COURSE

The Parent You Want To Be

With Justin Francisco

Let’s face it: Parenting can be hard and stressful... It can also be quite wondrous and gratifying to see the most enjoyable aspects of ourselves mirrored in our children. If you are a perfect parent, you can stop reading. If you’re as messy and inconsistent as my wife and I, welcome to the struggle. This isn't a course to tell you how to raise your children or tell you how you're doing something right or wrong. This course is designed to transform, awaken, and elevate your inner self. We are not changing who you are, just removing who you are not. This course will help you create space for more love, compassion, and joy in every moment of your parenting journey. There is never a perfect time to have children, so for the most part, we can never truly be prepared for the boundless love and array of difficult challenges we are soon faced with almost daily. I promise that during the next 21 days, you will experience a full range of emotions. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will love. Each new day will forever shift you to a deeper, calmer, more peaceful, loving, joyful, and compassionate connection with yourself, with your child, and everyone else around you. Each day is accompanied by music compositions with specific frequencies designed to deepen your experience subconsciously. Whenever we decide to try something new like this, we may find the first few days feeling uncertain and a bit weird. It's okay - this is a natural part of the journey. Mastering this hesitancy is often the most challenging and rewarding part of the process, so stick with it because these 21 days will forever change your life and your children. One last thing: Don't try and look for instant results. Focus on instead going deeper in your meditation each day. Breakthroughs will come, along with subtle shifts you may not even realize until months down the line. Shifting your focus away from your child and directly into your inner self will give the best opportunity for transformation into the parent you deeply desire.

A 21-Day Journey From Stress and Reactivity to Calm, Connection, and Compassion

Justin Francisco is a husband, father, entrepreneur, and meditation teacher who believes that the quality of our lives begins with the quality of our closest relationships. After 15 years of marriage, Justin continues to cherish life with his wife and their two children: Aria, born in 2015, and Weston, born in 2018. Some of his favorite moments include watching Aria ride horses, watching Weston dance, traveling together as a family, relaxing by the backyard pool, and simply enjoying time with the people he loves. For more than 13 years, Justin has successfully built and operated his own email management business. While entrepreneurship has taught him how to create results in business, becoming a husband and father has taught him that true success is found in presence, connection, and peace. Justin began meditating daily in 2019 and later became a meditation teacher. Through his own practice, he discovered that becoming calmer, more compassionate, and more connected within himself positively transformed the way he showed up for his wife, his children, and everyone around him. When he is not working or meditating, Justin enjoys exercising, golfing, traveling, spending time with friends, and relaxing at home with his family. At the heart of Justin’s work is a simple belief: when we deepen our connection with ourselves and the people we love most, every other area of life begins to feel more meaningful, peaceful, and fulfilling.
