You’re drowning in advice but starving for answers.

Every expert tells you something different.

Your Instagram feed shows perfect families, while yours feels like chaos. You've read the books, tried the methods, and still find yourself:

Losing your temper over small things, then drowning in guilt
Giving in to tantrums just to make them stop
Feeling like a referee instead of a parent during sibling fights
Spending two hours every night on bedtime battles
Second-guessing every parenting decision you make

You’re not failing. The “more is better” approach is failing you.

A Little About Me…

I’m Albiona Rakipi, a parenting coach who has worked with children and families for over two decades. I’m a parent myself, and I understand the parenting journey. I created this space with one intention; I wanted a safe space for parents to feel seen, heard, valued, and supported.   

Parenting is full of beautiful and challenging moments. I saw too many parents feeling defeated, overwhelmed, and burnt out. The parenting space has become noisy with checklists telling parents everything they should do. I wanted to take these ideas I saw so many parents adhering to and reframe them so you could connect with your kids by actually doing less.

 When everyone tells you more is the answer, i.e., give more attention, give more time, you’re not giving enough of yourself; I’ll show you how we can connect more by doing less.

 Let’s reframe parenting together!

What Parents Are Saying…

"We reached out to Albiona because we wanted to be more intentional and aligned as parents. Working with Albiona was incredibly valuable. She gave us practical tools, but just as importantly, our weekly sessions became dedicated time for my wife and me to check in on how parenting was going and stay on the same page—something that’s hard to make time for with young kids. By the end of our time together, we felt more confident, more consistent, and better equipped to handle challenges as a team. Before coaching, we were mostly reacting. Now we’re much more intentional, communicate better as parents, and have a shared approach that has made a real difference for our family."

Jay & Sarah Miller
"We reached out to Albiona because we were looking for guidance in supporting our 6 year old son through impulsivity, behavioral challenges, and big emotions. We wanted practical tools and a better understanding of how to help him. While working with Albiona, we felt heard, supported, and never judged. She took the time to understand our family and provided thoughtful, practical strategies that we could immediately begin using in our daily lives. By the end of our time together, we had gained a much better understanding of our son's needs, along with effective techniques that helped us respond with greater patience, consistency, and confidence. The biggest change we noticed was in how we approached challenging situations as parents. Instead of feeling overwhelmed or unsure of how to respond, we gained tools that helped us stay calm, better understand our son, and strengthen our connection with him. Before coaching we often felt uncertain and reactive, and now we feel more grounded and intentional in how we navigate difficult moments. We continue to use many of the techniques Albiona taught us, and we're grateful for the positive impact her coaching has had on our family."

P. & J. Van Boven
"We reached out to Albiona because... we were in the midst of blending two families after our young children had each lost a parent to illness. As parents, we knew we needed guidance and support to navigate such a sensitive transition for both the kids and our family as a whole. While working with Albiona, we felt... incredibly supported, encouraged, and empowered as we blended our families and learned how to parent each child according to their unique personalities and needs. By the end of our time together, we had gained... the confidence, tools, and perspective we needed to move forward as parents in our unique circumstances. The biggest change we noticed in our family was... watching two separate families become one deeply connected and loving family, as though we had always been together. We also saw a tremendous difference in the way the kids responded to us, interacted with one another, and navigated extended family relationships as we implemented the tools and strategies Albiona taught us. Before coaching, we were navigating uncertainty and figuring out how to blend our families in the healthiest way possible. Now, we are a confident, connected family with the tools to parent intentionally and support each of our children well."

Samantha Eling
"She is a light and one of the most realistic teachers when it comes to practical ways to parent. She helped me understand my children in ways that made me have a little bit more compassion as I walked through different stages with each of them. Through her classes, I recognized that I carry a lot of outdated ways of parenting my kids as I carried many things over from the way my parents parented me. She showed me that I have the ability to parent the way that feels right and there is no one size fits all for children."

Elizabeth Lewis
"Albiona created a safe and comfortable environment where parents can speak openly and honestly about the various parenting struggles we often face. I loved how Albiona listened attentively and encouraged us to dig deeper into the behaviors and even more importantly explore our own responses. She shared tangible strategies that parents can apply immediately. I have gained so much from using the PARR method with my kids and I am so grateful to Albiona for her perspective on life and the journey of parenthood.”

Qazime B.
"Albiona was so insightful in helping me work on a parenting problem I had been challenged by for over a year. By helping my son understand that I was on his team, we have seen him diligently work through his homework and complete it on his own, without intervention for the first time in almost a year."

Michelle B.
"I can’t speak highly enough of Albiona. Her support and care has meant a lot in helping my son with some of the social issues he’s been having in school. She really takes the time to listen to my concerns and offer suggestions and tips on how to handle certain situations, as well. She’s very knowledgeable, patient and kind while really trying to understand and help with strategies and solutions in some of the parenting struggles I’ve had. I highly recommend her services to any parents struggling with their children’s behavioral and social issues."

Christina A.
"I have a 1 ½ year old and, as the tremendous twos are approaching, I needed help with how to prepare with that. There are a few things my child is already starting to test limitations on. I felt myself becoming the “bad parent” with the short fuse and that is something that I did not want. The P.A.R.R method has helped, as well as just some self care and reflection, through meditation and breathing. Albiona also reassured me that I am not alone in these thoughts and feelings that I am having, so that has done wonders for my mindset!"

Jessica S.
“As a single parent, I reached out to Albiona when I was at my breaking point, struggling to manage my 4-year-old son's daily tantrums and arguments. Albiona's calm, non-judgmental approach created a safe space for me to open up and focus on the root causes of our challenges. Her PARR system has made a profound difference in both my son's behavior and my own response to challenging situations. Thanks to Albiona's support, I feel more confident in my parenting, and I can see the positive impact on my son’s emotional regulation. Her approach has been a game-changer for both of us.”

The Parenting Reframe Podcast

On this podcast, we’ll explore solutions to some of the biggest parenting challenges (i.e., tantrums, potty training, challenging behaviors, neurodivergent learners, teenagers, bedtime, homework, expectations, etc.). We’ll chat with experts, parents, and even kids about what it means to parent and to be parented. I hope to create a safe space where parents feel seen, heard and supported through this wild journey, that is parenting.
