Welcome to COR Conversations. My name is Caley Kukla and I’ve spent more than a decade supporting children and families with challenging behaviors.
As a mom of two, I appreciate how overwhelming and exhausting parenthood can often be. So I’m taking all of my professional knowledge and experience and combining it with real life, not just theory, to change the dialogue around parenting. We’ll have powerful conversations and practical tools that will inspire you to get to the heart, or the COR of your child’s behavior and make simple yet impactful changes.

In honor of Thanksgiving, this personal episode shares our NICU experience this past summer. As scary and overwhelming as the experience was, we felt loved, supported, and held by our community. We continue to be humbled and overwhelmed with gratitude. This is our essay of “thanks” to all of our loved ones that we hope will serve as a resource for listeners to be a force of healing and love in the world.
Much love,
Caley, Nicholas & Family
