It was about sparking conversations on resilience, belonging, and the power of everyday heroes. 🌍

To see it celebrated on an international stage is massive, swirly tutti frutti icing on the cake 🎂.

This is where the right conversation can turn defeat into determination. In this video, I share how to help your child flip the script and see this moment as a turning point, not the end of the road.

BOOK REVIEW 📚 | Because of You, This is Me

When a reader says your book reminded them of their purpose? That’s everything.

Huge thanks to Hannah Tyreman for this beautiful reflection. I’m beyond grateful—and full of admiration for the way you show up for others.
