"My daughter told me she’s proud of me for taking this program. I asked her why and she said, 'Because it shows you care about being better at being a mom. You yell less and when we are having big feelings or bad behavior you take us aside to work through our emotions.'."

—Mori Leshem

“I LOVE being coached by you—it has truly made a huge impact in my life. I truly feel that the last few weeks—there has been a “shift”in my life, in the kids, how I parent… it’s been so so so GOOD—and something that I can see we have all benefited from. I can SEE and feel the benefits. Thank you so much.”

Meet Your Coach: Darlynn Childress

“Peace in my home is missing.” This is what I wrote in my journal when my son was 4 years old.

I was struggling as a mom so much back then. I was shocked by my rage, my resentment, my fear, and the sheer overwhelm of it all.

At my lowest point, I finally admitted I needed help. My decision to figure out a different way of being a mom led me on a twisty-turvy road of healing and learning and growing.

I get it. I've done it. And I'm here to guide you on your own twisty-turvy road of healing and learning and growing.

I do this work because I know the feeling of falling into bed at night, flooded with sadness, anger, disappointment, guilt and regret. I've been the mom who scares herself with the depth of her own anger and gets stuck in shame.

I started Calm Mama Coaching because I want to help every mom I can get out of her pain, sadness and overwhelm so she can enjoy her kids and get the peace that's missing.

I've been there, Mama. And I know exactly how to get you the peace and calm and hope and joy that you're craving

“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.”
