I recently did the Chime for Parents workshop with Ashby and it was really helpful! I did the virtual version, which made it manageable for me in terms of convenience ( just an hour over zoom once a week during lunch) and Ashby did a good job of helping us connect through a virtual space. I was skeptical of the group setting but it ended up feeling very validating to hear other parents going through very similar things and to be reminded that sometimes, things are just hard! And that doesn't mean we're doing anything wrong.

The tools Ashby shared are grounded in pateince and compassion for our kids and ourselves. I didn't magically become a different kind of parent in 6 weeks, but I think that these tools, with practice and patience, will help me move toward the kind of relationship I want to have with my kids.

With a 75 minute group call each week plus a 30 minute 1:1, I felt like this was a really good investment of time and money for our family. Thank you Ashby!


I recently completed the Chime for Parents workshop, and I highly recommend it.  

It is led by Ashby who is an incredible storyteller, super funny, and so REAL. Every story she shared resonated with what I was going through with trying to manage my kids. 

I also loved how Ashby structured the course. Each week, we received concrete tools to practice, and she would check in by text to remind us to use them throughout the day. This practical, hands-on approach made it much easier to integrate what we were learning into our busy lives.

One of my favorite aspects of the workshop was getting to know the other parents. It was great to hear people’s experiences with their parenting struggles, that were both similar and different from my own. 

Also, it was so nice to have a space to just take a break from life (and kids), relax, and enjoy some yummy snacks with a an awesome group of folks. 

If you're looking for a supportive, fun, and transformative parenting workshop, I highly recommend Chime for Parents.
