Resilient Parenting Starts
with Self-Awareness
Find your footing again. The ELI shows you how to parent with hope, not fear.
You’re Not Just Tired—You’re on Empty
If your son or daughter is struggling with substance use, every day can feel like emotional whiplash. Fear. Guilt. Exhaustion. You're constantly reacting—putting out fires, walking on eggshells, trying to hold everything together.
If you're experiencing parent burnout, it's not because you're doing it wrong, it's because you've been in survival mode for too long.
When Stress Takes Over, You’re Left Reacting
You love your child. But love doesn't erase the chaos. And in that chaos, most parents fall into survival mode—snapping, shutting down, or trying to control everything to feel safe again.
These responses are completely human. But they leave you stuck in a cycle of fear and guilt, drained of energy and hope.
What if you could shift from reactivity to resilience—even when things are still hard?
That’s what the Energy Leadership Index (ELI) helps you do.
What Is The ELI?
A Roadmap to How You Show
Up,and How You Can Shift
The Energy Leadership Index (ELI) is a powerful, research-backed tool that reveals how stress affects your thoughts, emotions, and actions—and how you can shift from reactivity to resilient parenting. It shows you:
-
How you lead yourself (not just others)
-
How stress affects your communication and choices
-
Where your energy is being drained—and how to shift it
-
Where your strengths are—and how to lean on them
Discover your strengths.
The ELI helps you recognize the superpowers you already have. It helps you see how these qualities can lift your energy and guide you through even the hardest moments.
Imagine feeling grounded, confident, and connected again — even when life feels chaotic.
That's the shift the ELI can help you create.
Why It Matters for Parents
When your child is struggling with drugs or alcohol, it can feel like your life is stuck in crisis mode. But your well-being matters—a lot.
The ELI helps you:
-
Understand how you respond to stress—and how it affects your parenting
-
Identify the energy patterns draining you most
-
Learn to pause before reacting—and choose how to respond
-
Rebuild confidence, clarity, and emotional resilience
-
Feel more grounded, even in the chaos of addiction and recovery
This is about returning to the strong, capable mother you are—beneath the overwhelm.
Moms also report that the self-awareness gained from taking the ELI Assessment enhances their private coaching experience.

How do I schedule an ELI?Simply sign up for a complimentary session to learn more about how the ELI can help you and schedule an assessment if you're interested in taking the assessment.
-
Do I need to prepare anything before taking the assessment?Not at all. The assessment is completed online, in about 20 minutes, with no preparation needed. Simply show up as your authentic self, ready to learn more about what’s fueling your stress reactions—and what strengths you can build on. The more authentic you are, the more powerful and personalized your ELI insights will be.
-
How should I approach the assessment?The more authentic you are, the more powerful and personalized your ELI insights will be: Answer each question quickly—go with your first instinct. Don't overthink or analyze each statement. Be honest about how you actually are right now, not how you wish you were. Avoid trying to find "the right" answer—there are no right or wrong answers. Answer based on who you think you "should" be can lead to an inaccurate, less helpful analysis.
-
What exactly will the ELI assessment show me?The ELI reveals your personal patterns of how you respond to both stress and calm. It highlights your natural strengths (your "superpowers") and uncovers where you might feel stuck, helping you shift from automatic reactions toward intentional, empowered responses.
-
Can the ELI help me even if my child isn’t ready to change?Absolutely. The ELI is specifically designed to support you, regardless of your child’s readiness or stage of substance use. You'll learn how to move beyond automatic stress reactions, respond thoughtfully, and reclaim your own emotional well-being—even in ongoing, challenging situations.
-
How is this different from therapy or other support groups I've tried?Unlike therapy or group support, the ELI is a personalized, action-focused assessment. It highlights your energy patterns and strengths, offering immediate insights and tools you can apply. It’s designed to help you shift your mindset, not diagnose or treat a condition.
-
Is the ELI only for mothers or fathers whose children struggle with substance use?No. While the ELI is incredibly helpful for parents coping with a child’s substance use, it’s not limited to that. The ELI is valuable for anyone who wants to better understand how they respond to stress and lead themselves more effectively—in parenting, personal growth, work, relationships, or recovery. It’s a tool for building resilience and intentional leadership in all areas of life.
