This is a space for deeper reflections on parenting and raising kids with heart — with conversations about book bans, activism, inclusion, neurodivergence, and the ongoing work of staying informed and engaged.

Through free posts, I share reflections, book recommendations, and real conversations about building a more inclusive, thoughtful future for our kids.
