Welcome to

The Hive

The only expert-led coaching and support community that’s helped thousands of parents get their strong-willed kids (ages 2 - 18) to listen the first time…

With live coaching from Lisa Smith, tailored to your real child and situation —

So you can reconnect with your kid and build the kind of relationship you both feel proud of.

Get coaching, support, and real tools that work (even if nothing else has)

If you've tried everything from Gentle Parenting to Wilderness Therapy but nothing's worked...

You are exactly who The Hive was made for.

Strong-willed kids are our specialty.

We’ve helped thousands of parents like you turn things around, one step (and one calmer) moment at a time.

You love your kid. Fiercely

But let’s be honest…

Most days, it feels like they’re the one running the house.

You’re walking on eggshells, praying one wrong word won’t trigger another meltdown.

You ask them to put on their shoes and suddenly it’s like you’re arguing with a tiny lawyer who skipped their nap and just watched a YouTube video on civil disobedience.

You try to stay calm.

You try to be patient.

And then, you snap.

Again.

You never wanted to be a yelling parent. And yet here you are.

Stuck in a cycle of yelling → guilt → promises to “do better tomorrow” → repeat.

If this is hitting way too close to home?

You’re not alone. And you’re not the problem.

In the history of mankind, no one has ever calmed down by being told to "calm down"

So we’re not going to tell you that.

We’re going to show you how to actually calm the chaos - starting with you.

Because the truth is, if your child ignores you, argues constantly over curfew, or melts down over everything from bedtime to the blue cup - it’s not because they’re a bad kid.

It’s because they don’t see you as the leader of your home.

Not yet.

But that’s about to change.

It’s not because they’re bad.

And it’s definitely not because you’re a bad parent.

Strong-willed kids just don’t come with an instruction manual.

That’s what The Hive is.

🐝 Your manual.

🐝 Your map.

🐝 Your step-by-step support for parenting a strong-willed child in a way that works.

This is the help you’ve been needing.

💛Introducing The Hive 💛

The Hive is an expert-led community designed specifically for parents of strong-willed kids who feel like they’ve tried everything—and nothing sticks.

You’ll learn how to take back control of your home—not through dominance or threats, but by becoming the calm, confident leader your child listens to and respects.

Even in the middle of a meltdown.

Even when you’ve tried every other approach.

Even if you’ve started to wonder, “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.”

You are.

Here’s how we help you get there:

Inside The Hive, you'll get:

Imagine This...

You ask your 5-year-old to turn off the iPad — and they actually do it.

Your 8-year-old puts their shoes on the first time you ask.

Your 12-year-old doesn’t roll their eyes when you remind them about chores.

Your 17-year-old respects your boundary... and still wants to hang out.

You handle the hard moments—whether it’s a tantrum, backtalk, or teenage sass—without losing your cool.

You stay grounded. You hold the limit. And afterward?

You feel proud.

Bedtime ends in connection, not chaos.

You start the day without dreading what’s coming.

And your home?

It finally feels like a safe, calm place—for both of you.

Because your child listens—not out of fear, but because they feel seen, respected… and loved.

Imagine ending the day proud of how you handled it. That starts here.

What Parents Say About The Hive:

“The Hive completely changed my parenting—and what I believe, my daughter’s life too.

I used to be a total yeller, chasing my kid down the hallway during meltdowns, feeling embarrassed and totally dysregulated.

But that first call flipped everything for me—Lisa helped me realize the real shift had to start with me, not my kid.

I rarely make it live, but just listening to replays and implementing the tools has changed everything—I honestly can’t remember the last time I yelled.”

— Tina

"Before The Hive, our household was a mess. I always struggled with my strong-willed daughter and felt like I needed to fix her. Mornings and after school were constant power struggles and tears from both of us. I yelled, spanked, and parented out of fear, even though I wanted to do things differently.

Then I joined The Hive. Lisa taught me what my daughter’s brain could actually handle, and the work I needed to do on myself to change things. Now I know how to pause, regulate myself, and set clear, respectful boundaries.

Our mornings are joyful. My daughter listens. And I finally feel like I’m the leader in my home."

— Daniela M.

"The value of the Hive is incredible.

It has changed the trajectory of my family, bit by bit over time, and broken so many cycles of trauma and suffering that my husband and I both inherited.

And he’s not even doing the program—it’s still transforming him too, through modeling and energy shifts.

It’s changed how I relate to everyone."

— Lyra

"Since I’ve started working with Lisa, we have had NO meltdowns, and I know it’s because I am so much calmer and more present with my kids."

— Rachel

"The Hive is 100% worth it! I love that I can get coaching when I need it. I saw results from the very first coaching call and I want to keep building that relationship with my daughter. It really has just changed my relationship with her in so many ways."

— Ann

"The Hive has saved my marriage and my sanity!!"

— Samantha

Why This Works

(When Nothing Else Has)

You’ve already tried being stricter. You’ve tried being softer.

You’ve read the books. Tried the timeouts. Done the sticker charts.

You’ve even taken their iPhone.

And none of it worked.

That’s because most parenting advice is built for compliant kids—not strong-willed, fiery ones who challenge everything.

At The Hive, we teach something different.

It’s steel wrapped in velvet:

Strength without shouting

Softness without surrender

Softness without surrender

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being steady.

And that’s what changes everything.

This Is Your Turning Point.

Right now, you’re stuck in a cycle.

Your child pushes, you react, things explode—and everyone ends the day feeling worse.

Not because you’re doing it wrong.

