I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.

I'm definitely on the spectrum of socially awkward.

I don't wear pants, or like them; I'm a Jewish woman who's made the decision to wear skirts, so I wear mostly skirts past the knee.

I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.

I like army boots, I like peasant skirts - sometimes together! So I do know that I have odd taste.

I don't care much about conforming.

Auditions are hard. You should see what most of the women look like when I audition for things - they look like they should be on the catwalk.
