Are the challenges of parenting outweighing the joy?
Have your dreams of family life been better than the current reality?
Let’s make parenting align with your dreams and values.
An outstanding investment in myself…
“Participating in this workshop was an outstanding investment in myself. As mothers, we often neglect our own dreams in favor of supporting our loved ones. At Amy’s suggestion, I carved out a morning to participate and was truly delighted with the outcome. Amy skillfully created a safe and supportive environment as we explored, and ultimately defined, what is most important to each of us. In addition to more clearly identifying dreams and goals, I paused from my busy life to connect with my own self. With Amy leading the charge, you are always in gifted hands and in good company. I highly recommend this delightful retreat day.”
What is family culture?
From a biological standpoint, “to culture” means to maintain cells in conditions suitable for growth. Likewise, family culture can create conditions suitable for the healthy growth of our children.
In our day-to-day life, “family culture” can mean the ways of life shared within your household – the customs, morals, codes, and traditions.
Families don’t tend to discuss their culture and yet they expect everyone to know what’s expected and accepted.
How can I create the family culture I want?
Each family is unique, and YOU have the power to build your particular culture to help your children grow into adults you enjoy
The parents I work with bring me in because they want to make their home life feel more enjoyable — without knowing that what they really want to do is work on their family culture.
What will I get from the Family Culture & 2024 Kickoff Retreat?
In just four hours together – through individual and group reflection, direct teaching, and a transformational guided meditation – you will gain:
Like a miracle…
“Although it took me a lot of practice in the first couple of months to get used to saying my mantra when a situation called for it, it helped me transform my interactions and relationship with my child for the better, almost like a miracle! There is now more peace and order at home. So, Thank you Amy for having me join you in that workshop. Super appreciated!”
Greatly enjoyable catalyst for my personal growth…
“I have attended 3 of Amy Behrens’s ‘Designing Your Life’ workshops and found them to be a greatly enjoyable catalyst for my personal growth. Amy is a highly knowledgeable and skilled facilitator, an attentive, understanding listener, and a thoughtful, compassionate group leader. Amy provides a peaceful environment where I feel safe to express myself honestly. I look forward to her groups and plan to continue attending her ‘Designing Your Life’ workshops in future as a great way to clarify my goals each year.”
We feel closer as a family…
“Amy helped us learn to collaborate with our child more often to get his input on difficult situations, like morning routines, which helps him invest in the solutions. We also have more productive conversations with him when we process difficulties because we have a framework. We feel closer as a family. Amy is non-judgmental and easy-going, which makes being vulnerable enough to make real changes easier. Her humor, practical approach and excellent questions made all the difference. Coaching with Amy has been one of the best investments we’ve made.”

How can I make the time for this? I’m so busy already!
What if 4 hours of time enjoying yourself with other parents saved you endless hours of recovering from fights, misunderstandings, and plans that went awry?
Imagine that this new year was one of the best years you’ve had with your family in a while? You will save time by learning and growing yourself so that you can help your family grow, too.
Think outside the box: Ask a neighbor to do a kid swap or hire a babysitter if your kids aren’t in school. If you’re working, ask your boss (even if you’re your own boss) for some time to devote to your family’s happiness this coming year. As Marie Forleo says, “Everything is figuroutable.”
