I understand that there are many summit options available in the parenting market, and it can be challenging to choose the best one that addresses your parenting challenges. However, our Self Compassion Summit is based on the latest best practices to creating more calm and harmony in your home. If other parenting tools have failed to support you in showing up as the parent that you want to be, it’s time to learn science-backed methods that actually work!
No, the virtual summit is free for you to watch. Each day’s recordings will be available for 24 hours before they expire to make room for the next day’s recordings. If you would like to purchase lifetime access to any and all the recordings, please see the section on the VIP pass upgrade.
All of the interviews are pre-recorded and are available for 24 hours for you to watch with your free ticket. However, if you’re not able to attend live, go ahead and grab your free ticket and you can upgrade to the VIP Pass for ongoing access to all the interviews including video, audio only, workbook, and other bonuses.
