From Gifted but Checked-Out… to Rediscovering My Motivation
I was a bright kid who totally lost my spark in school. Now I’ve turned my success story into a free guide for parents of kids just like me.
Why I Created This Guide
As a kid, I was labeled gifted early on. But by the time I hit my teens, I was totally checked out.
My grades tanked. My parents tried everything: rewards, punishments, reminders, lectures. Nothing worked. It just made me feel more disconnected.
Here’s the good news: I turned it around. I went from barely caring about school to earning a business degree, landing a great job, and eventually finishing my master’s program.
Now, I help parents support their kids through the same struggles — without the endless conflict.
What Parents Get in the Free Guide
This Isn’t Just My Story
✔ The exact shifts that helped me go from unmotivated to thriving
✔ Why common strategies (bribes & punishments) don’t work — and what to do instead
✔ How to help your child rediscover their spark without constant battles
✔ The clear next step if you want personalized support for your family
Today, I hold a Master’s degree in psychology, specializing in motivation and learning.
More importantly, I know how it feels — as a kid, and as a parent who just wants the best for their child.
Stop the Struggle. Start the Change Today.

What’s inside
Phase 1: Create the Invitation
You can’t force growth, but you can create the conditions for it.
Phase 2: Build the System
A system you build together is a system your child won’t resist.
Phase 4: Sustain & Grow Autonomy
Your job isn’t to be the engine, just the guide rail.
Phase 3: Step Back & Stay Consistent
Support works best when it’s steady, but light.
