EMILY KREKLAU

Certified Conscious Co-Parenting Coach

The most valuable part of this certification program was learning how to put together a business, making me write it down so I see it in black and white, making the commitment real, meeting the other coaches and sharing ideas and learning the steps to be a masterful coach. I would recommend this program to others because you definitely get your money's worth. It pushes you at the right level. Encourages you as you work. Forces you to do the work and get out of your comfort zone. I also found it helpful to have other coaches to bounce ideas off of. I would not want to go through this program alone and I never felt that way. Since working through this program I have noticed a change in the way I view my potential to make a difference. I have never been part of something so great and I finally feel I have a purpose. I am anxious to really get coaching and helping other parents see their potential. I feel I have a great business model to grow into and have much more to offer than just a teaching career. I love working with kids and families and this is such a great opportunity to do that. 

BARB SHROEDER

Certified Conscious Co-Parenting Coach

The program is excellent. I believe it fully equipped me, not just as a coach but also as a business owner. I found that if I averaged about six hours of work a week I could complete the course in a little over four months this was a good time frame for me.

The change for me since working with this program is I have a greater sense of purpose. I believe that helping parents and children to reunite is my life’s purpose. Being equipped with the business strategies and coaching skills I needed, I now feel confident that I can use my education and experience to help people reunite.


I have more confidence moving forward. I believe that I can tackle the challenges that come my way. I believe I have a strong support system in Dorcy and other coaches. I know that If I need something they will be there for me. I also know that I can help other people and I’m excited not only to help my clients but also help train other coaches.

BRYAN HALE

Certified Conscious Co-Parenting Coach

I would absolutely recommend this program to others.

The comprehensive and meaningful content will prepare anyone with the core personality, passion, and characteristics needed for this work, to QUICKLY jump in and be successful. It is a way to kick-start your passion for rescuing children and families from abuse, and make a lasting impact on people's lives!

If you were meant to do this type of work, Dorcy's program is the ONLY OPTION TO CONSIDER! Go with the best! Wow, Dorcy has a passion and skill level rarely possessed by one person. She clearly loves training and empowering people to exceed their highest expectations. Her love for those she engages with is evident and is matched only by her dedication to excellence in herself, and others.

This is hard work, full of landmines, and Dorcy navigates the serious challenges and endless possibilities elegantly. There is a concept in scripture of INTERWOVEN Truth & Grace. Without either, both are less meaningful. Likewise, Dorcy's interwoven message DIRECTLY CONFRONTS serious issues that many people run from, while jointly, lovingly, painting a picture of hope, promise, and a better way to be in a relationship with one another.

She is a unique individual that impacts the lives of all those she comes into contact with. In addition to the easy answer of an incredible amount of valuable content, the most impacting aspect has been the relationships with those also doing this work, both Dorcy and others. This has personally changed and increased immensely my already burning passion to impact the lives of others and make a lasting difference in their lives. I feel more humbled, emboldened, courageous, and prepared to tackle the battles ahead and care for the hearts, minds, and souls of those I will impact.

My daughter didn't want anything to do with me, when we had such a loving relationship before. I wanted to give up, until I found Dorcy. I was also advised to wait around for my daughter to just come around someday and I am so glad I didn't do that and instead took action. I got the court to see what was actually happening to hold my co-parent accountable. Because of the CRM, the judge finally understood exactly what was happening in our family and we got ordered into the High Road program where I reunited with my daughter in a matter of days. My co-parent learned skills in the last phase of the program and I also learned how to show up differently which makes all the difference in the court system and with your child. I got my one and only daughter back, and she has a loving relationship with both of us now and is thriving socially, academically, and emotionally. I am so glad I did not give up and 'wait around' for my daughter to come around or we would have missed out on years of a loving relationship. Both programs changed my life and most importantly my daughter's. If you feel the urge to give up, please don't. Your children need you.

I singed up for the CRM after attending Dorcy's 7days seminar of let's get your children back. I was also part of the Chosen Parent's Collective. I truly appreciate all the work Dorcy has done to help parents. The classes are very detailed and I love attending the live calls. My now 12 y.o. daughter was very angry, very rude, not wanting to listen anything, she was very distant from me. Communication had become extremely difficult. She had been made to think that she is an adult and should be involved in all decision making. She thought her mom didn't know how to treat her, take care of her and speak to her.


