Meal Planning Got You Down? |
|
|
Dear Working Parents,
Ah, meal planning. Say the word, and a parent who was previously in a good mood will likely give you a death stare. Gosh darn it, why do we have to keep feeding these kids (and ourselves) every day! |

#AmplifyVoices
This month, we celebrate Disability Pride Month, to commemorate the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). And today, now that I have a high schooler who has been required to read Shakespeare, I'd like to call out PBS's work, "Creating an Inclusive Richard III." (Go watch the clips on this webpage - they are fablous!)

Savoring the Second
Half of Summer!
We Start on Monday! |
|
|
|
You know how by the end of July, summer feels like it is sprinting to a close? This year, I'm doing an experiment to see if I can savor it more and make that part of summer feel slower and more delicious. Want to join me?
For the 4 weeks from July 20-August 14, I'm leading an accountability group on WhatsApp. Each weekday morning, I'll be posting a thought-provoking prompt in the chat related to one of the following 5 S's:
- Mondays: Steady
- Tuesdays: Self
- Wednesdays: Silence
- Thursdays: Surprise
- Fridays: Silliness
Cost is $99. Given it will be on WhatsApp, you can join in from anywhere. If you want to join me for this intentionality quest, simply hit reply and say "count me in!" and I'll get you signed up.

September 17, 12–1pm Eastern: The Setback Cycle - Join me in conversation with Amy Shoenthal. In this thoughtful and practical conversation, we’ll explore how setbacks — from career disruptions and burnout to caregiving challenges, identity shifts, and unexpected life changes — can become catalysts for growth, reinvention, and transformation. We’ll talk about the four phases of The Setback Cycle, why defining moments often shape us in powerful ways, how working parents can navigate uncertainty and transition with greater self-compassion and resilience, and practical strategies for moving forward when life doesn’t go according to plan. The Setback Cycle offers a compassionate framework for understanding how difficult moments can ultimately move us toward greater clarity, confidence, and possibility. Register here. |
