A culmination of the past, a look to the future... join me
"I never saw myself as a mother. I don't really 'do' nurturing - at least not of things that have a lot of needs and can't be reasoned with. And yet here we are - by choice, and not by accident - and I find myself trying to figure out how to parent a toddler."
This is how I began to introduce myself on my 'About' page over seven years ago. I had no idea where this journey would lead, how many lives I would touch, nor that I would find such strong purpose in this community. Our parenting journeys are our own, but we are not alone.
After 175+ episodes, closing on three million worldwide downloads, and having supported thousands of parents through workshops and memberships, I'm excited to be working with Sasquatch Books and Penguin Random House to launch my first book - one that will describe practical tools parents can use to raise children who will change the world tomorrow - while also making family life easier today.
Seven years ago I wasn't sure anyone would listen. Now I know that parenting can be easier for you, and together we can change the world.

Parenting is hard... perhaps harder than it's ever been. We're struggling to get everything done, to make sure our child is doing OK, and not least of all, to get them to listen when we ask them to do something.
There are also a variety of social challenges out in the world which seemingly have no connection to parenting - things like White supremacy (and racism), patriarchy, and capitalism.

I see these ideas as intimately connected.
It may seem like there's no other way to get our children to listen than to use our power over them (and often, it seems like they hold all the power!).
But when we use power in this way, our children learn that it's OK to use power over others... and then they go out into the world and do just that.

The good news is that the same tools we can use to make parenting easier today will also show our children how to be in the world in a way that respects all people. These tools help us to understand our children's needs (and meet them) while we also meet our own needs.
Honestly, the hardest part of the whole thing is coming up with a name for the book that encompasses these ideas...

It takes a village -
I would really love your help!
I would really love your help!
The book launch is getting closer and I would so appreciate your help. I'm planning a book tour of the U.S. West Coast for late 2023 (and further afield in 2024). I would love to meet you in-person!
- You might want to ATTEND a FREE book reading/signing - knowing where you are will help us decide where we go / visit
- You could ATTEND a PAID full-day workshop to help you bring the ideas in the book into your real life
- If you would like to invite me to speak to your (pre)school, (highly inclusive) church, company, etc., or host a full day coaching session between Vancouver and the Bay Area in late 2023, and further afield after that, I would love to hear from you.
Please share any other ideas or connections to people whom you think might be interested in discussing the ideas in the book in public - I would love for you to join me in the mission to make parenting easier while changing the world!

While the Lisjan Ohlone people can never be fully compensated for the harms that the legacy of colonialism has wrought, we pay the Shuumi Land Tax as recognition that more than words are needed, and we encourage others to engage meaningfully (including financially) with their local Indigenous communities.
