Your Parenting Coach: More about Amanda Irtz

In 2017, as an assistant principal at a middle school, I took pride and found joy in my role which instilled a sense of accomplishment. However, supporting my students became burdensome and left me emotionally drained with nothing left for my own children. But, my divorce made me realize that I needed to shift my approach as a parent and professional. I wanted to become the best version of myself for my kids and make confident parenting decisions alone. My 22 years of educational experience inspired me to combine my insights with parental guidance and transformed my parenting style. I found that meaningful conversations led to special moments with my children, building stronger relationships and overcoming moments of self-doubt. I believe in myself now more than ever before and know that powerful parenting tools exist to offer our children something unique and invaluable - no matter how tough it may get!
