Purejoy Parenting
8-Week Intensive 5-Stage Model Training
Calling all mental health professionals!
Begins April 2023 – 2 seats left
If you’re here you feel overwhelmed and under-equipped to support your clients with their parenting.
AND OF COURSE, YOU DO!
Nobody teaches us this stuff. I know you’ve got years of training (I’ve got them too), but none of that training is about parenting.
Well let’s change that…
If you’re here you see how important parenting is, both for your clients and for their children (who, spoiler alert, will become the next generation of adults).
This is exactly why I believe that by supporting parents we are changing the world and why I train mental health professionals to learn the 5-stage Purejoy model and expand their practices to supporting parents.

“Until I found Purejoy, I often felt overwhelmed in my work as a Family Counselor, especially after becoming a parent myself. The Purejoy Parent Coach Training gave me such profound insight into the heart of my clients’ family and parenting struggles, as well as my own! The coaching practices I learned in this training have transformed me professionally and personally and enabled me to discover and ignite the pure joy and love inside of myself and my clients.” –Carrie Miller, PPCC graduate
What the Purejoy model is about
The Purejoy 5-stage model was created out of Leslie Potter’s mothering journey, her professional experience working with at-risk teens, and her deep curiosity about the human experience. This work has supported hundreds of parents to transform their darkest moments into guiding lights, illuminating and creating environments where children are invited to be exactly who they are in this lifetime!
Who I am…
Sitting there as “the professional therapist” trying to figure out what to say to support this stressed mom or dad in parenting their children and having no idea what to say?
I sure have, and it’s not what I call a good time.
My name is Leslie Potter, I’m the founder of Purejoy Parenting and I’ve been a practicing therapist for over 30 years.
Over the first 10 years of running my practice, I wasn’t a parent and I realized two things:
1.) I really didn’t know how to support my clients with their parenting. I was good (maybe even great) at supporting them as people, but when it came to supporting their parenting, my only reference point was the broken model of parenting that our culture gives us.
2.) If parents were given a healthy model of parenting, kids would grow up into healthier and happier adults, which would solve all kinds of problems.
Those two realizations were great, but they didn’t solve the problem, that I still didn’t know how to support my clients in their parenting.
Then at age 44, I became a mother myself, and my world imploded.
Saying I was overwhelmed and exhausted is an understatement.
I knew I had to change my approach to parenting.
In the midst of the most difficult time of my life, I discovered a foundational shift that had to take place, and this changed everything for me. My relationship with my daughter started to improve, and in this shift, I found the support that I needed as a single mother.
As I applied this shift, things continued to change, they got better, A LOT better…it wasn’t long before I was enjoying parenting again (well a good portion of the time 😉).
I added Parent Coaching to my therapy practice. Supporting parents has been the most rewarding work that I’ve done in my life. Through the Purejoy model, which I created from my years of working with parents, I’ve supported hundreds of families and changed the lives of both parents and kids (I’m talking the future generations here), for the better.

“Having admired Leslie and her work for a few years prior to the training, I went in simply wanting to understand and experience the Purejoy concepts firsthand. Little did I know that the training will begin a transformation akin to Grand re-Design project and affect not only my parenting but all my relationships. Thanks to Leslie, Purejoy community, and the training itself, I have experienced the most rapid and profound adulting and learned skills that enrich and support me and my family in daily life. This training was no doubt the best gift I have ever given myself. “
Elena Nalimova, PPCC Graduate
It is my deepest desire to share this work with others.
Our society is at a crisis point and I believe together we can create a new environment in our homes and support the shift needed in the world. Purejoy shows you the way. The Purejoy Model supports parents to create a safe environment in their homes for themselves and their children, building unconditional confidence, and promoting emotional and physical well being.
