  Raising yourself

  Jan 2021 - now

  Hi! I’m Shelly Robinson. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a mom of two, founder of Raising Yourself, certified family wellness coach, author of the Rebirth Journal, and creator behind the Connected Collection, a powerful bundle of transformational parenting tools. I’m also a lover of tacos, coffee enthusiast, Enneagram 2, ENFJ, and a neuro-spicy (hello ADHD diagnosis at 43 years old), homeschooling mama. My top three values are authenticity, humor, and integrity. My Story:Over a decade ago as a new mom, I viscerally recall leaving a restaurant with my screaming, thrashing 2-year-old, and instead of being concerned with how consciously I responded or how I supported his emotional needs in that moment, I was horrified that perfect strangers in this establishment would think I was a “bad mom” who didn’t have her kid “under control.”Back then, I unconsciously believed that a child’s behavior reflected how well (or not) someone parented.ShellyThat scene in the restaurant was the beginning of an unraveling for me. I remember leaving that day wondering why I unconsciously prioritized caring so much about what a bunch of people whom I didn’t know thought about me over-tending to my child’s emotional distress. Oof.Since then, I have taken my lived and professional experience as a coach and mother and made it my mission to educate and equip parents with the knowledge, tools, and support they deserve to reparent themselves, break cycles, and better understand the relationship between their childhoods and the way they parent.Learn more about the collection of parenting tools I’ve curated to help you grow a new way of parenting. ----> KidToolkit.com <------ Show less
