[ Nationwide ] - Parenthood is an immensely rewarding yet challenging journey, from the early stages of pregnancy to the complexities of raising children. Navigating these experiences often requires support and guidance. One organization offering such support is POSH Parenthood: Coaching & Consulting, led by Dr. Shanelle Bolton. With a focus on a holistic approach, POSH Parenthood provides personalized coaching and resources designed to empower parents and educators, support children, and foster family well-being.
Founded by Dr. Shanelle Bolton, an expert in educational leadership and family support, POSH Parenthood takes a comprehensive approach to parenting. The program integrates professional expertise with Dr. Bolton’s personal experience, offering services that range from fertility support and IVF coaching to executive functioning strategies for children. This broad range of support is intended to meet the diverse needs of today’s families.
“Every parent deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. Our mission is to provide a holistic approach to parenting that empowers families to thrive at every stage of their journey,” Dr. Bolton said.
A Personalized, Empathetic Approach
What distinguishes POSH Parenthood is its ability to cater to the unique circumstances of each family. Dr. Bolton’s services are tailored to address specific needs, whether that involves guiding parents through the emotional challenges of IVF, providing strategies for developing executive functioning skills in children, or offering support to single parents by choice. Dr. Bolton’s own experience as a single mother, combined with her expertise in early childhood development, shapes her empathetic approach to coaching.
Support for Single Parents by Choice
A key focus of POSH Parenthood is supporting single parents by choice, a group that often faces distinct challenges. As a single mother by choice herself, Dr. Bolton is well aware of the emotional and logistical complexities this path entails. POSH Parenthood provides a supportive community for single parents to share resources, advice, and experiences.
“Being a single parent by choice can sometimes feel isolating. My goal is to offer resources and emotional support to help these parents thrive in their journey,” Dr. Bolton explained.
As the number of single parents by choice continues to grow, the demand for specialized support increases. POSH Parenthood offers guidance on managing the emotional challenges of raising children alone and building confidence to navigate difficult decisions.
Promoting Executive Functioning for Academic Success
POSH Parenthood also emphasizes the importance of executive functioning skills for children. These skills—such as emotional regulation, problem-solving, and time management—are critical for both academic and personal success. Teaching children to manage their emotions and organize their thoughts early on helps set the foundation for their future development.
“Executive functioning skills are essential for success in both school and life, in general,” said Dr. Bolton. “By supporting children in developing these abilities, we are providing them with the tools they need to excel.”
Through coaching and resources, POSH Parenthood helps parents and educators create environments where their children can develop these skills, ensuring they are prepared for the challenges ahead.
A Holistic Approach to Family Well-Being
POSH Parenthood’s all-encompassing approach goes beyond simple parenting advice. It recognizes that the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of both parents and children are interconnected. By supporting parents in their self-care, emotional resilience, and overall well-being, POSH Parenthood aims to create a balanced foundation for family life.
Dr. Bolton’s advocacy for maternal health, particularly Black maternal health, is also an integral part of POSH Parenthood. Her passion for reproductive health and her non-judgmental approach provide a safe space for parents to process their experiences, especially for those facing fertility or pregnancy challenges.
Expanding the Conversation with the POSH Parenthood Unfiltered Podcast
In 2025, POSH Parenthood will expand its reach with the launch of the POSH Parenthood Unfiltered podcast. The podcast will feature conversations with experts, interviews with parents, and insights on a variety of topics relevant to modern families. It will address issues like early childhood education, the challenges of single parenthood, and navigating the ups and downs of parenting.
"The podcast will create a deeper bond with parents by sharing valuable insights and experiences," Dr. Bolton noted. "We aim to empower parents and support them in navigating the day-to-day challenges of their parenting journey."
Looking Ahead: Supporting Families at Every Stage
Ultimately, POSH Parenthood’s goal is to empower parents, support children, and transform families. By combining expert guidance with a compassionate, holistic approach, POSH Parenthood helps families not only succeed, but thrive. Families who engage with POSH Parenthood are better equipped to navigate the challenges of parenting and create lasting positive change in their lives.
“We’re here to help families grow,” Dr. Bolton emphasized. “Every parent deserves to feel supported and confident in their role, and we provide the resources to make that happen.”
