Speaker Bios:



Lauren McKenzie, M.A., C.P.C. 


Adults get emotionally worn out when kids are difficult to deal with, and this wreaks havoc in every area of their lives. Lauren McKenzie is an adult-child relationship strategist. Using a proven framework, she shows grown ups how to take control of their emotions and positively engage with kids so they can gain cooperation, escape overwhelm, and show up as the best version of themselves.  


With an extensive background in education, the specialization of a certified professional life coach, and a heart to point families toward the truth of the gospel, Lauren guides families on their journey from chaos to calm.
