What is something that you wish every working parent knew?
You can say no! Time is precious and you get to choose when to say yes, no or negotiate.

What do you love to do when you are not working?
Walking while listening to audiobooks (two of my favorite recharge activities at the same time). I return home a much more peaceful version of me.

What do you think is most powerful about coaching?
Being seen. Having a space to explore what’s true and what’s possible with someone who is not invested in a particular outcome. Being asked powerful questions and learning new ways of being that make life feel more joyful, interesting and doable.

What is something that you wish that every working parent knew?
You are the expert on your own child and what works best for your family. You can trust yourself! We’re all just making it up as we go along.

Rebekah Nanfria,
Associate Certified Coach

Prior to becoming a coach, Rebekah worked 20+ years as a professional actor. She coaches an array of clients with a strong focus on working parents. Rebekah lives in L.A. with her husband, Michael, and their two boys.

What is something that you wish every working parent knew?
Everyone is struggling. You are not alone or failing or “doing it wrong.” No one has it all together. The sooner we all come clean about that, the more strength and joy we’ll find as parents.

What do you love to do when you are not working?
I love just being around my kids doing the simple things—walking the dog, playing catch, driving to practices. Those are the times they start talking, sharing their deep thoughts, their challenges, discoveries and joys. Those are the best life moments. I also run, love movies and make the best chocolate chip pancakes ever.

What do you think is most powerful about coaching?
I am inspired to help clients tap into their own resourcefulness. Only they know what’s right for them.

What is one of your favorite life hacks for thriving as a working parent?
Meal delivery services have been a lifesaver. We picked one where the food just needs to be reheated, and we are able to get at least two weeknight dinners out of it.
