Meet Sue Donnellan, a wife, mom of four, entrepreneur, author, once reluctant parent, and a reformed yeller. Her journey into parenthood was not one of immediate grace but of learning, unlearning, and real transformation.

Early on, Sue recognized that those with the most to learn often become the most impactful teachers. This realization fueled her two decades of dedicated work, during which she had the privilege of mentoring hundreds of exhausted parents across the globe.

Sue’s approach to parenting, rooted in both personal and professional growth, led her to author the book, Secrets to Parenting Without Giving a F^ck. This work encapsulates her philosophy that effective parenting doesn’t have to involve conflict and stress but can be an experience of learning and love. Building on this, Sue created the Fight Free Parenting™ Course, alongside a variety of resources aimed at nurturing happy, harmonious families. True success in parenting, for Sue, is measured not just during childhood — but in maintaining a joyful, respectful relationship with your children as they grow into adulthood.

Her mission is simple yet profound: to help parents and children enjoy being around each other, fostering connections that last a lifetime.

As a mother who has balanced raising four kids (including triplets) with a full-time business and a husband who deployed to war five times, I fully understand the demands on parents to successfully manage a busy family life. The steep learning curve of going from one to four children almost instantly kickstarted my methods for nurturing four unique individuals. My no-nonsense, judgement-free parenting style created an environment of freedom, flexibility and self-initiated learning for our kids. After twenty years in the trenches, parenting four happy, prosperous people, there is much to share that will make the entire process stress-free, effective and fun.
