Finally. Parenting help when you just need to know what to do.
The Drop-In is your weekly reset: Come as you are—commiserate, get support, and leave knowing your next move.
Stop battling.
Start building.
You don’t need another parenting course.
You need a place where you can:
—Ask the hard question without shame
—Get an answer you can use that night
—Leave knowing that you’re not the only one going through this.
That’s what The Drop-In was built for.

THE DROP-IN
Join other moms of daughters for 60 minutes each week, and leave with:
Real-time coaching on the challenges you bring.
Small do-able steps (MicroSteps) that you can put into practice right away.
Community encouragement from moms walking the same road.
Ongoing accountability so you—and your child—keep moving forward.
ASK. ANSWER. ACTION.
This is for all the moms who grab me at the grocery store or on the sidelines after practice and say, “Can I just ask you one quick question?”
That’s what The Drop-In delivers.
TRACTION IN THE MOMENT
Parenting doesn’t wait for books and courses. You need something for the heat of the moment—no spiraling, snapping, or second-guessing.
That’s why The Drop-In works.
PRACTICAL PIVOTS THAT WORK
This isn’t theory. And it’s not another list of rules. It’s about real, practical shifts—moves that actually change the tone at home. Today.
That’s the power of The Drop-In.

“In one session, Mary gave me a simple shift that completely changed how my daughter reacts to me. I was all the proof the other moms needed!”
— Kathleen Tian, Mom to 2
“Before working with Mary, I felt like I was failing as a parent—and, honestly, as a human. Now, I see my child differently, I respond differently, and I feel so much more in control. The MicroStep Method is truly life-changing.”
About
As a mother of four daughters, Mary Willcox Smith encountered the same daily struggles that many parents know so well.
Those “pile-on” moments can easily lead to disconnection, anxiety, frustration, guilt, and helplessness. Determined to empower families to address challenges early and catch worrisome behaviors while they are small, Mary created the MicroStep Method: a simple, research-driven approach that transforms how we show up in our daily interactions to create meaningful connections, growth, and lasting impact.
A Master Certified Life Coach and Positive Discipline Expert, Mary helps navigate the hard parts of parenting so moms (and dads!) can feel empowered, equipped, and ready to handle whatever life — and their kids — throw their way.
One intentional moment at a time.
