Progress not Perfection with Parent Coach Maria Suarez

True for You

In my first guest episode, I interviewed my dear friend and parent coach, Maria Suarez on how becoming a parent coach has helped her heal and reinvent herself. Maria authentically and vulnerably shares how her journey has not only brought her closer to her family, but also improved other areas of her life and the lives of her clients. As she tells her clients, the goal is progress not perfection. Whether you're a parent or looking to support and hold space for others in your life, it starts with you!
Maria Suarez became a parenting coach because she wanted a completely different kind of relationship with her children than the one she grew up with. Quite frankly, she was tired of going to bed feeling guilty about what she did or didn’t do (mom guilt is very real). Maria always said, “I will be better tomorrow”. As a former Children’s Librarian, she constantly met parents who felt the same way. Parents felt as if what they did was not enough. The time came for Maria to deliver her promise of doing better “tomorrow”. Once she understood how possible it was to build the relationship with her children that she wanted based on mutual trust more understanding, curiosity, and care, the yelling abated and better communication ensued. Maria's results have made her deeply passionate about supporting other parents in this life-changing work.
As a parenting coach, Maria aims to empower and inspire her clients to navigate challenges at home without resorting to unwanted behaviors such as yelling and losing their minds. She believes that every family has the potential to create positive change in their homes, no matter the age of the children or how difficult the situation is at any given time. Every parent deserves to have a toolkit for success in parenting. Maria is here to support and equip you with the skillset and tools for your personal growth and transformation journey.
Maria's approach to coaching is rooted in evidence based education, emotional awareness, mindfulness, and open communication. She work collaboratively with her clients to help them identify their strengths and limiting beliefs; all the stories we tell ourselves or have been told to us to develop practical strategies for achieving their goals. Maria believes that coaching is a process of self-discovery, and she is committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental space for her clients to explore how they want to show up for themselves and their families.
Maria offers a range of coaching services, including one-on-one coaching sessions, group coaching, and workshops. Contact Maria today to learn more about how she can help you achieve your goals as a parent.
