Ways to work together.

One-on-one coaching

When it's about your kid, specifically.

Sometimes a family doesn't need a talk or an audience — they want to think through what's happening with their own kid. I take on a small amount of one-on-one coaching for parents who want direct, personal help with a specific season.

A few sessions to step back, name what's really going on, and leave with a plan that fits your house.

Podcasts & shows

A guest who comes ready to talk.

Fourteen years in a middle-school classroom left me with a story for everything and a plain way of telling it. I'm an easy guest — prepared, on time, and never short on things to say.

If you host a podcast or an educational show and the middle-school years are anywhere in your wheelhouse, I'd be glad to come on.

A few topics
• Why middle school strains the parent–child relationship
• The 12-year-old brain, in plain English
• Growth mindset isn’t just for kids
• Sibling cruelty in the tween years

Speaking

For a room full of parents or teachers.

I speak at parent nights, school PD days, conferences, and virtual events — anywhere people are trying to make sense of raising and teaching kids through the middle years.

I keep it concrete, and I try to leave the room with something they can actually use on Monday morning.

A few talks
• The Middle School Brain
• From Manager to Coach
• Raising Kids Who Can Handle Hard Things

Brand partnerships

Things I'd hand to my own kids.

Now and then I partner with a brand whose work I'd genuinely put in front of my own family. If you make something for kids, classrooms, or the parents in the thick of it, tell me about it.

Where I tend to fit: education, books, school supplies, family travel, thoughtful kid tech, and the durable, everyday things real families lean on.
