Learning to Lead With Love Starts Here
Parenting is one of the most meaningful and challenging journeys we will ever take. Yet without conscious effort, even our best intentions can create conflict instead of connection.
Most of us were taught to parent in an authoritarian way, to control rather than guide. That approach leads to frustration, power struggles, and distance. It leaves parents feeling discouraged and children feeling misunderstood.
The truth is, parents love their children unconditionally. But disconnection happens when a child perceives that love as conditional, when approval, affection, or acceptance seem tied to their behavior. Until we recognize how our responses might unintentionally reinforce that perception, we continue repeating painful patterns from our own childhoods.
It’s Never Too Late to Reconnect
No matter what your relationship with your child looks like right now, there is always hope. You can rebuild connection, trust, and cooperation even if things feel tense, distant, or stuck.
None of us start out knowing exactly how to parent. We have dreams, goals, and good intentions, but daily stress, exhaustion, and the demands of raising children can quickly overwhelm them. The good news is that there is another way. A way that balances love with leadership, warmth with structure, and compassion with clarity.
Hello! I'm Sarah Black
My work as a parenting coach is driven by two deep loves — my love for parents and my love for children.
I want to help parents rediscover the joy of raising their children, not just survive the hard parts. Parenting is not meant to be endured. It can be filled with laughter, connection, and ease. Imagine feeling calm and confident even in your child’s most challenging moments. That is possible, and I want to help you get there.
My love for children is at the heart of everything I do. As a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach, I have spent years working closely with kids, watching them navigate big emotions, frustration, and growth. On the mats, I see how much children want to do well and how capable they are when given guidance that is both loving and consistent. Those moments remind me that behavior is communication, an invitation for connection, not correction.
Once I experienced what it was like to build relationships with children rooted in trust, understanding, and care, I became passionate about helping parents do the same at home. I believe every child deserves to be guided in love. When we model repair, honesty, and compassion, we teach our children that they are safe to be imperfect and still deeply loved.
I know you want to be a peaceful, connected parent. Together, we can reimagine your relationship with your child and create a foundation built on awareness, empathy, and lasting connection.
Choosing the Third Door
Many of us were raised within two familiar models of parenting.
One door door leads to harsh, controlling parenting, where boundaries exist but are enforced through fear and power. Both doors come from love, but neither creates the balance children truly need to thrive.
The second leads to permissive parenting, where fear of disconnection keeps parents from holding boundaries, leaving the child without the comfort of clear leadership.
There is another way — a third door.
Through the Third Door, parenting becomes a space of high warmth and high expectations. It is where boundaries are held firmly and consistently, but always with love. It is where parents lead with patience, kindness, and compassion, even during the hardest moments. This approach builds trust, confidence, and emotional safety, allowing both parent and child to grow together in connection.
When parents discover the Third Door, they often feel relief. The constant tug-of-war between control and chaos begins to ease, replaced by clarity and calm. You begin to see your child not as someone to manage, but as someone to understand, guide, and teach.
If you are ready to step through the Third Door, I will meet you with empathy, understanding, and practical support. Together we will create a plan that helps your family thrive in love, structure, and peace.

How It Works:
When you book a call with me, we’ll sit down together and talk so I can get a sense of what’s going on for you and your family and where I can offer support.
I’ll explain my approach and the options we have for working together. You can ask any questions you have and see what type of support would be the best fit for your life and schedule.
If it feels right to you, we can book our first session and get started. If it’s not a good fit, I will do my best to offer alternative resources or suggestions for support, wherever possible. There’s no pressure of any kind, simply an opportunity to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Let's Talk!
Set up a time for us to meet, so that you can stop blaming yourself. And instead take the first step towards becoming the kind of parent you know you can be.
