So you say you're feeling overwhelmed by this whole parenting thing? Your child is intense, strong-willed, has big emotions, and you are just hanging on?

And they're so full of advice, but it just doesn't work for your child. Welcome, friend. The Lifeline is my weekly-ish email for parents just like you. You are not alone, and you don't have to grit your teeth and just get through it. You can change the dynamic within your family. You can reclaim your life. One day at a time. One email at a time.

Ep. #115: A Life Update

Hello Reader, This isn’t a typical podcast, but then, this hasn’t been a typical month for us. I took an unplanned break from recording new episodes, and I wanted to take the time today to share a little bit about what’s been going on for us and why a break was necessary. Going forward, I will publish occasional podcast episodes, but they definitely won’t be weekly. Make sure you are subscribed to the podcast and receiving notifications for new episodes so you don’t miss out when I do release one. I mentioned in the episode that we recently signed my daughter up for tapouts. Tapouts offers weekly group coaching sessions for kids at a very reasonable price. If you’re interested in exploring this option for your child, you can sign up for a free consult here AND get 50% off your first month. It is an affiliate link, so if you use it we both win - you get 50% off, and I get a referral bonus. Finally, even though I won’t be podcasting as often, I will still be coaching. You can schedule your free consultation (and learn more about my tiered pricing options) right here. If you’re even remotely considering it, I’d encourage you to get the process started as soon as possible. With my renewed homeschooling commitments, I am very close to fully booked and needing to start a waitlist. Your partner in parenting, Julia McGarey |

Hello Reader, My daughter had roller derby camp this week. This is something she's wanted to do since last summer after reading the Roller Girl graphic novel. She's practiced, watched youtube videos, attended junior derby bouts, and signed up for camp. Camp T-Shirt It was all very exciting until the weekend before camp arrived. Suddenly, roller derby wasn't her thing. It was something her old self liked, but not anymore. She didn't want to be the worst one there. She didn't want to be the...
Hello Reader, My fingers feel a bit rusty as I type this to you this morning. 2025 has been quite a year, hasn't it? And it's only March 1st. When the world is swirling around you, unexpected life changes are cropping up, and your child still needs your support more than ever, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. And it's even worse if your partner isn't on board with your parenting, or your friends have kids who sleep through the night, love going to school, or any other number of things kids are...
Hello Reader, Well, it's 2025, and I've been out of touch. Rather, I've been focused. Focused on creating a homeschool balance that works for us, focused on supporting my clients, and focused on co-creating a school alternative for families in my community. I've come to realize that creating alternatives is my primary form of activism, really, and I have long been an activist at heart. My main purpose with Partnered Path Parenting, for example, is helping families explore alternatives to...
