Ep. 52 with Angie Weber | The Parent Toolbox

The Parent Toolbox: Building Calm, Confident Families

What happens when a successful marketing professional suddenly realizes she's missing her children's most formative moments? Angie's journey from corporate burnout to holistic parenting coach offers a roadmap for mothers struggling to balance career ambitions with family connection.

After finding herself on the kitchen floor in tears, Angie took the leap that changed everything – quitting her seven-year marketing career to prioritize her twin children. What started as teaching essential oil classes to help her family reduce toxic exposure evolved into something much deeper following personal trauma that tested her marriage, mental health, and identity. Through intensive therapy for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, Angie discovered therapeutic techniques that transformed not just her healing but her entire approach to family communication.

The C.A.L.M. approach (Compassionate Communication, Awareness and Accountability, Learning emotional regulation, and Mindful Modeling) emerged from her personal healing journey. When she shared these tools with other parents, their response was universal: "Why don't we know this? Why aren't we teaching our kids this?" Now Angie helps families break generational cycles by asking better questions, holding space instead of always problem-solving, and creating consistent family meeting rituals that improve communication.

Perhaps most powerful is Angie's philosophy that "all of me with me, all of them with them" – a mantra about boundaries that reminds us we cannot control others' reactions, only our own responses. This approach has allowed her to navigate identity shifts, friendship evolutions, and entrepreneurial pivots with increasing confidence.

Whether you're questioning your current path, struggling with parent-child communication, or simply seeking more calm amidst family chaos, this episode offers practical wisdom from someone who's transformed personal struggle into purpose.
