🌱Raising confident, curious, real-world ready kids ↓

When I was teaching, I could tell right away which When I was teaching, I could tell right away which students spent most of their free time on screens. They weren’t “bad” kids. They were bright. But when we got into deeper discussions... literature, history, the “why” behind the lesson: they struggled to go below the surface.Screens don’t just chip away at focus. They take away depth. The ability to sit with a hard question. The curiosity to make unexpected connections. The patience to see an idea through to the end.That’s what’s at stake. And it’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable... to help parents reclaim depth for their kids before it’s lost.Think you'll appreciate this read?

When kids say “I’m bored,” most parents pani When kids say “I’m bored,” most parents panic. But boredom isn’t the problem: it’s the doorway.Because every time our kids are bored, they have a choice: reach for a screen, or reach for real life.And when they head outside... when they touch grass, feel wind, climb, dig, and wander, their brains do exactly what they’re built for: to create, to connect, to figure it out.The truth? Social media trains kids to crave stimulation. Nature teaches them to find stillness. And if we want to raise kids who can think for themselves, we have to help them love the real world more than the digital one.That’s what my book, Uninfluenceable, is all about: raising kids who stay grounded, curious, and confident no matter how loud the online world gets.Want a copy?

We grew up in a world that doesn’t even exist an We grew up in a world that doesn’t even exist anymore.The slow afternoons, the neighborhood adventures, the phone calls that lasted for hours: all of it shaped how we connected, how we learned, how we became.Now our kids are growing up in a world that moves at lightning speed. Everything is optimized, gamified, and filtered... and we wonder why they’re anxious, distracted, and unsure of who they are.Here’s the truth most people don’t want to admit: You can’t raise grounded kids in a culture built on distraction by parenting on autopilot. You have to get intentional.Because being 40 doesn’t make us outdated ...it makes us aware. We remember what it felt like to just be, and that’s exactly what our kids are missing.👇 Comment GET IT and I’ll send you the link to grab a copy of my book Uninfluenceable: a guide to raising kids who think for themselves in a world that’s trying to think for them.
When I was a teacher and I witnessed this... it wa When I was a teacher and I witnessed this... it was my a-ha moment. 💡Because that’s when I realized: we’re not raising a generation that can’t focus, we’re raising a generation that’s constantly interrupted.And the systems meant to “engage” them are the same ones keeping them addicted.That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable: a book for parents who are ready to raise kids who think for themselves, stay grounded, and aren’t defined by what gets their attention.✨ Get your copy today.

We laugh at the spooky stuff: but the real horror?Kids growing up in a culture that prioritizes convenience over curiosity.When we trade boredom for endless scrolling, and confidence for comparison, we raise kids who look “connected” but feel completely lost.That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable. 📕Because raising grounded kids shouldn’t feel impossible.Comment GET IT to grab a copy today!
What if our kids are more afraid of being left out What if our kids are more afraid of being left out than being themselves?That fear shows up earlier than we think.It’s the 8-year-old changing what they like because someone laughed at their shirt.The 10-year-old quitting art because their friend said it was “cringe.”The middle schooler scrolling TikTok just to learn what they should care about.We tell kids to “be themselves,” but everything around them rewards imitation over individuality.And it’s no wonder so many lose their confidence, curiosity, and voice in the process.That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable: to help parents raise kids who know who they are, even when the world tells them to be someone else.💥 Comment GET IT and I’ll send you the link to grab your copy!
