Parenting Potential is all about the primary parent on a journey of personal growth with the intention of making meaningful impact on their children as well as themselves. By taking small steps regularly, mountains can be scaled that once seemed insurmountable. The Parenting Potential app offers videos, articles, journal prompts, a gallery of motivational images, courses, and a directory of resources all designed to support you. These are organized into topics so you can focus on what you are interested in. The initial topics include Plant-Based Parenting, Parenting Self-Sufficient Children, Stress Free Self-Care, Qigong, and Maximize My Time. As part of our growing family, you will be welcomed to our community and encouraged to try new tips that we have had success with. As the creator of Parenting Potential, Eva Raposa is expressing her life's purpose to help children by helping their parents. All the lessons, tips, and tricks she gathers intentionally will be added value to you, without the need to seek it out yourself. * Some additional feature that will be added in time will include a communication section, so you can get questions answered by other app members who have experience with what you are going through and have valuable insight to share. This is like a social media support group but without the distractions. * Live courses will be held in the app where you can watch the recording live or on your own time. The app will hold your place in the course, and you can even view it on a web page if that is easier for you. * E-books are on their way, so you can get a good chunk of information on your most pressing issues in a short book format. * Membership to the app is free (when you opt-in) and comes with additional resources that enhance your experience within the app. Taking simple baby steps, you will be amazed at how far you go with our support!

Most personality tools tell you what you want to hear. Your Shadow tells you what you need to know. Built on two of the most rigorously validated instruments in personality science. The Short Dark Triad (SD3) and the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) are Your Shadow measures the psychological dimensions that shape how you connect, compete, and sometimes harm the people around you. DARK TRIAD ASSESSMENT The SD3 instrument quantifies your levels of Narcissism, Machiavellianism, and Psychopathy across 27 precisely calibrated questions. Results are scored against population norms and expressed as percentiles, a grounded view of where you actually fall on each dimension, not a flattering approximation. ATTACHMENT STYLE ASSESSMENT The ECR-R framework measures the two core axes of adult attachment: Anxiety and Avoidance. Across 36 questions, Your Shadow maps how early relational patterns continue to govern your behavior in close relationships and how those patterns interact with the people you choose. PROFILE OTHERS Build psychological profiles of the people in your life partners, colleagues, family members using the same validated instruments. Shadow Compatibility compares any two profiles side by side, revealing the forces driving your most important relationships and where friction is likely to emerge. SHADOW LENS - AI CONVERSATION ANALYSIS Paste a real conversation, a text exchange, an email, a message chain and Shadow Lens decodes the underlying dynamics. It surfaces manipulation patterns, attachment behaviors, and dark trait expressions embedded in ordinary language. This feature changes how you read people. TRACK CHANGE OVER TIME The Daily Shadow Check delivers brief reflection questions that build a longitudinal record of your psychological state. Combined with score history, Your Shadow gives you the data to observe how traits shift across contexts, relationships, and time. Your Shadow is not a horoscope. It is a precision instrument for self-aware adults who want to understand the psychological forces shaping their lives and who are prepared to see what is actually there. SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS Your Shadow offers optional auto-renewable subscriptions to unlock full reports, Shadow Lens, and profiling features. • Weekly: $4.99/week • Monthly: $9.99/month Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings.
