What is HELD?
A 10-week private coaching container for parents who are capable, competent, and committed
but feel tired, overwhelmed, or weighed down by expectations.
This is not generic parenting advice.
This is nervous system support, mindset rewiring, emotional grounding, and practical strategy — designed for you as the parent.
Because when you feel safe, your kids feel safe.
And when you have someone to come to first… you become the parent they come to first.
Let me hold space for you to let it all down — so you can breathe, rest, and rise again.
You’ve carried everyone else long enough.
It’s your turn to be held
You're Doing all the Right Things
but it still feels heavier than it should
You show up, you sacrifice, you learn, you try.
And yet…
- You’re exhausted
- You question yourself
- You feel guilty for struggling
- You’re trying to break generational patterns without anyone supporting you through it.
You're trying to give your kids safety, stability, comfort, and compassion.
But when you start to crack… who gives that to you?
You deserve a place where you get to be the one who is held.
What HELD Gives You
The three things every strong parent needs — but rarely receives.
1. A safe place to fall apart
Not judged. Not analyzed. Not shamed.
Just… held.
You get to unload the feelings you never say out loud.
2. A way to rebuild your confidence
Not by “trying harder” — but by understanding your triggers, healing old stories, and becoming grounded from the inside out.
3. A clearer, calmer way to lead your family
When a parent heals, the home transforms.
Your kids get a steadier, softer, more open version of you — the one you’ve been trying so hard to be.

There is a cost to staying in survival mode.
There is a cost to keeping it all inside.
To being the strong one with no place to land.
To reacting instead of responding because your nervous system is maxed out.
To feeling unseen, unsupported, and stretched thin.
And there is a cost — a real one —
to your kids not knowing if they can come to you when it matters most.
Not because you don’t love them.
Not because you’re not trying.
But because you don’t have the emotional support you need to show up as the parent you want to be.
Held is perfect for you if…
- You’re the emotional anchor of your home — and it’s starting to wear on you.
- You love your kids fiercely but feel overwhelmed, short-tempered, or tapped out.
- You’re trying to parent differently than you were raised… without a model to follow.
- You want your kids to feel safe coming to you — not scared, hesitant, or burdened.
- You wish you had someone to talk honestly with who gets it.
- You’re ready to stop surviving and start leading from a grounded, confident place.
I’m Carrien
— parent coach, trauma-informed guide, mother of six(some with autism, ADHD), Yoga teacher, and someone who has spent 15 years helping parents become the steady, connected, resilient leaders their families need.
But more importantly? I’m someone who makes parents feel safe.
My coaching isn’t about judging or fixing you. It’s about giving you a place to breathe… a place where you get to stop being the strong one for a moment… a place to reset and rise again with clarity and confidence.
I bring compassion, structure, and lived experience from guiding hundreds of families through trauma, overwhelm, conflict, and emotional exhaustion into calmer, more connected homes.
If you’re longing for support that actually holds you — so you can show up as the parent you were meant to be — Held was made for you.
I only have space for 3 more parents before the end of the year
This is deep, attentive work.
I keep the container small on purpose.
When these three spots are filled, the next opening won’t be for several months.
If your heart is whispering that you need this… please don’t wait.
Frequently Asked Questions
“I’m already overwhelmed. Do I really have time for this?”
Absolutely — and that’s the whole point.
Held is designed for the parent who is already stretched thin.
You’re not adding another task to your list; you’re creating a space that actually makes everything on your list easier to carry.
Most parents tell me:
“This one hour a week gives me the clarity and calm I’ve been missing for years.”
You don’t need more time — you need more support.
Held gives you that.
“What if I can’t commit every week?”
Held is flexible.
Sessions are scheduled around your real life — kids, work, surprises, messy days and all.
If something comes up, we reschedule.
You will not “fall behind.”
This isn’t a program you complete — it’s support you receive.
“What exactly happens in a coaching session?”
Think of it like this:
You bring what’s heavy.
I help you carry it.
And together, we find your next right step.
Sessions usually include:
- Nervous system grounding
- Untangling what’s overwhelming
- Personalized strategies for what’s happening in your home
- Emotional support for you, the parent behind the scenes
- Clear steps you can use right away
You leave each call feeling lighter, steadier, and more capable.
“Is this therapy?”
No — and it doesn’t replace therapy.
Held is coaching, which means:
- Forward-focused
- Practical
- Strategy + emotional support
- Actionable steps you can integrate immediately
Held gives you:
A place to be human, fall apart a little, and get direct support as a parent.
“What if I’m embarrassed about how things feel at home right now?”
I promise you — you’re not too much, your situation isn’t too messy, and you will never be judged here.
Most parents whisper their hardest truths to me:
- “I feel like I’m failing.”
- “I love my kid, but I’m overwhelmed.”
- “I’m scared I’m messing them up.”
You’re not alone.
Held exists because parenting is hard and you deserve someone safe to hold space for you through it.
“I’m strong. I should be able to do this on my own.”
You are strong.
Strong people still need support — in fact, they’re usually the ones who have gone the longest without it.
You hold everyone else.
Held is where you get held.
Asking for help doesn’t weaken you.
It steadies you.
“Can this really make a difference in just 10 weeks?”
Yes — because we focus on the things that move the needle:
- Your nervous system
- Your confidence
- Your parenting identity
- Your connection with your child
- Your responses instead of reactions
- Your emotional support
When a parent shifts from overwhelmed to grounded, everything in the home changes.
Every. Single. Thing.
“What if the price feels like a stretch?”
This is a gentle but honest question:
What is the cost of staying overwhelmed, unsupported, and unsure?
What is the emotional toll of trying to handle everything alone?
Held is intentionally priced far below what weekly private coaching and unlimited support normally cost — because I want it to be accessible and transformational.
Many parents tell me:
“This was the first decision I made for myself in years — and it changed everything.”
If your heart is saying “yes,” we’ll make the logistics work.
“What if I get nervous about being vulnerable?”
You won’t be pushed, rushed, or exposed.
You set the pace.
Your comfort matters.
My job is to create a space where you can finally stop being the strong one for a moment, breathe, and let someone help you shoulder the weight.
Everything that you share is held with care and kept completely private.
“What if I say yes… and it actually works?”
Then in 10 weeks:
- You’ll feel steadier.
- Your home will feel safer, softer.
- Your reactions will become responses.
- Your child will trust you more.
- You’ll trust yourself more.
- You’ll stop feeling alone in your parenting.
You deserve that.
Your children deserve the grounded, supported version of you.
And it’s closer than you think.
“What if I have more questions?”
No problem. Jump on a quick call with me and we'll talk about it. Just email me at carrien@shelaughsatthedays.com
What if it doesn't end up being a good fit?
Try the first call — if you don’t leave feeling lighter and clearer, you get your money back. No questions asked.
How do I schedule my appointments?
Upon purchasing coaching, you'll receive an email within 24 hours to schedule weekly times for your appointments, that work for your busy schedule.
You’ve been strong for so long.
Let someone be strong for you now.
You don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t have to keep pushing through exhaustion, doubt, guilt, or fear.
You get to be human.
You get to be supported.
You get to be held.
And when you are…
you rise.
Your home rises.
Your children rise with you.
