The Masterful Parenting Podcast - Heal Your Childhood and Parent Better Through Relational Parenting
Anne Alvares is a parent coach, educator, and the founder of the Masterful Parenting Program, known for helping families build stronger, healthier relationships through relational parenting and healing from childhood wounds.

- She has spent 15+ years supporting teens and their parents, giving her deep insight into emotional development and adolescent challenges.
- She’s also a mother of two, bringing firsthand parenting experience to her work.
🌱 Her Story & Approach
Anne’s coaching is shaped by her personal healing journey—she grew up experiencing childhood pain, including abuse, controlling parenting, and being parentified. This inspired her to heal those patterns and not repeat them with her own children.
Her mission is to help parents understand how their own childhood experiences influence their parenting, and to guide them in building confidence, connection, and emotional awareness.
💡 What She Teaches
Anne specializes in:
- Relational Parenting: Prioritizing connection and understanding over control.
- Healing from childhood pain so parents don’t unconsciously repeat old patterns.
- Practical strategies to strengthen communication and connection with children.
- Support through one-on-one coaching, group programs, and online courses focused on emotional regulation and relational skills.
🎧 Public Presence
Anne also hosts the Masterful Parenting Podcast, where she shares insights into how parents can heal, understand triggers, and foster healthy, connected relationships with their children.
❤️ What Makes Her Different
Rather than simple tips or behavior modification, Anne’s approach blends emotional understanding, self-awareness, and healing, helping parents not just change behavior, but transform relationships.
In short, Anne Alvares is a coach who helps parents move beyond outdated patterns and cultivate calmer, more connected family lives rooted in understanding, healing, and relational awareness.

When we have unrealistic expectations ofour kids, it can cause conflict in our families.
Why do we have unrealistic expectations? How do these expectations affect our kids? How can we change our unrealistic expectations so we have healthy expectations instead?
These are the questions I answer in this webinar.
Hope this helps you in your parenting.

When we look back on our childhood, as parents, we may realize that there were things that we needed emotionally from our parents that we didn’t get.
This is childhood pain.
It is a hurt from our childhood that wasn’t healed and that we carry into our adult lives. Childhood pain can take many forms and come in varying degrees. When we don’t acknowledge and heal the pain from our childhoods, these pains will show up in our parenting. We know that our childhood pain is showing up in our parenting when we are struggling in our parenting role.
In this webinar, we will learn the signs that our childhood pain is getting in the way of becoming the parents we are meant to be.

Masha Bobo is a new authour of ReKindle, Your Path from Burnout to Erupting with Passion and Purpose.
Emigrating from the former Soviet Union as a child, Masha embraced her dreams of building her dream life in the land of the free and the home of the brave. After earning a Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of Colorado at Denver, she became a resilient business owner, navigated the challenges of divorce, and embraced single motherhood.
Leaping into the healthcare world while earning a Master's in Healthcare Administration at Colorado State University, she faced the deathly tango of her third burnout that spanned her onto medical leave.
The so-called American Dream quickly turned into a nightmare during which she rediscovered her relationship with Jesus and embraced her purpose and passion of spreading awareness of the unrecognized burnout.

Masterful Parenting
Does the pain from your childhood get in the way of you becoming the parent you want to be? Do you get triggered by what your child says and become over reactive and at times irrational. You are not alone, believe me. I too have carried pain from my childhood and I have struggled to be the parent I wanted to be. And parenting can be difficult at times. But what if I told you that there's a way to heal from your childhood pain, feel more energized, less reactive, more confident, and truly enjoy your children.
In the Masterful Parenting Program that runs for 8 weeks, I will help you become the parent you want to be. You will know how to heal from your own childhood, become more self-aware, learn how to connect better, and ways to communicate that touches your child's heart and ultimately have a healthy relationship with your child. I have helped many parents, as a high school counsellor, and I am also the mother of two boys, ages 23 and 13. My healing has come from by parenting and yours can, too.
If you want to heal, feel good about your parenting, less tired, more connected, and more appreciated by your kids, message me for a free 30 minute helping session and we will make a plan!
I truly believe parents can heal and raise healthy children and in doing this we will change the world. Let's do this!
