Relationship Issues
- You desire to feel understood and energized again, but need support in reconnecting with your partner.
Lack of Time
-
You dream of having more time to spend doing the things that make you light up.
It’s Just Not Fun
-
Are you feeling like what you envisioned parenting to be is not anything like what you’re currently experiencing, and frankly, it’s not fun at all?
If any of this resonates, you are not alone.
The Question Is:
How can we as parents create flow in our lives that takes our family’s basic needs into consideration and at the same time grounds us in a stable and secure environment that nurtures all of the members of the family? What does it mean to be a mindful parent, and how exactly will our children benefit from learning mindfulness at home?
The Mindful Parent Program answers these questions.
INTRODUCING:
The Mindful Parent Program
This hybrid group and 1:1 program is crafted to empower parents in unlocking the boundless potential of mindfulness as they delve into the realm of self-discovery and explore their parenting vision, establish a mindfulness practice, and gain invaluable strategies for fostering a harmonious, mindful family dynamic.
Welcome to
The Mindful Parent Program.
I’m Traci Mausolf, and I’ll be your guide on this journey.
I’m a mindfulness coach for parents and educators, and I am the founder of Thrive With Mindfulness LLC. For 27 years I have worked with children and their parents in the education field, focusing not only on academic success, but also on social-emotional wellbeing.
I completed my mindfulness training program to work with school communities in 2018, and since then I have taught my students mindfulness, offered mindfulness as an after school program, and parent workshops.
In The MIndful Parent Program, I will set you up for parenting success by helping you to develop your mindfulness skills and by teaching you valuable strategies that you can model to your children. I will give you practical tips on how to involve your students in your practice, and how to teach them to be mindful in a playful, intuitive way.
How did this program come to be?
I began my mindfulness journey in 2012, after a long search to find a cure for a skin condition that I had been dealing with for 2 years. Up until then, I had been looking at topical treatments, special foods and herbs to help me heal, and anything external that I thought might just be the ‘magic cure’. It wasn’t until a friend sent me a book for kids written by Deepak Chopra that I made the connection that maybe I might be suffering from high stress levels. That is when I decided to visit the Chopra Center in Carlsbad, CA to learn primordial sound meditation. Within 30 days of beginning my meditation practice, I had not only healed from the skin condition, but I had also noticed many other positive developments in my life. I felt calmer, happier, and more connected to others, especially to my family.
When I discovered that mindfulness was a similar practice to meditation, and that it was a secular practice, I began the certification process for this practice. In doing so, I have also discovered that the combination of practices have helped me to get to know myself on a much deeper level, and how to show up in my life in my best and most authentic version. Not only did it help me as a teacher, but it made a huge difference in how I approach parenting.
One of the most beautiful things about a mindfulness practice is that we learn about the ripple effect. This course is my way of sharing my journey with heart-centered parents just like you, who dream of finding a more connected, nurturing path that allows you to savor YOUR parenting experience and the relationships with YOUR children to the fullest.

