Autumn discusses the impact of certain books on her parenting, her transition from a classroom educator to homeschooling, and the delicate balance of respect and love in mother-son relationships. She also touches upon gender roles, resilience, and the importance of allowing children to solve problems independently. Additionally, Autumn provides practical tips for mothers on balancing nurturing a family and pursuing personal passions, emphasizing routines, delegation, and self-compassion.

She also explains the inspiration behind her Full Life Gratitude Journal for Moms and activity books aimed at intentional parenting and the early introduction of gratitude in children's lives.
