The 2025 Happily Family Conference

The Conference is October 9-13. The presentations are ALL NEW, and it’s totally FREE for 5 days.

The theme for this year is…The Perfectly Imperfect Family: Real Solutions to Calm, Connect & Support Emotional Wellness & Neurodivergence

One of the reasons that this event feels even more important than in the past is that the last several years have been hard on families.

In a coffee shop recently, a mom friend asked me if we need to start parenting differently because of how much the world has changed since we were kids (AI, screens and social media, violence, the political divide, and the increase in mental health struggles and substance use, etc).

My answer to her was basically “no and yes”. The things that Jason and I–and all the speakers at Happily Family Conferences–have been talking about for years are still just as relevant.

• Your relationship with your child matters.
• Kids need belonging, connection, meaning, and purpose.
• They need to be seen, feel secure and safe, and be soothed.
• Kids and parents need communication and community.

AND (this is a big AND)

Parents need to be having new conversations with their kids so that we can help them make sense of the world that we are living in. (Dr. Dan Siegel calls this “sense-making”.)

The Happily Family Conference is the BEST way (that we know of) to

1. Ground you in the science-backed things that we know kids will always need, AND
2. Give you meaningful, timely conversations about issues that you are faced with in your family

Topics in this Conference include:

• Coping skills for kids dealing with worry, perfectionism, overwhelming feelings, or negative self-talk
• Handling parenting triggers to lessen our own stress, frustration, and anxiety
• How to support your child when they’re struggling in school or in life
• Healthy habits for screens and social media

You’ll see amazing returning speakers and incredible leading voices (who contributed to The Perfectly Imperfect Family book), including… Dr. Daniel Siegel and many, many more!

Hop on over to get yourself registered here. It just takes 5 seconds. And it’s FREE!

The conference is NOT about: how to be a perfect parent, feeling guilt or shame, or adding more stuff to your to-do list. The conference IS about: worrying less, having more fun, doing less, letting go of perfectionism, being a “good enough parent”, and knowing that you’re not alone.
