Your son is 11. And he wants to be a gaming YouTub Your son is 11. And he wants to be a gaming YouTuber when he grows up.That dream isn’t the problem. The problem is when it feels like the only option. When he stops exploring. Stops being curious. Stops believing he could be more.Because this isn’t just about gaming. It’s about influence. It’s about algorithms shaping who our kids think they can be.And if you’ve ever felt that gut check: the one that whispers, this isn’t right... you’re not alone.✨ Uninfluenceable is the book I wrote for parents who are ready to raise kids with a strong inner compass, even in a world that wants to define them by likes and views.💥 Join the waitlist today and you’ll get first access when it launches.

Your 13-year-old is asking how to get “glass ski Your 13-year-old is asking how to get “glass skin.” Not because she needs it. But because she’s already absorbing the message: louder every day, that her value is in her appearance.You pause. Because on one hand, you want her to feel confident and included. On the other, you know confidence doesn’t come from a 10-step routine.And deep down you’re wondering: Why are teenagers worried about “perfect” skin instead of enjoying imperfect, messy, real life? Why does childhood look more like a performance than a discovery? Why does it already feel like the pressure is too much, too soon?This isn’t just about skincare. It’s about influence. It’s about how early it starts. And it’s about what we’re going to do about it.✨ Uninfluenceable is the book I wrote for parents who are done watching their kids be shaped by screens, trends, and systems that don’t value who they truly are.💥 Get on the WAITLIST now and you’ll be the first to know when it launches: plus, you’ll get my 5-Step Screen Reset Course (a $27 value) FREE with your preorder.Because raising kids who know themselves is the most rebellious thing we can do.
I didn’t used to think the damage would happen t I didn’t used to think the damage would happen this early.I thought we had time: at least until the teen years.But then I watched 8-year-olds melt down over lost Wi-Fi. I watched 10-year-olds lose interest in books, hobbies, even friends. I saw kids who couldn’t go five minutes without a screen… and parents who didn’t know what else to do.And I realized: This isn’t just about tech. It’s about identity, resilience, self-worth, and the kind of future we’re creating for our children.After years of working with teens, teaching thousands of students, and now raising four kids of my own, I wrote the book I wish every parent had sooner.📖 Uninfluenceable is for every parent who knows in their gut that childhood is being hijacked:and is ready to take it back.💥 Want to raise confident kids who aren’t controlled by algorithms or obsessed with fitting in?✨ Join the waitlist for the release of my debut book, Uninfluenceable, and let’s reclaim childhood together.📚 Comment “WAITLIST” and I’ll DM you the link to join
We’re trading in trends for truth. Because I don We’re trading in trends for truth. Because I don’t want my kids’ childhood defined by algorithms, hype cycles, or likes.I want them to know who they are before the world tells them who to be.✨ That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable.It’s not just a book.

They need space to grow into themselves: without pressure to perform, to keep up, or to stay plugged in 24/7.✨ Uninfluenceable is the book I wrote for parents who are done outsourcing childhood to screens, systems, and social media.And if you join the WAITLIST now, you’ll get my 5-Step Screen Reset Course ($27 value) FREE when the book launches.Because raising kids who know themselves is the most rebellious thing we can do.👇 Comment WAITLIST to save your spot.
