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!

That’s the antidote.

Your daughter is 10. And she wants her own Stanley

Your daughter is 10. And she wants her own Stanley Cup collection.Not because she’s thirsty.
But because she’s watching her classmates line them up like trophies.
The trend. The colors. The status.And you pause: because it’s not really about water bottles.
It’s about how quickly childhood gets wrapped up in comparison.
How fast kids learn that belonging comes with a price tag.This isn’t about one cup.
It’s about how influence seeps in:through brands, trends, and algorithms......before our kids even know who they are.✨ That’s why I wrote Uninfluenceable.
It’s not a book about banning cups, or skincare, or TikTok dances.
It’s a guide for raising kids who know their value isn’t something they have to buy.💥 Join the waitlist today and you’ll also get my 5-Step Screen Reset Course (a $27 value) FREE when the book launches.👇 Comment WAITLIST and I’ll send you the link.

“They may have called her a homeschooled jungle

“They may have called her a homeschooled jungle freak… but she still ended up ruling the Spring Fling.” 👑✨Pop culture got one thing wrong: homeschooling doesn’t hold kids back......in fact, it often propels them forward.
Because when you give kids the chance to learn in their own way, without the noise, the cliques, or the pressure… they thrive.And honestly? The limit does not exist when it comes to what they can do outside the traditional system. 💡📘 Ready to see what that could look like for your family?

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. PLUS my 5-Step Screen Reset Course ($27 value) completely free.👇 Comment WAITLIST and I’ll send you the link.

I can’t believe I wrote a book....but it's not

I can’t believe I wrote a book....but it's not just any book.It's the book I *wish* existed when I was first questioning if the world my kids were growing up in was really the one I wanted for them.✨ Uninfluenceable is a call to stop outsourcing childhood to algorithms, systems, and social pressure: and instead raise kids who know who they are,
even when the world tells them otherwise.It’s releasing in just a few weeks,

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.
