Goodbye Disney...
It is time to move away from the things that no longer serve us and our children and move forward into the light.
Co-Parenting During the Coronavirus
During this unprecedented time of the Coronavirus and quarantines, many co-parents are finding themselves in un-charted territory with regards to their parenting plan and whether and how they should carry it out.
"Broken Family," Broken Holidays?
Does a “broken family” mean broken and unhappy holidays? The holidays can be a very difficult time for those who have separated or divorced, whether there are children involved or not.
Healing: An All-Out Healing Mission to Save My Wounded Little Girl
Recently, at the Together Rising event in Seattle, Milck performed a few of her songs. The experience was beautiful, moving, empowering, emotional and soul stirring. As tears streamed down my face, she sang of everything that I had been feeling. Over the past several years I have done a tremendous amount of inner child healing work, but over the past few weeks I was able to see the depth of pain and healing that still needed to be done.
Love in the Face of Hate
On this day, we celebrate one of the most courageous souls, Dr. King, who was a champion for peace, love and oneness. I write this in honor of him, for he knew long ago what some of us are only beginning to fully realize and put into practice, and what many still can’t comprehend; love is the only answer to hate.
Divorce Needs A Makeover!
It’s time for a new paradigm in separation and divorce. A new story – an alternate ending. It’s time to take it higher, to evolve. It is time for empowerment!

Love is the Answer
Love. Love is the answer. To everything. Every problem, every issue, everything that is not working in your life. Every. Thing. The answer is love.
Holiday Magic
This is the first year we’ve had kids in the house who are old enough to really appreciate the magic of the holidays, and it’s been so much fun bringing back some of my favorite holiday traditions, and adding some new ones too! Here is a list of my favorites!
Don't Let Your Kids Drink From an Empty Cup
I used to think it was selfish to put myself first. Despite the well-known reminder every time I fly to secure my oxygen mask before helping others, I still felt like it was selfish to think of myself first.
Spirit is My Nanny!
A few weeks ago, the thought of being at home with 5 young boys and a baby sounded like anything but fun. After searching for summer camps and part time nannies to lighten my load, I found that it wasn’t lining up.
When Spanking Is The Only Thing That Works...Please Try Again
I know – I don’t know your child, you’re at your wits end, he won’t listen, nothing else will work and you’ve tried everything. But please, try again.
Energy is Everything – You Can't Fake Calm
As some of you know, we’re beginning week 4 of our foster journey with a toddler and soon-to-be middle schooler. I’ve always known that there are some important aspects of being a good parent; love, patience, consistency, positive discipline/boundaries, etc. What I didn’t realize until last week is that none of these matter as much as this one thing…
