🚫 Reducing screen time + rethinking school
🌱Raising confident, curious, real-world ready kids ↓

Before algorithms raised our kids… friendships w Before algorithms raised our kids… friendships were built in the backyard, not online.Most kids today can tap, scroll, and swipe: but few know how to resolve a conflict, make a friend, or navigate social life without a screen. Real connection isn’t downloaded; it’s practiced, day by day, in the messy, unpredictable spaces of childhood.✨ Want more guidance on raising independent, confident kids in a world ruled by screens? Comment WAITLIST to join the waitlist for my book Uninfluenceable: and get my 5-Step Screen Reset Course (a $27 value) free when it launches!
If independence looks like swiping, we’ve missed If independence looks like swiping, we’ve missed the point.Kids don’t become capable by knowing every app, shortcut, or hack.They become capable by learning to take care of themselves in the real world: whether that’s making a meal, solving a problem, or managing their own time.Screens can entertain them, sure. But independence isn’t about convenience. It’s about confidence.✨ That’s the heartbeat of Uninfluenceable: raising kids who are grounded, resilient, and ready for life (not just another algorithm).💥 Comment WAITLIST and I’ll send you the link to join.
You’re 35 and just now remembering to wear sunsc You’re 35 and just now remembering to wear sunscreen. Meanwhile, 9-year-olds are asking for serums.This isn’t about skincare routines. It’s about childhood being compressed......kids growing up too fast, too curated, too consumed by what the algorithm tells them they should care about.At 9, you worried about who got the last popsicle. Today’s 9-year-olds worry about fine lines.And while the culture shrugs and calls it “normal”… I call it what it is: a warning sign.✨ That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable. It’s a book for parents who are done outsourcing childhood to trends, marketing, and screens.💥 Comment WAITLIST to be the first to know when it launches: and get my 5-Step Screen Reset Course ($27 value) free when you preorder from the waitlist.Because the best routine we can give our kids isn’t about glass skin: it’s about raising them with a backbone.
It’s not that kids can’t pay attention: It’s It’s not that kids can’t pay attention: It’s that the world won’t stop interrupting them.Dings. Notifications. Constant noise. We call it “short attention spans,” but what we’re really seeing is kids trying to grow up in an environment that was never designed with their brains in mind.And the truth is, attention can be rebuilt. Focus can be nurtured. Childhood doesn’t have to be outsourced to algorithms.That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable: to give parents the tools to raise grounded, critically-thinking kids in a culture that profits from distraction.✨ Join the waitlist today and when the book launches, you’ll also get my 5-Step Screen Reset Course (a $27 value) completely free.💥 Comment WAITLIST and I’ll send you the link.
Today is National Daughters Day.And while social Today is National Daughters Day.And while social media will be filled with photos and hashtags… I can’t help but think about what our daughters actually need from us.They don’t need glass skin at 12. They don’t need another collectible cup. They don’t need algorithms telling them how to look, act, or belong.They need us. They need space to be kids. They need roots deep enough that no trend can pull them away from who they are.That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable: a book for parents who are done letting culture raise their kids for them.✨ Join the waitlist today and when the book launches, you’ll also get my 5-Step Screen Reset Course (a $27 value) completely free.💥 Comment WAITLIST and I’ll send you the link.
We’ve been told anxiety is just part of childhoo We’ve been told anxiety is just part of childhood now. That every tween with stomach aches, sleep struggles, or social fears is just “going through it.”But here’s the truth: We don’t have an epidemic of anxious kids. We have an epidemic of kids being raised by algorithms.Algorithms that teach them to compare. To crave likes. To chase an image of themselves that isn’t real.And it’s no wonder their nervous systems can’t keep up.This isn’t about blaming kids: or even blaming parents. It’s about recognizing that when screens shape childhood, anxiety is the natural outcome.✨ That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable. It’s a guide for raising grounded, self-aware, critically thinking kids in a world designed to keep them scrolling.Comment WAITLIST to be the first to know when it launches! PLUS, when you join the waitlist, I’ll gift you my 5-Step Screen Reset Course (a $27 value) for free.Because raising kids who know who they are? That’s the antidote.
