Why I Believe Growth Is Possible — Even on the Hard Days
I See the Exhaustion, Guilt, and Daily Power Struggles You’re Carrying
I see you doing everything you can to be a calm, present parent—and still finding yourself pulled into the same power struggles, day after day.
I see you exhausted from repeating yourself, negotiating, explaining, and wondering why these moments keep escalating.
I see you reacting in ways that don’t feel like you—raising your voice, snapping, or shutting down—then carrying guilt and self-judgment afterward.
I see you knowing what you “should” do, yet feeling disconnected from that wisdom in the moment when emotions rise.
I see you feeling triggered by your child’s behavior in ways that surprise you, especially when you care so deeply about doing things differently.
And I see how isolating this can feel—especially when it seems like everyone else has it together.
Most of all, I see how much you care.
Because if you didn’t, this wouldn’t hurt the way it does.
The good news is you don’t have to remain stuck in this pattern.
My Path to Supporting Parents Through Emotional Regulation & Power Struggles
Welcome. I’m Lati Ghanem - founder of Living In Progress and a certified trauma-informed Life and Conscious Parenting coach trained by Dr. Shefali Tsabary.
Before this work, I spent over 15 years in high-pressure communications and leadership roles guiding executives and teams through moments where clarity, emotional steadiness, and intentional response mattered most.
But this work didn’t begin in boardrooms.
It began with patterns.
I was the one who held it together.
The one who stayed calm— until I didn’t.
The one who over-explained, over-gave, and tried to control outcomes to avoid losing connection.
And when I reacted in ways I didn’t recognize, the hardest part wasn’t the moment, it was the shame.
“I know better… so why did I react like that?”
What I learned changed everything.
Awareness doesn’t automatically lead to change.
Insight isn’t helpful if you don’t know what to do in the moment.
And our reactions aren’t about willpower or getting it “right.”
They’re about patterns we’ve carried for a long time—automatic emotional responses shaped long before we ever step into caregiving roles.
And when they go unexamined, power struggles become the place they surface most intensely.
The good news?
Patterns can be understood.
They can be softened.
And they can be changed with awareness, compassion, and practice.
You don’t need perfection.
You don’t need rigid rules.
And you don’t need to shame yourself into change.
You need tools and support that meet you in the moment —when emotions run high and connection feels hardest.
That is the work I support.
A Little More About Me
(Because Connection Matters)
I was born in Colombia and moved to Miami at 18, raised by parents of Lebanese descent. My life has been shaped by layered cultures, traditions, and family dynamics.
I’m the youngest of four daughters, which taught me early about roles, emotional responsibility, and relational patterns—dynamics I now see reflected in adult life and parenting every day.
Cooking is one of my favorite creative outlets. My kitchen blends Lebanese, Latin, Asian-inspired, and comfort foods—we rarely know what’s for dinner, and that feels about right.
I’m deeply committed to my own inner work and to breaking patterns as they appear. Growth isn’t something I teach from a distance—it’s something I practice, daily.
And I share my days with two Boston Terriers, Rocco and Bruno—my constant companions and very enthusiastic coworkers.
You Don’t Have to Navigate Parenting Power Struggles Alone
If any of this resonates, you’re not alone.
You’re in progress.
And I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
