Conscious Parenting
We all do the best we can with the knowledge we have and the resources available to us. There often comes a time, when none of that feels like enough.
Do any of these statements resonate with you?
I feel like my kids are intentionally ignoring or defying me.
I’m exhausted from daily battles about everything!
I want to adopt gentle or responsive parenting practices but my kids behavior makes it so hard to keep my cool.
I need the confidence to parent in a way that may conflict with my family’s views.
I want to be progressive, but am scared that I’ll be too permissive.
If so, I’d love to support you! My passion is supporting parents, particularly black moms who want to end the cycle of frustration, yelling and ineffective punishments, to parent and effectively discipline in conscious and connected ways.

From Science of Reading to Humanity-Centering, Brain-based Literacy Instruction
Saturday, March 23rd 12pm EST With Nikolai Pizarro
Are you ready to revolutionize literacy instruction and empower young minds? Join Nikolai (@Raising Readers) for an enlightening 90-minute session that will redefine the way you approach teaching literacy at all stages, as parents and educators.
In this transformative class, we delve beyond traditional methods, recognizing that literacy isn't just about reading words—it's about unlocking potential. Nikolai introduces a groundbreaking framework that seamlessly integrates the science of reading with the science of human development.
Forget cookie-cutter approaches. Her human-centered approach prioritizes individuality, nurturing each child's unique strengths while fostering essential literacy skills. By embracing this holistic perspective, caregivers and educators alike can ensure literacy becomes a tool for liberation, empowering children to thrive both academically and emotionally. Don't miss this opportunity to revolutionize your practice. Join the community to be part of this conversation.
Decolonize Your Parenting with Yolanda Williams
Friday, February 23rd, 3:30pm EST
In this empowering class, we'll navigate the uncomfortable yet essential process of decolonizing your parenting approach and divesting from the grips of white supremacy. Shedding these toxic narratives ingrained in us, helps to foster deeper connections and intentional relationships with our children.
Learn how to unpack the complexities behind why oppressive parenting practices persist despite your earnest desire to parent more consciously.
We'll also explore the unique challenges of solo parenting and/or parenting with limited support.
It’s time to rewrite the narrative and create a nurturing environment where understanding, empathy, and conscious choices thrive.

Community
One of the biggest challenges of conscious parenting, beyond the act of parenting consciously, is the feeling that you’re doing it alone. You’re probably always wondering:
Am I on the right track? Is this working? Should it be this hard?
Is my child typical? Are their behaviors normal?
What does it look like in action?
It is natural to want to bounce ideas off of like-minded people, share challenges, and successes, learn how conscious parenting looks when different people apply it, or just feel heard. But many of us find ourselves completely isolated on this journey. Not only are we the only ones we know attempting to break cycles, and parent in more conscious ways, but we also face criticism and judgement from family and friends about our parenting choices.
In these monthly conversations and classes, I will present on a parent-related topic or invite a guest to present, answer questions, and converse amongst group members to help empower you and remind you that you are not alone on this journey. See upcoming and previous topics below.
Recordings of all sessions, along with related resources are always available in the community.

Conscious Parenting Services
I help moms who may be the first generation attempting to break generational cycles of harsh parenting techniques, to transform the relationships with their children from combative to connected.
With my support, you will:
Uncover and do the self-healing work to manage your triggers.
Identify the cultural and systemic mindsets that impact your parenting style.
Learn research based strategies to discipline and parent more effectively,
Be confident that you are giving your child the life-long skills they need to be happy.
Statistically, the average parent begins hitting their kids at age 2. It is my goal to reach parents before they choose to control their children’s behavior in this manner. My services include:
Group Coaching
One-on-one coaching
Live and Virtual workshops
See details below.
“Joy is a patient and empathetic facilitator/educator. When I took the conscious parenting workshop, she made room for our stories and identified with them, and then narrowed in on exactly what we’re asking, rather than going on about abstract theories to show how much she knows. For someone with so much knowledge and information, she is incredibly accessible and humble. She has that unusual quality that makes you want to hear every thing she has to say about all parts of life, and mad at the clock because the time is almost up.”
-Katie, Conscious and Connected Discipline workshop participant