I had been in court system for about 3.5 years when I signed up for the program. My divorce wasn't going anywhere, and I had spend nearly all of my savings. My divorce was finalized last month finally after much back and forth with the attorneys. My ex's attorney was just as bad as my EX. In all reality I can't say my own attorney did much to help me with the whole situation. I became proactive in learning about my situation and when I landed on Dorcy's video on youtube with Dr.Childress one day while randomly doing search, I felt there I can find some answers and get help. 


Since, I have gotten the coaching sessions and done the course work recommended to me, I felt I am back to myself again being confident, in control of my life again and making sound decision. I can't thank enough Dorcy and her team for all the help. My relationship with my daughter has improved as I learn how to deal with the family dynamic and what was happening. I am listening the course work again for the third time. It helps to be able to visit the course work again !! My EX hasn't changed, continues to lie to my daughter. I have learned what my triggers are and stay calm when situations arise. Absolutlely!!! 


Dorcy has nailed it. And the information that Dr.Childress has on his channel really helps to understand how therapists work. The first time I heard their youtube chanel, I said, to myself,, "OMG, there is someone who knows and described my life situation" and when I signed up with CCPI, I came to know there are so many people out there dealing with similar situation, and being part of group and listen to other's story gave me hope and I can talk to people who understand me.

I frequently got triggered and lived with a lot of self-doubt. These lessons helped me to figure out my triggers (Decision Forming Incidents) and where my self-doubt was coming from (Fear Based Actions) mostly. It helped me to clean up my side of the mirror. It enforced how I show up in life is what I attract in my life. It has helped me to become a better, happier person in general which will make me a better, happier parent for my children. This class helps to identify junk from the past and how to clean it up. It helps us to learn how to be present and authentic and show up loving.

Hi Dorcy, I'm walking upstairs and see the attached list that our son had forgotten on the shoe rock. It says "child 2.0." 


Our son just turned 16 and conversation with him are amazing! In fact, stepmom and I fight over who gets to drive him to school in the morning. 


Yesterday, he was telling me about his way of thinking now and how he's really grown. He's taking three AP classes and the rest are honors. This him talking:

I look back at my one AP class from last year and it seems so easy in comparison the ones this year. So I said to myself, even though these seem impossible, next year I bet these are going to seem easy as well. So with that mindset, I've been able to learn to love and excel at all of those classes. In fact, the paper I worked on last night was super difficult at first and lots of kids did spark notes instead of actually reading it, but for me, I got through the whole book and it was a joy to write the paper the more time I spent on it. I wish I knew these lessons last year he said.


Last night, he had another paper for a teacher that's very particular about what she wants and he was struggling to figure out what she liked. He facebooked four or five seniors who have taken that class under the "smartest people I know" group name he created and got them to explain the assignment and look over his work. He also got kids' input on his first article that he was writing for our local paper.


It really is child 2.0 as he described himself. He's branching out and connecting with peers and that's causing him to grow in more ways than we could have ever imagined. He's seeing what other people are doing and learning from their experiences. He's no longer the "smartest know it all in the world" that he was when we were in court. He's a kid that's growing and adjusting and open to suggestions.


I absolutely love it and what a blessing to see him loving what he does and taking pride in his work. He's the happiest and sweetest I've seen in a very, very, very long time. Thank you, Dorcy!


Love,


Grateful Dad and Family

ROBIN GREENLEE

Higher Purpose Parenting Client

I have two sons, 15 and 17. My oldest son is completely alienated from me, for 19 months. My youngest son still comes but is also alienated. My mother also contributes to the alienation as well as some contribution from my sister. We were alienated from our father about the same age as my children from me. My sister gets angry and denies it, even though I've never even said that's what happened to us. My oldest son will graduate from H.S. in a month and I will not be invited. He won't be 18 until December but no one will tell me where he intends to go to college, if he has a job, etc.


