Meet the Founder
Hey there! I’m Latariss Payne, and I’m so glad you’re here.
Honestly, being a parent is a beautiful gift, but it can also be a wild ride, right? I know, because I’ve lived through it all – from the days of toddler meltdowns to the unique challenges of raising teens and even having grandkids now. So, trust me when I say I get it – the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Parenting isn’t about perfection; it’s about connection. That’s what I’m here for – to help you strengthen those bonds with your kids in a way that fits your unique family. Every family is different, and I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice. Whether you’re navigating tantrums, trying to get through to your teen, desire a deeper connection with young adult children, or want better communication all around, we’ll figure it out together.
Empathy is at the heart of my approach. If we work together, we’ll talk about real, practical strategies that make sense for your family, and we’ll work toward creating a peaceful, positive home where everyone feels understood and valued.
In my journey, I’ve also been a mentor to young women and spent time leading and supporting kids in my community, especially through organizations like Young Life. My personal motto, “Be the person you needed when you were younger,” guides everything I do, because I’ve been there – and I want to be that support for you.
When I’m not coaching parents, I’m writing or speaking to groups about raising responsible, kind-hearted kids. My passion is to empower parents with the tools they need to raise their children with love and intention.
So, if you’re ready to build a lasting legacy of love in your family, let’s connect. We’re in this together!
