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

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.

We’ve normalized a childhood built on likes, tre We’ve normalized a childhood built on likes, trends, and constant comparison. But kids don’t need algorithms to tell them who they are. 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.
We live in a world where childhood is being outsou We live in a world where childhood is being outsourced to algorithms......where trends, influencers, and screens are shaping kids faster than parents are.But here’s the truth: Your child doesn’t need another app to tell them who they are. They need space to think. To play. To belong without chasing likes.That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable: a book for parents who are done watching their kids get pulled into a world of comparison and pressure.✨ And here’s the bonus: If you join the WAITLIST now, you’ll not only be first to know when it launches: you’ll also get my 5-Step Screen Reset Course ($27 value) for free with your purchase.Because raising grounded, self-aware kids in a screen-saturated culture isn’t impossible… but it does take intention.👇 Comment WAITLIST to claim your spot and start building a childhood that can’t be outsourced.
Your 12-year-old is begging for a Labubu.Not bec Your 12-year-old is begging for a Labubu.Not because she really needs one.But because she’s already being told by friends, trends, and algorithms that "belonging" comes with a price tag.And maybe you feel torn. Because on one hand, you want her to fit in. On the other, you don’t want her worth tied to the latest collectible, sneaker, or viral toy.But deep down, you’re wondering: Why does childhood feel like a race to keep up? Why are kids measuring themselves against whatever’s trending? And why does it already feel like the culture is pulling them away faster than we can hold on?This isn’t really about Labubu. 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 disappear into comparison, consumerism, and digital noise.It’s not about saying no to every trend.It’s about raising grounded, self-aware kids who don’t need the latest thing to know who they are.💥 Join the waitlist today. Because raising kids who stand strong in a world that profits from their self-doubt? That’s the most radical thing we can do.Comment WAITLIST and I'll send you the link to join the list for the official launch 🚀#uninfluenceablebook #raisingconfidentkids #screenconsciousparenting #reclaimchildhood #deschooling #intentionalparenting #slowchildhood #rethinkingeducation #parentingwithpurpose
They’ll outgrow the Labubu craze. The Squishmall They’ll outgrow the Labubu craze. The Squishmallows. The skincare trends. The latest “must-have” toy.But here’s the harder question: Will they outgrow the screen addiction that’s fueling it all?Because it’s not really about the collectible. It’s about the endless stream of influence shaping how our kids think, buy, and even see themselves.And that doesn’t go away when the trend does.✨ That’s exactly why I created Uninfluenceable—to help parents raise kids who are grounded, critically thinking, and confident in who they are, even when the world (and the algorithm) gets loud.👇 Comment WAITLIST to join the launch list for the book.