Things have improved with my younger son, for the most part. He will now frequently return my "I love you's" and event accept a hug. Mostly we are getting along better. Tomorrow is a mediation day so he has been really ornery and argumentative. I'm sure it has to do with that, even though he shouldn't even know about it. But it's typical. My ex always amps it up during stressful times for her. I am taking back my deservedness, and not accepting crazy doublespeak. I know my older son still loves me and needs me, but I can't escape, yet. We'll get there, even with the split in the extended family.


This class has helped me think about my own part in contributing to the alienation, but it's not so much about me being or doing even like I have been told so much from my mother and ex, which I absorbed, but about my believing those lies. I now understand the gaslighting and manipulation done to me and our children. I have some compassion for my ex, a lot more for my children and also for myself. I also am firm now that I will not ever give up on my children. I am their parent and they deserve and require me to recover them and help them heal.

I was completely cut off from my 2 grown, adult children. They have children of their own, and I had never met my grandchildren. There was a narrative about our divorce that of course led to their belief that I ruined our family, and they wanted nothing to do with me. I reached out to Dorcy because I was at a loss. I had been trying everything, or so I thought. Upon my research I heard that she had reunited with her dad when she was an adult, so naturally I was inclined to connect with her since I have adult children of my own. I was ready to call it quits. I am so glad I didn't. I took Reunited and also chose to do some one-on-one coaching because I knew I had to also clear up some of my own stories. Shortly after, I got a response from one of my kids. it wasn't the nicest, I'll say. But it got me to connect back with them, and was an opportunity for me to work on my messaging. I want to encourage anyone here that this is no race. It is a marathon that has to be trained for. I was able to clear a lot of my own trauma and story and work on my communication with this program. After communicating back and forth for some time, my children agreed to meet. I was over the moon, as it had been over a decade that i had seen them. After that, I was invited for a holiday. I got to meet my grand children. Things were shifting with each passing month and not before long I was babysitting my grandchildren. Something I had NEVER thought in a million years I would be able to do. Thank you Dorcy, for sharing your vulnerable alienating story and guiding parents to do the same.

I am in tears right now. I opened Venmo today during lunch and noticed that my son had liked the money I sent him 5 days ago. It was only a click to like but it means the world to me. The first communication in a very long time. Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

After 687 days of not replying to my daily messages, my son surprised me with a message on Christmas. I got an 'I love you too.'

The best Christmas present ever!

I understood the dynamic I was dealing with, but conventional advice seemed to make things worse. I knew my kids had been put in the middle but wasn't sure how to get them out.

Clarity on what type of communication is helpful not just for my kids but with my challenging co parent as well. That clarity brings out my confidence as a parent to express and model unconditional love.

It is so refreshing to hear other parents that really get it and don't just tell you your child is a teen and will grow out of their behaviors. That validation alone opens doors that lead to movement forward. There is so much wisdom to apply from advice given, successes and questions asked that help us to dive deeper and open our eyes to new ways of approaching things both mentally / emotionally and in daily action.

The collective has given me true support in multiple ways. A group of like minded people who are solution focused and understand what they are actually dealing with. Resources to continue growing as a person and parent. Hope.

I'm a parent of 2 adult children who have been completely alienated for 29 years. I've always tried to stay in touch through letters and emails to no avail.

I now realize I have to show my children the way to back to me by being the strong, safe parent instead of hoping they will figure it out. I was always feeling I had to walk on eggshells in my communication and Dorcy is helping me learn and try ways to show up much differently.

It's a great group of parents who are all struggling with the same issues I am. Dorcy puts her heart and soul into every session and could not be more passionate about trying to help every parent reconnect with their children.

I feel much more hopeful that what I am learning will make a difference and help me reconnect with my children.

I was not aware of unconditional ❤️ love and I thought I was a bad parent. I did not trust myself and feel small in relationships to my kids. This created anger and resentment in me.

I am the creator of my reality and my relationships and It is not my fault I messed up but I am responsible for going forward now that I know how.

It is a tremendous support and a relief to be able to rest in and find your own way by listening and learning from others experiences.

Before I was having a battle with life. Now, I have a life.
