Evolving Family Life

Evolving Family Life

Evolving Family Life probably a little different than other pages you find here on Substack. It’s not just articles or videos. And, it’s not a program or a product.

It’s a rhythm. A remembering. A weekly current of warmth, clarity, and connection for humans raising humans — and remembering themselves.

Each week, I offer a simple cadence:

• Tuesdays: Evolving Parenthood
  Live calls focused on raising humans with presence, clarity, and trust. We explore development, regulation, and the real-life beauty and mess of family life.

• Thursdays: Evolving Personhood
  A free, open-to-all gathering for tuning in, coming home, and being with what’s alive beneath the surface. These calls are about you beyond your roles.

• Fridays: Field Guide
  A soulful, no-fluff e-booklet with reminders, prompts, and grounding practices to help you stay steady and aligned.

This isn't parenting advice. This is humanhood support. It's a space to be with what is — and to grow from there.

Whether you’re raising little Ones, big Ones, or your own inner One, Evolving Family Life meets you where you are and offers gentle guidance for wherever you’re going.

About Me

I’m Dr. Carrie Contey. I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology with a focus on prenatal and perinatal development, and I've spent over two decades guiding parents, caregivers, and conscious humans in growing alongside the Ones they love.

But more than that, I’m someone who’s devoted her life to developing aliveness. To living on purpose. To helping others come home to themselves while navigating the joys and challenges of family life.

This rhythm is the overflow of that devotion.

This Stuff Works!

After our parenting calls with you, a spell happens over our home. Everyone shifts. The week is better. The energy softens. Time with you changes us in a deep, deep way.

Your weekly call is a gift. I love what you think about, and how you offer it in a way that allows it to come alive in me. What a precious community you’ve built.
— Elana

Everything I now have was once a dream... Your stories, your pearls of wisdom, and this beautiful community remind me to keep stepping into mine. — Licia

Thank you for showing me what an intentional life looks like — and how to ask for what I want. Even in a full season, I feel grounded in joy. — Janine

Life is lifing and your words are flowing through me. You are goodness, Carrie. This is a labor of love, and I’m so grateful to receive it. — Julie

Let this be a place where you pause, breathe, and come home to yourself.

You’re not alone — not even close. And if you need a reminder: you’re doing better than you think. You and your people are learning, growing, unfolding — exactly as you’re meant to. There’s space for all of it here. There’s space for you.
You’ve got this!

With deep appreciation and love,
Carrie