But because no one ever showed you what actually works with strong-willed kids.

Inside The Hive, we’ll help you shift that pattern—step by step, in real time.

So you know exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to handle hard moments with calm confidence—

They follow.

They listen.

They thrive.

And you?

You breathe again.

You stop replaying every mistake.

And you go to bed proud of how you showed up.

Ready to become the parent you know you can be?

💛 A note from Lisa

Hey - I’m Lisa Smith

I’m a former yeller. A mom of a strong-willed kid.

And once upon a time, I was managing multimillion-dollar deals at work, while getting my butt handed to me by a 5-year-old at home.

I’d say things I didn’t mean.

I’d watch my kid’s face crumble.

And I’d cry in the laundry room, wondering if I was ruining everything.

Then I found tools that changed everything.

Not overnight. Not magically. But deeply.

And now, I coach parents like you every single week inside The Hive.

That’s why I created The Hive.

To give you the support I wish I had back then.

To walk with you through the hard moments and show you exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to handle the chaos without losing yourself.

To help you feel proud of how you parent—even on the messy days.

And to remind you:

💛 You’re not broken.

You just need better tools—and someone in your corner.

👉 Join The Hive today. I’ll be there to coach you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real Answers for Real Parents

Q: Is this just another “gentle parenting” program where kids have no rules and get away with everything?

A: Nope. This is not that.

Peaceful Parenting is not permissive parenting.

We don’t let kids “run the show,” and we’re not here to reason with a 3-year-old for an hour about bedtime.

This approach is firm and loving.

You’ll learn how to set clear rules and consequences — without yelling, threatening, or punishing.

Your child will still know what’s expected of them — and you’ll still be the one in charge.

A: You get real-time, real-life expert-led parenting support for $37/month:

Q: Will this work for my teen? Or my toddler?

A: Yes.

The Hive supports parents of kids ages 2 to 18.

Whether your kid is throwing blocks or throwing shade, you’ll get tools that help you lead with calm, confident authority.

Q: What if I can’t make the live calls? Will I fall behind?

A: Not at all. You are NEVER behind.

You are never, ever, ever behind!!!

The Hive is built for real life — yours.

You’ll get recordings of every coaching session in a private podcast feed you can listen to anytime, anywhere.

There’s no catch-up, no pressure, and no assignments.

Come live if you want — or listen later while folding laundry or hiding in the bathroom.

Q: Do I have to commit to a certain number of months?

A: Nope

The Hive is a month-to-month membership. Cancel anytime, no questions asked.

Stay as long as it helps.

Q: What if I’m totally burned out and my kid doesn’t respond to anything anymore?

A: You are exactly who The Hive was made for.

If you’re yelling more than you want to…

If your kid rolls their eyes or screams back when you set a limit…

If it feels like nothing works and you’ve failed as a parent — you’re in the right place.

We’ve helped thousands of parents like you turn things around, one step (and one calmer moment) at a time.

Q: My kid listens to everyone else — but not me. Is this still for me?

A: Yes. And you’re not alone.

Many parents feel like their child is “saving their worst for them.”

And we tackle this head-on in The Hive.

Inside The Hive, you’ll learn how to become the calm, confident leader of your home — so your child listens because they respect you, not because they’re afraid of you.

Q: Do I have to change my entire parenting philosophy?

A: Only if your current one isn’t working.

Most parents in The Hive aren’t here because they love parenting theory — they’re here because they’re exhausted, out of tools, and want peace in their home.

You get tools, strategies and coaching without ever being told to calm down. But more importantly, you’ll feel supported and safe while trying something different.

Q: What makes this different from all the other parenting books, courses, or tips I’ve already tried?

A: 3 big things:

We don’t just give you generic advice. We coach you through real-life parenting moments.

Your strong-willed kid didn’t come with an instruction manual—and what works for your friend’s toddler definitely doesn’t work on your 16-year-old who negotiates curfew like a trial attorney.

That’s why The Hive gives you custom-tailored support for your child, your situation, and your meltdown moment—so you know exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to hold your boundary without losing your cool.

This is built for strong-willed kids—on purpose.

Not every strategy works for kids who push back hard, escalate fast, or seem totally immune to sticker charts.

The Hive was made for your strong-willed kid, and we’ll help you figure out exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to set limits that actually stick.

No shame. No guilt. No parenting perfection required.

You’ve yelled. You’ve lost it. You’ve had days where you swore you were messing it all up.

Welcome.

You’re human.

We start from where you are—not where you think you should be—and walk with you step by step.

Our motto? Progress, not perfection.

If nothing else has worked—it’s time to try something different.

Join The Hive now and let’s make progress together, one meltdown at a time.

Q: I’m already drowning. Will this be another thing I don’t have time for?

A: You don’t need more to-do’s. You need relief.

There’s no “curriculum” to follow, no homework, no pressure to show up live.

The Hive is designed for busy, overstimulated parents. You can dip in and out when you need help — and that’s enough to create change.

Come once a week, once a month or watch the replays when you need it. The support is always there.

“I rarely make it live, but just listening to replays and implementing the tools has changed everything—I honestly can’t remember the last time I yelled.” - Tina

Q: Is $37/month really worth it?

A: How much is peace of mind worth to you?

For less than the price of one therapy copay, or a Target run of “trying to feel better,” you get:

3 live expert-led coaching calls a week for help with YOUR unique child and situation
Monthly deep-dive workshops
Private podcast
A real parenting strategy
