Mom of 23-year-old
"After working with Kim, I can say my daughter and I have a healthier relationship. We now talk to each other with respect (which was sorely lacking) and I’ve learned how to affectively use my voice (taking out the judgment from my tone). I understand how to talk with her instead of what I was doing (and how I experienced my parents) which was talking at her. I felt like Kim really listened and asked the right questions to help me get the confidence I needed and start being consistent in the way I was interacting. I learned when it was about me, and when to step back and let my daughter deal with her own stuff."

"The work with Kim is helping me build my own toolbox. It has taught me how to be of support and at the same time empower our kids to navigate the challenges of life themselves, without constantly clearing the path of every obstacle and instead providing them with opportunities to grow through failure, trial and error and subsequently earn and own their successes and achievements. “I was at my wits end with my 22-year-old son when I found Kim’s videos and I knew I wanted to work with her. Like she says, “Parenting kids 18-25 can be the most mentally challenging.” She was invested in seeing me meet the goals I’d set out for our work together. She called me out on some inconsistencies that led to my son’s continued use of alcohol with no real consequences. I got it together with her support and now I am the parent my son needs me to be as he continues to grow into an independent adult."

Dad of an alcoholic in recovery
"My wife and I didn’t know how to proceed when our son (26) seemed to be out of control in his use of alcohol. We didn’t know what the next step was after he’d received his second DUI. We met with Kim to talk about what the boundaries should be, if our son needed treatment, and how to get him to go if he didn’t want to go. What we gained from the experience was support for our feelings, a concrete plan of action, and the peace of mind of knowing we were not alone even though we felt like all the other parents we knew had what we thought were “successful” kids. I’d highly recommend Kim’s coaching services."

Mom of three young adults
"Kim has been a godsend! I was at my wits end with my young adult son and daughter and Kim’s calm, centered approach to helping me break down the “real” issues was what helped create the strategy that was needed to build trust and productive communication with my kids. Highly recommend!"

"I highly recommend Kim Muench to any parent who is looking for guidance in raising their young adult children in a complex and complicated world. Her personalized coaching approach, deep understanding of family dynamics, largely through her own experience with her five children, and her ability to provide practical strategies has been an invaluable resource for me."

"Kim worked with my parents at first and then they asked me if I would share my perspective in a session so Kim talked and I decided to do a few sessions alone, I also did some with my parents. I felt like Kim was able to listen to my side of things and then share with my parents in a way they could understand that I just wasn’t able to do. I also better understood my parent’s perspective and Kim was helpful to bridge the gap we had in talking with each other."

"I was tired of investing money in my daughter and hoping things would change. When I finally invested in myself, it wasn’t easy...but it did pay off."
