#28 The Questions That Keep Parents Up At Night
Hi, Fam!
She's standing at the kitchen counter, eyes welling up: "I'm the only kid in my whole grade without a phone." And just like that, you're the villain in your kid's story.

#25 You Are More Than Your Hormones!
Hi, Fam!
What if one of the most “empowering” trends for women… is actually making us feel more powerless? A recent conversation with one of my students completely stopped me in my tracks. She said: “I feel like a walking bag of hormones.” And it opened up a much bigger conversation about modern hormone culture, cycle syncing, female identity, emotional resilience, and what young women are being taught about themselves. Now to be clear: Hormones are real. PMS is real. Postpartum is real. Perimenopause is real. But somewhere along the way, many women started absorbing the message...
