I'm not a parenting expert. In fact, I'm not sure that I even believe in the idea of 'parenting experts.' I'm an engaged, imperfect parent and a passionate researcher. I'm an experienced mapmaker and a stumbling traveler. Like many of you, parenting is by far my boldest and most daring adventure.

We're raising children who have little tolerance for disappointment

The most powerful teaching moments are the ones where you screw up.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

Hope is really a thought.

Believing that you're enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic.

Nothing has transformed my life more than realizing that it's a waste of time to evaluate my worthiness by weighing the reaction of the people in the stands.
