The Village
You don't need a perfect parent.
You need a connected & present one.
A monthly gathering on Zoom, and the in-between connection that grows from it — for Naperville-area parents ready to stop doing this alone. Come as you are. Just show up, and be ready to receive.
You don't need to be a perfect parent. You need a village.
A place to belong, to be, and to receive
The Village can look different depending on your week — the belonging doesn't change.
Monthly Zoom Gatherings
90 minutes, once a month, from wherever you are — even the pickup line. One real takeaway is still a win.
A Real Conversation
Not a lecture — Michele and Beth talk it through together, the way two friends who happen to be therapists would, built around one parent's real question.
In-Between Connection
The behind-the-scenes village — parents meeting each other at the playground, and beyond our screens.
"This is your village. We're just part of it."
We won't talk therapy jargon at you, and we won't promise a step-by-step fix. Instead, our toolkit — and a community of parents at every stage — is what comes to your rescue.
2026–27 Calendar
Each month's theme mirrors what we're already exploring at The Centered Life — reframed through the lens of parenting.
"How can I still show up as the parent I want to be when I feel this overwhelmed?"
"How do the patterns I grew up with — especially around authority — quietly shape the way I parent today?"
"How can I help prepare my kid for something new?"
"How do I get through the holidays without running myself into the ground?"
"What do I want to carry into this year — and what am I ready to set down?"
90 minutes, structured loosely on purpose
A Question From a Real Parent
Every session is built around a question submitted by a parent just like you — asked the way you'd actually ask it, not a lecture topic.
Two Therapists, One Conversation
Michele and Beth talk it through together — trading the lead, sharing real examples, thinking out loud the way colleagues do.
One Real Takeaway, Every Time
Not a to-do list. Every session ends with one tangible, practical thing to try before we meet again.
Open Floor
Jump in by voice or drop it in the chat — space to share, or space to just listen if that's what you need tonight.
The next session starts with something real you're facing
Every month's conversation is built around an actual parent question. Send yours in — anonymously if you'd like — and it might shape a future gathering.

"Walk with you, side by side, on your journey to the parent you want to be."
The Village is the support — a monthly touchpoint, a place to belong. Sometimes you also need the guidance: an individualized, practical plan for the exact thing you're working through. That's what coaching is — directive and accountability-driven, one-on-one or with a partner. We're just a piece of your village either way.
Sign Up for Coaching- Available any time — you don't have to wait for a monthly gathering to start.
- Sessions built around your specific goals, not a generic curriculum.
- A concrete plan for the exact thing you want to change.
