WHY THIS WORKS
Children don’t just listen to what we say.
They respond to what we feel.
Children borrow the nervous system of the adult in the room.
When you feel overwhelmed → they feel it
When you feel reactive → they feel it
When you feel steady → they feel safe
This program teaches you how to shift that—practically, realistically, in real time.
A Note from Dr. Diana
I'm Dr. Diana Rothermel, a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 25 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, parents, and families.
I've seen how hard it can be to care for your children when you're carrying a lot yourself. I've also navigated divorce in my own life, so I understand how a major change can add another layer of stress to parenting.
I created Strong Parenting in Fragile Seasons for moms who feel overwhelmed and want practical support—whether they're facing a major life change or simply feeling stretched by the demands of everyday parenting. Sometimes we just need a reminder of what is actually important to anchor ourselves back in.
Inside, you'll find tools for difficult moments, guidance for creating more steadiness at home, and encouragement to meet yourself with compassion as you learn.
You don't have to have everything figured out to help your child feel cared for.
You can take this one moment, and one step, at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this program only for mom's going through a divorce?
No. This program is for moms navigating many different kinds of difficult seasons, including divorce, separation, grief, health challenges, burnout, major life transitions, and everyday overwhelm.
The focus is on helping you develop skills to support yourself and your children, regardless of what is creating stress in your life.
What if I don't have time for a six week program.
I understand how full life can feel when you’re caring for everyone else. I created this program with busy moms in mind, so it would feel manageable—not like one more thing you have to keep up with. The videos are short, usually about 2–5 minutes, and you can move through the lessons at your own pace. Take what you need, practice the tools in real-life moments, and come back to the resources whenever they’d help.
The six weeks are simply a guide. I made this to meet you where you are.
Will this help me stop losing my patience with my kids?
If you’ve been snapping more than you want to, you’re not alone—and it doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom. I created this program to help you notice when you’re getting overwhelmed, find a moment to pause, and choose how you want to respond.
The goal isn’t to never feel frustrated or to get it right every time. It’s to have more tools for the hard moments—and to know how to reconnect with your kids when things don’t go the way you hoped.
What if my children are already struggling with what are family is going through?
It’s hard to watch your children struggle, especially when you’re carrying a lot yourself. I created this program to help you support them with more steadiness and care: you’ll explore ways to create emotional safety, stay connected, and talk with them about difficult changes in an age-appropriate way.
The program is educational, so it can’t offer guidance tailored to your child’s individual needs. If you’re concerned about how they’re doing, you have the option of selecting an Parent Strategy Intensive or a Session Support Strategy at checkout.
Is this therapy?
No. Strong Parenting in Fragile Seasons is a research-informed educational parenting program. It is not therapy, clinical treatment, or a substitute for individualized mental health services.
How does self-paced work?
The program is organized into six weeks, with a new week of lessons becoming available every seven days. You can choose when to watch the short videos and work through the activities during each week—there’s no set time of day to log in. Week 3 includes four brief lessons designed to be explored one day at a time. You can revisit the materials whenever you need a reminder or support.
Can I get a refund if I am not happy with the program?
No. All sales are final. The program provides tools and guidance, but putting them into practice is your responsibility. Your progress depends on your effort and willingness to engage with the lessons; I can teach the skills, but I can’t apply them for you or guarantee a particular result.
Kids don’t need perfect parents.
They need you present, regulated, and emotionally available.
You’ll learn how to:
- 🌿 Calm your emotions before they spill into parenting
- 🌿 Build stability with simple, repeatable routines
- 🌿 Communicate honestly without overwhelming your child
- 🌿 Model resilience through your own growth
Choose the Level of Support That Feels Right for You
Add Personalized Support
Some parents feel confident implementing on their own. Others appreciate focused support. You choose what feels right.
Add-On Option 1: Parent Strategy Intensive
60-Minute Private Parent Strategy Session – Normally $300
(Add at enrollment for $250)
If you’d like personalized guidance tailored to your specific family situation, you can add a private session.
Use your session to:
Apply the material directly to your child
Navigate a specific current challenge
Find words for a difficult conversation
Create a short-term plan for bringing more steadiness into your home
Bring a situation you’re facing right now.
Together, we’ll focus on practical next steps tailored to your family.
Add-On Option 2: 3-Session Support Package
Parent Implementation Accelerator – $797
Three 60 minute calls across the program.
Change takes practice. Three conversations give you space to check in, work through challenges as they arise, and keep applying the program to your family’s needs.
This may be a good fit if you're:
Parenting through an active divorce or separation process
Facing recurring conflict or big emotions at home
Looking for steady, personalized support as you put the tools into practice
This provides deeper integration without committing to long-term therapy.
It is recommended that these calls be scheduled every two weeks for continuity and follow through.
Or, alternatively, once a week, beginning the second week of the program.
These sessions are focused, solution-oriented coaching—not therapy or a substitute for ongoing mental health care.
Parenting through change is not easy—but you don’t have to do it alone.
Strong Parenting in Fragile Seasons was created to help you show up with compassion, calm, and confidence—right where you are.
