Why Do the Same Parenting Struggles Keep Happening—No Matter What You Try?

 
Discover what's really driving the struggles—and learn the timeless principles that finally bring the clarity, connection, and confidence you've been searching for.


Do you have moments like this? 

 “I feel like I’m stuck in the same battle every single day.”

Doubting: “Am I helicopter parenting or just being supportive?”

Thinking “Other parents seem to have it figured out—what am I missing?”

The constant second-guessing is exhausting. Parenting today can feel overwhelming even without the self-doubt.

These days it's not just tantrums and homework.
 Now we’re juggling anxiety, school refusal, screen-time battles, social media storms, and kids who speak fluent Internet.

 Next up? Gen Beta explaining their desperate need for their own AI-powered robot assistant—because “Everyone else has one!”

As if that’s not enough no matter how determined we are not to, we still end up yelling—and when we do,
 we can sound exactly like our parents.

Empower The Parent; Empower The Children offers a joyful way forward through it all.  And it’s not what you might think.

Here’s What You Need To Know

 

It starts with recognizing that many parenting struggles aren’t really about screen time, bedtime, or attitude. Those are just the surface stories.
The real challenge lies deeper — in the inherited patterns that have shaped parenting for generations.

 The same patterns your parents faced, just with different topics.

These patterns are what keep you reacting, doubting, and wondering if you’re getting it wrong.

What Parents Are Saying

Hannah, New Zealand

The course touches on pertinent topics so relevant to the parenting journey. I particularly enjoyed the self-care chart which got me thinking about how I can feed all of my bodies so that I can give to my child from a full cup. And not only so that I can give to my child, but also for my own benefit and enjoyment of life!

I also really appreciated the information that came out of episode 6 about the morphogenetic field and how simple it can be to make shifts for generational threads that can have such an impact in the present. Thank you Zahra and team! Keep going! 

Satu, Finland

Zahra, Thank you. I enjoyed it all, but most of all, I loved the Messages From The Children. I could never listen to the messages from the children without tears in my eyes because it was so touching. Further I liked the idea of listening to four people on each lesson, because each of you always brought different perspectives. Things from your course pop up in my mind and help me to guide my actions in different situations long after I have listened to it.""
