Next Level Parenting
Meet the 12-week 1:1 coaching intensive that equips you with the tangible tools for tackling parenthood.
You’re a whole human — who also happens to have a kid or three.
Being a parent is some of the most important work we’ll ever do.
That said, we didn’t sign on for the expectation that parenthood would consume our entire identities. (Can I speak with the manager about this bull?)
Between playing chauffeur, support system, and sounding board, it’s no wonder parents around the world are losing sight of what makes us better moms:
Accepting and embracing our imperfections.
Reclaiming our confidence, core strength, and stability.
And leading through the example of living our lives.
— Spoiler Alert —
Parenthood isn’t actually about raising our kids.
It’s about raising ourselves.
You and I both know that parenthood tests our emotional and physical limits at every turn.
And the super fun bonus? It also triggers our own sh#t.
The old stuff we shoved to the back of our closets, and vowed to deal with later.
Well, later is knocking at your door and asking you to open up. It’s time to resolve the past for a better future for & with your family.
That’s where Next Level Parenting comes in.
It’s the 12-week 1:1 private coaching intensive that shifts the way you show up for your family — and yourself.
We’re talking:
⇨ Customized coaching that works with your daily life & unique situation — because this is vulnerable stuff, and it works best in private sessions between the two of us.
⇨ Remembering who you are — what sets you off, lights you up, and gets you feeling fulfilled.
⇨ Tapping into your self-awareness so the decisions you make aren’t rushed or reactive, but grounded and informed.
⇨ Decreasing the tension in your core relationships, so communication opens up for what comes next
⇨ Releasing the idea of parental control, and stepping into a whole new world of ease and confidence. (Just you wait.)
⇨ Finally having a real conversation with your teen, and connecting on a human level, person-to-person.
⇨ Having forever access to the tangible tools for handling the hilariously unexpected whirlwind that’s raising another human
I would love to see your face. Let’s talk about it.
Book a totally free 30-minute Zoom call with me. It’s just a convo between you and I so we can make sure this program will actually benefit you & the people you love.
“Lara has been a huge part of why I’ve been able to accomplish what I have
It has been essential for me to have Lara in my life as my coach. Everyday I am reminded to be who I am now, not my wounded self. Lara has been a great support and I am so thankful to have her in my life!

Hey! I’m Lara Postma, The Imperfect Parent.
And all I wanted was for my teen son to put down his phone, make eye contact, and tell me about his day using more than 4 words. (We got there eventually.)
I created the Great Relate — and this program — based on my experience as a certified coach and being a mom.
With a Bachelor’s in Psychology, Masters in Counseling, and 9 years coaching parents and teens, I know a thing or two about our parenting behaviors and what us parents desire most.
This is your place for getting a little respite.
For gathering the no-nonsense tools and resources that debunk parenthood and carve new paths.
For sitting down, pouring some tea, and being a part of the parenting collective.
So glad you’re here.
“The life coaching that my daughter and received by Lara was life changing.”
I learned how to listen, really listen . Lara was the shoulder my daughter and I could lean on and we feel she walked the path with us to help realize that all we wanted was to love each other unconditionally.

So, what actually IS Next Level Parenting?
Next Level Parenting is:
The tools & mental workouts to train your brain to be rock steady.
It’s an equipment shed of a carefully-curated curriculum that sets you up to get in the ring. Y’know, the fighting ring with your inner critic, shame, and the need to control it all. (No judgement here. I’ve totally been there.)
And it’s the place you’ll come back to as a reminder of the headway you’re making. Every single day.
Next Level Parenting is NOT:
A place for advice or quick fixes for your kids’ specific behaviors.
The focus will be on you, the one person you do have control over.
“We’re so thankful for all Lara has done to help our family!”
Lara is such a kind, caring and devoted person. There was no doubt when my daughter needed some coaching and direction with many changes in her life that Lara was the person to guide her.

“Lara helped me find my courage, my confidence, and my power that I’d misplaced somewhere along the way.”
In finding these things again I was able to make some huge life changes that were much needed. She simply encouraged me, held me accountable, coached me to where she knew I wanted and needed to be in order to move forward in growth. She has a way of making me feel completely comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone.

“She is a BAD ASS!!! There is no other way to say it. ”
My issue for as long as I could remember was establishing my boundaries. I now know that my boundaries and beliefs are the exact same. The sessions are simple. They feel natural. Which In turn allows me to feel more open and willing to dig deeper. She brings comfort I can’t explain to anyone but awesome!! My most favorite part about her, there is NO BS. THERE IS NO feeling sorry for yourself. Lara is a Life Improvement Coach. I’m excited about my future.
