Feel Like You're Walking On Eggshells With Your 8–12 Year Old Daughter?

One moment she’s snuggling you on the couch. The next? She’s slamming her bedroom door like you’re her worst enemy. Tween girls aren't just moody — their brains are under construction, their social world is exploding, and you’re stuck in the middle without a map. Let’s change that.

Trusted by moms of tweens who have been where you are and tried everything else.

I create a clear roadmap for moms just like you, with tools designed specifically for the beautiful chaos of raising girls between 8–12. Let's find the calm in her storm, and yours too.

I'm Sarah.
I've Been Where You Are

You’ve picked her up off the ball field, taped that poster to her bedroom door, or helped her glue a zillion tiny beads to a piece of poster board. You know how to parent. This isn’t your first rodeo. But this new, ever-shifting territory is something else entirely.

The beautiful chaos of raising girls is that nothing can fully prepare you for the toddler tantrums and teenage rebellion, but the stage in between—the tween years—is often the one that leaves moms feeling the most isolated and confused. I’ve been there.

FINALLY, A ROADMAP FOR THE FORGOTTEN YEARS

Why Girls Aged 8–12 Need Their Own Playbook
