An introduction from Trixi Tschiedel Menhardt, PCC-ICF, Certified Mental Fitness Coach:
After a decade of dedication to leadership coaching and having worked with 500+ mid to senior level professionals, I know that most people can figure out how to become a better leader, get promoted, find a new job etc. Then, I noticed that the challenge of parenting in the 3rd quarter of life showed up more and more in our coaching sessions.
It’s the point in life when high achievers have generated wealth and found their leadership style yet when it comes to their young adult children they are often at a complete loss - how to relate to Gen Zers' values and life choices, deeply worrying about the kids not ever being successful, guilt and shame around their “performance” as parent, feeling so alone in who to talk to about this as outwardly they have it all figured out.
As a parent, I face those same emotions and I hear them from my clients - and yes, together we can shape a better future for our family, reign in anxiety and start to enjoy Q3 in life the way we had planned to!
I help high achieving parents of young adult children to move from anxiety, guilt and loss of control to establishing a loving and nurturing relationship with their kids and becoming an integral part of their lives again.

The Shift in the 3rd Quarter - Are you Anxious or Confused?
Your identity as a parent becomes less and less. Learn to embrace your children's life and career choices as their own path. |
The relationship with your spouse shifts - from building wealth and raising a family to now enjoying the 3rd quarter of life. |
So many questions show up in Q3 - this is the best time to connect with your essence to chart the right course for yourself & your family. |
Do you have some of these thoughts?
* One more promotion, and I will have proven my worth.
* How come I am successful in my career but have no idea how to guide my children to success?
* What did I do wrong that my child seems to make all the wrong choices?
* I am ready to move away from the suburbs but my spouse needs her community.
* I will sign up for a 10K run because I am still as bad-ass as my college days.
* Sometimes, I have a hard time not crying in my office. I am so tired of this.
* I cannot talk to anyone about this because I am supposed to be the person who has it together.
