kid’s life show up, know this. YOU are the ONLY person your child needs in order to become the human they are meant to be. You are enough.
And if you are the explosive parent in your home, I get it.
I was once just like you.
I'll teach you how to normalize your emotions and your reactivity and give you practical tools and strategies so you show up how you want to be as a parent.

I'm the coach who's been there. I've been the yeller...
The raging mom. Who used to get so mad, spit would fly out of her mouth. Now, I have teenagers who enjoy spending time with me, and who I adore. I have the relationship with my kids I always dreamed of.
Plus my kids are emotionally and physically healthy with great relationships with themselves, each other, and their peers.
I’ve done the work, Mama. I’ve read the parenting books, been through all the parent training programs, became a certified life coach, and created a simple parenting process so that YOU can create what you want as a mom without the struggle.
I'm the coach who gets you, which is why I'm so good at helping moms overcome their own feelings to become truly calm, no matter what is happening.
I created a simple parenting process that would help me feel calm, so I could stop yelling, and become the mom I wanted to be.
I took the guesswork out of compassionate parenting and simplified it into 4 simple steps so I could get out of the parenting spiral of yelling, spanking, threats, bribes, commands and lectures.
The Calm Mama Process will help you with…
- Managing your thoughts + emotions so you feel better, no matter what your kids are doing.
- Creating self-confidence so that you believe you are a great mom and drop the guilt and second guessing around your parenting.
- Developing a deeply connected relationship with your child so your child feels your unconditional love and you enjoy spending time together.
- Evaluating parenting moments so that you will always know exactly what to do in your family, + how to adjust your plans if they are not working.
- Clarity on what to do about screens, sweets, sleep, schoolwork, self care and so much more so you have a family rhythm that works for you.
If this is what you’re after… you’re in the right place.
Imagine family dinners that don’t end with tears...
Bedtime routines filled with hugs and kisses, instead of threats and frustrations.
Family vacations that are actually fun.
Getting to school and work on time, with everyone dressed and ready, without stress.
Homework time that goes smoothly.
Screentime rules that work.
Imagine falling asleep each night feeling joy, peace and hope, instead of feeling worried, resentful and disappointed.
“I can’t tell you how grateful I am for every single piece of advice you’ve given me. I have always felt so heard and supported by you. I know that it’s your job, but I never felt like I was your work.”

“Working with Darlynn transformed how I think about parenting. Our whole family life has more ease, even though we tackle tough topics more often. We just came back from a family vacation that was one of the best we've had. I'm a happy parent of two teenage girls! I recommend Darlynn's course to all my friends.”
