Transform Emotional Breakdowns to Emotional Breakthroughs
A 2 hour Self-Paced Virtual Workshop Dedicated to:
- Developing a foundation of healthy emotional development in your home or class.
- Understanding the neurobiology of emotions.
- Creating a positive emotional blueprint and legacy for the next generation
Who is Calm the Storm designed for:
Are you or your child experiencing more emotional breakdowns?
- Do you or the children in your care get frustrated easily, often leading to emotional outbursts?
- Do you try to stay calm with your children, until you reach a tipping point and then you feel like you’re exploding?
- Or maybe everything seems fine – and then your child goes from 0 to 100 at a moment’s notice?
- Are transitions with daily routines challenging for your child?
- Or maybe you’re dealing with big explosions, anger or aggression – even to the point you are concerned that they will damage property or hurt themselves, a sibling, or you?
Are you not sure how to handle it?
- Do you try to stay calm, but end up feeling emotionally triggered or activated?
- Maybe you respond with yelling or your own high emotions that seem to make everything worse?
Do you know in your heart you need new tools to both
help you stay calm and to support your child?
You’re not alone!
In working with over thousands of parents and teachers in the last decade – and as a parent myself – I’ve discovered that:
The #1 parenting and teaching struggle we face today is how to support children (and ourselves) during an emotional breakdown, meltdown, or explosion.
Even with the best of intentions, staying calm, neutral and supportive with a melting down child – or during times of our emotional stress as a parent or teacher – is challenging to say the least.

Even with the best of intentions, staying calm, neutral and supportive with a melting down child – or during times of our emotional stress as a parent or teacher – is challenging to say the least.
It’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of responding to children’s high emotions with our own high emotions, whether it’s yelling, anger, withdrawing – and even our own emotional breakdown.
Because emotional breakdowns are the #1 challenge parents face today, supporting you and the children in your care around high emotions is the #1 way to bring positive change to your family.
You can learn how to find your calm in the storm, and transform emotional breakdowns into emotional breakthroughs, to create a foundation of healthy emotional development for the next generation.

What Parents are Saying About Happy Home:
“The Calm the Storm Masterclass was such a blessing, and provided a much-needed reset for my family and I. The course helped me reconnect with the joy and wonder of motherhood, which immediately resulted in a calmer, more present mommy, and thus, calmer, happier children! The class was so well-researched, and included many concrete examples from the worlds of psychology and neuroscience, as well as anecdotal stories that helped me gain such a deeper understanding of what’s happening in my own brain (and my children’s brains, as well) during periods of high stress. Knowing the brain science behind my experiences helped me to extend more grace and gentleness towards myself, and to my husband and kids as well. The one-on-one coaching sessions with Megan were invaluable and really built on what I’d learned in the class- we were able to tailor the sessions to my family’s exact needs, and trouble shoot some common areas of conflict. Megan is so kind and compassionate, and it is so obvious in her warmth and enthusiasm that she really cares about the families she supports. It’s easy, as a mom, to feel isolated and alone, and Megan made me feel like I had someone in the background cheering me on. That support gave me strength. Perhaps my favorite thing about Calm the Storm and my sessions with Megan was that I didn’t feel like it was “adding” anything to my already over-flowing plate; it didn’t ask me to do anything that felt unnatural or forced, or make me feel guilty about what I’m not doing. Instead, it helped me to feel proud of what I do well, to see my own strengths more clearly, and to utilize them creatively to support my family. The class reminded me that I am actually pretty GOOD at this mommy thing, and every mom needs that reminder once in a while!”
“What I appreciated most from Calm the Storm is the practical information and knowledge Megan taught me about emotions. This class helped me to better understand myself when faced with emotional situations by empowering me to practice methods for regathering and re-connection to better find balance in my life. By using simple tools and coping strategies Megan gives a clearer idea how to model for children ways to express myself so they too can learn healthy calming skills. Calm the Storm has opened my eyes to the power of emotions and how they can have an effect on the people around me. Recognizing my own stress responses, temperament and triggers has also helped me to understand how children and adults react differently. My biggest take away is to have compassion for myself and to address my own struggles using calming tools so I can be a better parent and teacher.”
“I began working with Megan initially to learn to better support my 3 year old granddaughter, who is experiencing effects from trauma and grief after her mom’s struggles with addiction led to us seek legal custody. My granddaughter was having a lot of strong emotions, understandably, and I learned that she needed to develop stronger attachments since she did not develop a healthy sense of attachment to her mom when she was an infant. Megan gently, and with such understanding, helped me (with tools that) … worked, and she moved quickly through a lot of areas of recovery! She and I are very strongly connected and she is much less reactive and anxious than she was. It is amazing to see the transformation in her and it feels great to know how to respond to her when she is struggling….The tools I have learned while working with Megan have not only been of benefit to my own family, they will help me in my work as a preschool teacher. I am so grateful to Megan and Calm the Storm. I highly recommend her for helping to strengthen the relationships in your life!”
