There is no feeling of freedom like the one that comes from a sense of control, and there is no sense of control as sweet as mastery over self. That’s why I developed Non-Reactive Parenting. We can’t control our children, we can only control ourselves. So we better learn some emotional regulation. Non-Reactive Parenting can help. We understand that parenthood isn't always a highlight reel, and we're here to support you through the highs, lows, and everything in between.

About

Hi, I'm Megan! As a woman over forty, I contain multitudes, and I resent when traditional online parenting spaces try to put me in a box. I am both completely and more than a parent, with a rich and active interior life. I bet you are, too. Ish Mom is for us. Here, we can satisfy all our affinities: parenting, lifestyle, beauty, relationship, organization and more. We are whole, well-rounded caregivers, and my online space will always treat us as such. Motherhood is rarely the filtered perfection seen online. There are red-letter and white-knuckle days. I know all about it. As a mom of four, I've been there. The sleepless nights, the unexpected challenges, and the moments you question everything. That's why I created Ish Mom. It's a space for honest conversations, less-biased recommendations, and practical strategies rooted in non-reactive parenting (because reacting just leaves everyone more exhausted!).
