Learn exactly what you can do as a parent to help promote resiliency in your child, and yourself, through all of the changes and transitions that life will bring your way.
A Letter to the Deep Mothers
For the ones who can’t just say, “let’s exchange flowers and say Happy Mother’s Day, and call it a good one."
For those of you who through motherhood, have finally unearthed your longing for something more true and more connected for yourselves and for your families.
For the ones who open these emails expecting a message that resonates with you beyond the level of practical advice, and feels like an embrace from one mother’s soul to another’s.
On empathy and activism as parents
Do you wonder how to help our children to make sense of the suffering of our world, and our particular agency and responsibilities to each other as fellow humans?
After years of supporting parents like you, who want to help their children make sense of the world’s injustices through a lens of love, humanity and justice…I want to share two important things that matter a lot in order for our kids to be able to do this.

When you need to fall apart
It’s not your job to never crumble as a parent. Here’s how to help your family through the really hard times.
Choice & “the holidays”
Old traditions can make us forget that we have the choice to create. What new stories are you writing for your family?
Terrified of the dark, and terrified to ask for help
Your parenting overwhelm may have surprising roots.
Let me tell you about this great Mom
It’s not about being perfectly healed for our children
When should I wean my baby?
If you find yourself worrying about the “right” time and way to wean your child, that makes sense. But do you know how to ensure that all of the feelings that come up for yourself and for your child during this transition, will be held in a way that strengthens their sense of self and trust in the relationship with you? In a way that prepares them to turn towards themselves with care, and opens their heart to receiving support from others when life gets hard in the future?
