Are you soon-to-be parents, or are you already parents? Are you unsure of what to expect from your parenting journey or facing parenting challenges? Do you operate under significant stress as a parent? Parenting may not be what you think it is.

Here's a unique read to help keep you grounded in your parenting experience. This book will take you on a journey from birth to high school as I parent my kids and share what that experience was like. It will cover the school system, peer parents, family, and organizations' impact on your parenting and children. Throughout the book, you will explore various topics regarding parenting by doing exercises that deal with your fears, prejudices, masks presented to the world, acceptance, and comparisons.

I've been through the ups and downs of parenting, and I want to reassure you that you will show up for your children and yourself with compassion. You will be the parent you were meant to be, and fully love and accept yourself for doing so.

As an enterprise consultant, I support non-profit programs empowering youth and young adults. I also have experience as a food educator/horticulturalist and entrepreneurship program designer, involved in the real estate industry in co-housing and strata. Additionally, I've served as a millennium event project coordinator for Folk Rhythms, hosting a cultural expo featuring 13 countries. Most importantly, I've been a full-time stay-at-home parent.I've been reflecting on parenting a lot lately. It's a lifelong, creative project that requires constant adaptation and learning. My goal is to empower adults to raise resilient children who can thrive. Parenting involves grappling with loss, fostering acceptance, and embracing growth, and it's a balance of uplifting and crisis moments. I'd like to offer a different perspective on parenting in that it's not what we think it is.
