.... Soon to be released - Fall '26

~ A very AUTHENTIC instructional memoir - from personal and professional experiences / development.

It has nothing to do with being a "perfect" parent and far from it - It's about evolving with our children and being a "conscious" parent.

Apparently in my 40's, I have traded babies for BOOKS and BUSINESSES

Writing and publishing a book is basically like birthing another baby - And the 1st is only 1 1/2 - 🤣
... EXCEPT this one takes:
>> Months of staring at a screen
>> Shifting directions multiple times.
>> Questioning your life choices
>> Rewriting the same sentence 47 times
>> Wondering will a publishing co like it?... And wondering if anyone will actually like it.

There are the OMG!! I think, "I have something here " moments!

The, I think "this is brilliant" moments

The "This is absolute garbage, what was I thinking? "moments

The "I need to rewrite the entire chapter" moments
... And eventually, the I'm done" I'm actually DONE moment". Followed immediately by, "WAIT!!!!!" ... "did I forget something?" moment

But just like raising a child, creating something of your own teaches you things you couldn't fully learn any other way.

>> Patience
>> Humility
>> Persistence
>> Trust
>> Letting go of control

And perhaps the hardest lesson of all:

You can pour your heart, soul, experience, mistakes, wisdom, and countless hours into something....and eventually, you have to release it into the world and let it become what it is meant to become

At this stage of life. I am very far removed from having any more actual babies

So apparently, my books and businesses are my babies in my 40's....As my actual babies are far removed from being babies.

(Stay tuned as more business endeavors and books are on the horizon. -
.... And just like children

I hope they grow up to make themselves proud and PAY IT FORWARD in making a POSITIVE difference in the truest evolution of life.

il dolce far niente- The sweetness of doing nothing

08/21/2026

A new school year is more than a fresh start for our children - it is an opportunity to support their emotional growth, too.

As routines change and expectations increase, children may experience excitement, anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, uncertainty.

One of the most powerful things we can give them is not another reminder to "do their best", "pay attention", or "work hard"

Rather it is a safe place to talk about what they are feeling, make mistakes, ask for help, and learn to navigate the hard moments.

Simple questions, like ....
What felt esay today?
What felt hard?
What felt like it came naturally to you?
What felt like it challenged you
What felt boring?
What felt exciting?
... Often provides more feedback, than simply asking "how was your day"?

Those simple questions and conversations build emotional awareness, connection, and resilience over time.

As parents, educators, and caregivers, we have an incredible opportunity this school year to teach children not just what to learn but how to understand themselves while they learn.

Here's to a school year filled with growth, connection, curiosity.

BEHIND EVERY LESSON, ASSIGNMENT, AND NEW BEGINNING IS A CHILD LEARNING WHO THEY ARE. LET'S GIVE THEM THE SPACE TO DISCOVER, EMBRACE, AND NURTURE THAT PART OF THEM.

Preview - Preface - 12 Laws of Conscious Parenting - Set to release fall ‘26

What if the moments that challenge us most as parents aren’t happening to us, but for us?

The 12 Laws of Conscious Parenting was born from both my personal journey and more than two decades of professional work with children, teens, and families.

Along the way, I discovered that parenting wasn’t just teaching me how to raise my children.

It was teaching me how to understand myself on a deeper level.

This book is the intersection of personal experience, professional insight, and the deeper work of becoming conscious in the way we love, connect, and parent.

Sometimes, our children don’t just need us to see them.
They invite us to finally see ourselves.

PREDISPOSTION IS NOT DESTINY

>> ADHD does not have to be generational
>> Substance abuse does not have to be generational
>> Pathological Narcissism does not have to be generational
>> Unmanageable Anxiety does not have to be generational
>> Abuse does not have to be generational
>> Trauma does not have to be generational
>> Unhealthy relationship patterns do not have to be generational.
>> Suicidality does not have to be generational.

What if we can help children recognize the patterns they are carrying before those patterns become the patterns they pass forward?

** Changing the trajectory begins with the youth of today **

When we help children bring the subconscious into conscious awareness, we create an opportunity to interrupt patterns, build new neural pathways, strengthen emotional regulation, and shift the dynamic - not just for one child, but for generations to come.
________________________________________________________

I'm so excited to have the opportunity to be a part of - THE SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS conference this October.

To explore the intersection of consciousness, child development, neuroscience, epigenetics, and human potential.

My work with children and teens is rooted in helping them bring what is happening beneath the surface into conscious awareness so they can develop new patterns, new responses, and new possibilities.

Because when we help a child understand themselves differently, we don't just influence one child. We have the opportunity to shift the dynamic of an entire generation.

Shaping a generation begins with helping one young person become conscious of what was once unconscious.

What if your child’s purpose isn’t something they have to find - rather it is something we help them discover within themselves?

One of the most powerful lessons in conscious parenting is understanding that our children are not here to fulfill our purpose.

They are here to discover their own.

Purpose isn’t simply a career, a title, a degree or an accomplishment.

It begins much earlier.

It begins when a child learns to ask:

What matters to me?
What am I good at?
What do I care about?
What kind of person do I want to become?
How can I use who I am to contribute to something greater than myself?

As parents, we can either unconsciously define success for our children or create the space for them to discover what gives their life meaning.

That requires us to listen more than we direct.
To notice their strengths instead of constantly correcting their weaknesses.

To value curiosity over comparison

And to model a life guided by meaning, not simply achievement

There is a big difference between living FOR purpose vs living FOR performance.

Purpose is not always found.

Sometimes it is created - through our choices, our relationships, our experiences, what challenges us, what inspires us, and what we choose to contribute.

Conscious parenting isn’t about raising children who simply succeed in the world.

It’s about raising children who know who they are, what matters to them, and why their presence in this world matters.

Perhaps one of the greatest gifts we can give a child is not a map for their future....
.... but the freedom, safety, and guidance to create their own.
