Helping families and individuals live with more regulation, resilience, and compassion.
Jennifer Tollefsrud writes about parenting, health, stress, and surviving modern life with equal parts research, realism, and sarcasm. A Gen-X parent herself, she helps families unlearn outdated parenting and lifestyle patterns while keeping the resilience that got us this far. When she’s not writing or coaching, she’s creating something artistic, drinking tea she forgot to reheat, or negotiating peace treaties between humans and cats.

Jennifer Tollefsrud is a writer, creative entrepreneur, and restorative parenting advocate who believes healing and growth begin with understanding, not perfection.
Her work focuses on restorative parenting, nervous system health, chronic stress rehabilitation, and the realities of raising families while navigating modern life. Writing from a Gen-X perspective, Jennifer blends lived experience, dark humor, and compassionate insight to explore how we care for ourselves and our relationships in a world that often asks us to move too fast.
Here you’ll find reflections from her book on restorative parenting, along with essays exploring health, stress, resilience, and the complicated realities of living in today’s world. Drawing from lived experience, coaching work, and a Gen-X perspective shaped somewhere between independence and actual chaos, her writing focuses on practical compassion...for ourselves, our families, and our communities.
Jennifer's Substack (agenxguideto.substack.com) is for parents, thinkers, caregivers, and anyone trying to stay grounded while navigating change, burnout, and the constant noise of current events.
No perfection. No parenting shame. Just thoughtful conversations about how we live better ... together.
