What You're Feeling Is Real –
And You're Not Alone

Parenting wasn’t supposed to feel like this.

You love your child deeply, but some days feel impossibly hard. You're navigating tantrums, sleepless nights, constant second-guessing, and the heavy weight of trying to "get it right"—often with little support, confusing advice, and an overwhelming pressure to perform. Maybe you fear that...

When It Comes to Sleep...

“They’ll only sleep on me and everyone says I’m creating bad habits.”
“I’m exhausted, but I can’t bring myself to let them cry it out.”
“I thought we’d be sleeping by now... what am I doing wrong?”
“Bedtime battles leave me feeling frustrated and defeated.”

When It Comes to Discipline & Behavior...

“They’re so defiant—nothing I say seems to work.”
“I don't want to yell, but I don't know what else to do.”
“I was raised differently and want to break the cycle... but how?”
“Their emotions are so big—and mine are too.”

When It Comes to Expectations...

“Am I expecting too much? Or not enough?”
“They’re not hitting milestones like other kids their age.”
“Shouldn't they be sleeping through the night by now?”
“I want to follow my instincts, but everyone keeps telling me I’m doing it wrong.”

You’re not broken. And your child isn’t either.

You just need support that honors both of you—something that aligns with your values, makes sense developmentally, and helps restore peace and confidence to your parenting journey.

Meet Lacey Capshaw

A mom who followed her instincts—and now helps you trust yours.

When my daughter was just four months old and struggling through a sleep progression, the advice I found told me to ignore my instincts. But leaving her to cry alone never felt right. So I began searching for a better way—one that honored both her needs and mine. That journey led me to study infant sleep, nervous system health, attachment science, and conscious parenting—and ultimately, to create The Family Gateway.

Today, I help parents like you find rest, rhythm, and connection without sacrificing your intuition. I’m certified through Isla Grace and the Jai Institute for Parenting, and I bring over six years of study in child development, airway health, oral ties, and beyond to this work. But most of all, I bring heart. I believe peaceful nights and connected days are possible—without pressure, shame, or quick fixes.

I'm not really the "emotional" type. Will this still work for me?

Yes! This course isn’t about becoming soft or sentimental—it’s about learning to lead your family with calm, clarity, and steady presence. It’s built for dads who want tools that actually work—not just theory or fluff.
What if my partner is the one doing most of the parenting work right now?

That’s even more reason to join. This course will help you step into your role with confidence, take more initiative, and bring a calm, supportive energy into the day-to-day parenting rhythm—without competing or feeling behind.
Is this course going to make me feel guilty or like I’ve been doing everything wrong?

Not at all. This course is judgment-free. It's built to offer clarity, hope, and practical tools—not guilt trips. You’ll walk away feeling encouraged, not condemned.
What if I feel like I’ve already blown it with my kid?

Then this course is exactly for you. Repair is possible—and powerful. One of the most important things a child can experience is a parent who’s willing to come back, take responsibility, and choose a new way forward. This course will guide you in doing just that.
I’m super busy—how much time will this take?

Each lesson is short (around 10–15 minutes), and you can go at your own pace. The course is designed to fit into your life—not overwhelm it.
Will this course help if I struggle with my own anger or stress?

Yes. One of the core modules is all about regulation—how to recognize when you’re triggered, how to stay grounded, and how to repair when you lose it. This course helps you build those tools from the inside out. However, this course is not a replacement for medical advice from a licensed practitioner.
I’ve tried other parenting approaches and they didn’t work. What makes this different?

Leading With Heart isn’t about scripts or perfection. It’s not a one-size-fits-all method—it’s a mindset shift. This course helps you understand what's underneath behavior, how to lead with emotional steadiness, and how to make real change without fear or shame. It's built for real life, not ideal circumstances.
Can I do this even if I don’t live with my child full-time?

Absolutely. Whether you're a full-time, part-time, or long-distance dad, the tools in this course will help you build a more trusting, secure connection—no matter how much time you have together.
What if I don’t finish the course right away?

That’s totally okay. You have lifetime access and can move through the lessons at your own pace. You can revisit the content anytime you need a reset or reminder.
I’ve never taken a parenting course before—is this going to be over my head?

Not at all. Every lesson is designed to be clear, relatable, and practical. No jargon, no fluff—just simple tools and reflections that speak directly to your real, day-to-day parenting experience.
What’s your refund policy?

Because this is a digital course with instant access to all lessons and downloadable content, purchases are non-refundable. We’ve packed the course with real, practical value—and we encourage you to read through the course description, preview materials, or reach out with questions before enrolling to make sure it’s the right fit for you.
