It’s been a few weeks since my last post (hello life). I’d like to take a moment to share some lessons I’ve been learning lately. It ties back to a somewhat recent post on work, where I wrote about being a learner vs. teachable. “Being teachable requires the flexibility and humility to learn from unexpected … Continue reading Lessons on Healing

Priorities
Advocating for your kids can feel like a full-time job. Which can be extra difficult when you have a full-time job. And when you have multiple kids with various needs. I feel like each of my kids have something different they’re carrying or dealing with, and it’s an honor to come alongside them to support … Continue reading Priorities

Instead, I was met with mercy. It was a bit unexpected; I didn’t have to fix it, we all … Continue reading Mercy Over Judgment

I’ve read it countless times, but tried to read it with fresh eyes this time. And that’s … Continue reading Speak and See