What makes The Mindful Parent Program different from other coaching programs out there?
While many popular styles of parenting share the belief that parenting should not be punitive and that parents need to model emotional regulation and focus on the whole child, The Mindful Parent Program actually teaches parents how to establish and sustain a mindfulness practice of their own.
This is the key factor which sets The Mindful Parent Program apart. Because we teach parents how to practice mindfulness themselves, they are able to model and share this practice with their children and weave it into every part of daily family routines.
This creates an atmosphere of safety and trust which is critical in building strong relationships that let kids know that we're there for them - no matter what!
This program includes:
This program includes:
- 8 pre-recorded modules, sent to your inbox one week at a time. With the schedule of busy educators in mind, each pre-recorded session is sent to your inbox on Friday so you will have the weekend to watch it in small, segmented parts, allowing for maximum learning and opportunities to prepare your questions for the live session.
- 8 live group sessions, 60 minutes each. The group session is your opportunity to connect with other parents in the course, tap into accountability and peer support, while also building your mindfulness practice. It can be powerful to practice among peers, allowing you to root into a sense of belonging and fulfillment on this shared path. You’ll also get spot coaching to help you integrate and deepen your practice over time and ensure that you're on the aligned path for you and your goals.
- Post-session video recordings. You will receive access for the recorded live sessions for 6 months after the session, allowing you to refer back to your session whenever you need additional support.
- 1 private 1:1 session, 90 minutes. In this session, you will have the opportunity to receive help where you need it the most. Together we will create a customized practice plan based on your individual needs.
- 1:1 follow up support. After your 1:1 session, I will follow up with you to make sure that your practice plan is working the way we designed it to. During this call, we will make any adjustments to your plan that might be necessary.
- Course related materials. Journal prompts, weekly questions for reflection, and more.
You'll walk away with:
- A community of like-minded parents. Now that the pandemic is officially over, many of us find ourselves trying to rebuild our social networks. We have moved to new locations for our work, and in doing so, we are craving social connection, a sense of belonging, and support. This is a place to find your tribe and stay connected no matter where you are in the world.
- A new sense of grounded confidence. You know you have the tools you need to handle any situation that comes your way, giving you a sense of safety and stability that you have been longing for.
- The self-assurance to build the nurturing, supportive, mindful environment that your family will thrive in. Mindfulness opens us up to new possibilities, and it gives us the confidence and inner strength to craft exactly what we’re dreaming about.
- A sense of excitement and joy. Even the most mindful of families will have their highs and lows, however, you’re noticing the shift. You’re having more highs than lows. Fewer tantrums. Fewer miscommunications. Fewer moments of overwhelm. More connection. More laughter. You feel lighter. You’re noticing that it’s FUN to be on this mindful path!

This is for you if...
- You’re ready for lasting, sustainable change. You feel ready to take a closer look at what is working in your family situation, and what isn’t (tantrums, miscommunications, never enough time for fun). You’re excited to do the work to pinpoint/determine/identify what your parenting vision is.
- You’d like to have expert guidance to support you as you lead your family towards your vision. Having a safe, nurturing space to support you while you make lasting changes for yourself and your family is exactly what you feel will set you up for success.
- Your commitment is unwavering. Establishing a mindfulness practice involves commitment, openness to trying new things, curiosity, and consistency. You know this is going to take some work, and that the outcome will be worth it!
This is not for you if...
- You are looking for a quick fix to ‘correct’ behavior rather than understand it. We all desire a harmonious flow in our family life, and it’s natural to want to immediately stop unwanted behaviors using consequences. However, this approach often leads to unintended issues down the line, which goes against the principles of mindful parenting.
- You’re not ready to invest the necessary time and effort. Mindful parenting requires work, starting with ourselves, as we are our children’s primary role models. They look up to us, emulating our every move. To succeed in this program, it’s crucial to devote time to the practice and model the behaviors you learn.
- You have other commitments that keep you busy. We understand that work, family obligations, personal pursuits , and various activities demand your time. Yet, when something isn’t working within your family, and you’re unwilling to reevaluate your priorities and make the necessary adjustments to prioritze mindfulness for yourself and your loved ones, then this course may not align with your current circumstances.
Partaking in the Mindful Parent Program served as a revelation, reassuring me that my feelings and struggles were shared by others who also sought to align their parenting with their aspirations. The resources provided by Traci have been nothing short of indispensable. By cultivating the ability to respond rather than react and embracing nonjudgmental acceptance, I successfully reconnected with my son, fostering his growth and our relationship's maturity.

I have been going through and trying to adjust through a lot of challenges with my kids that impact my schedule. Now, I've taken into account that if I want to accomplish all that I set out to do, I need to shift my priorities and find ways to make things work. The Mindful Parent Program has enabled me to problem-solve better when I'm more mindful of my time and my kids' feelings. Also, making sure I make time for myself all in the process!
Joy Murphy
I was surprised at how unconscious my thoughts are, and how my brain can take something positive and turn it into something negative that makes me worry. Now that I am aware of this, thanks to The Mindful Parent Program, I write it down every time I notice it. This helps me to remind myself that I can rewire my brain and change how I react to any situation.
