One of the key ingredients for helping our teens thrive is creating 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, and the tween and teen years are our final opportunity to take our relationships to the next level and become the parents they need as they head toward their big launch into adulthood.
Parenting is the hardest job on the planet, and we all need support if we don’t want to keep passing down the harmful generational patterns we were taught. Receiving coaching on our parenting journey is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and for our kids. It’s an opportunity to create a whole new paradigm in our home, and that connection becomes a key ingredient in the way our kids feel about themselves and their lives.
Parents of Teens Coaching Circle is a supportive community for parents who want more calm, confidence, and connection in the teen years.
Inside you’ll find practical, connection-first tools to support a teen dealing with anxiety, low confidence, big emotions, motivation struggles, screens, or boundary pushback, without constant power struggles.
You’ll also get a growing Classroom library (video lessons, workshops, and podcast episodes), plus weekly prompts and support threads.
Each month we meet for one Live workshop on Zoom and 2 Parent Coaching Circles where you can come and get personalized coaching support around whatever challenge you might be facing on your parenting journey.
If you want a clear path forward, and steady support along the way, you’re in the right place.

Teen anxiety doesn’t always look the way we expect, and it’s often misunderstood. In this workshop I’m walking you through what’s actually going on for your teen, how it can manifest, and sharing practical ways you can help them find steady ground again.
Kerrick was raised in the Hill Country of Austin, Texas where he studied at the University of Texas. After some travel, he moved to the Rogue Valley of Oregon with a vision to farm and support youth. He completed his Bachelor’s of Science in Applied Cultural Anthropology with Honors in 2004 at Southern Oregon University, and devoted over a decade supporting youth and their families navigate local and state social service programs. During this time, he and his partner cultivated a food forest at their home and founded Verdant Phoenix as an educational mini-farm in 2016.
Verdant Phoenix Farm became an expression of a way of life for Kerrick. He is interested in the relationships between humans, soil, microbes, plants/trees/shrubs, food, culture, time, and the web of life. As these elements inform his horticultural practice, Kerrick enjoys supporting landscapes, gardens, farms, and their people who are interested in belonging to the land.
