🎃📚🎓 Making Memories, Using Our Voices & Embracing What’s Next!

My oldest begged to visit the pumpkin patch, and with this being her senior year, of course! 🧡 Every Saturday reminds me why I created the 260 Movement™. We only get 260 Saturdays between ages 13 and 18, and that countdown is getting REAL! I’m determined to make every memory count.

Speaking of what’s next, she took advantage of Free College Application Week and narrowed down her top choices! 🎓 Now we wait with confidence and excitement for what’s ahead!

I also celebrated fellow author and speaker Johnson at her I’m Available book launch at Mansion on Main! 📚🎤 Supporting authors matters because our stories, voices, and messages have POWER!

I purchased the book and bracelet bundle, and I can’t wait to wear my bracelet at my next keynote or workshop as a reminder: “God, I’m available!” 🙌🏽

And speaking of availability, if you’re looking for an amazing emcee or speaker, Kristin is one of the BEST! And I’m available, too! 😉

As The Teen Choice Coach™, I’m booking keynotes, parent and youth workshops, author talks, and group visits. Bulk copies of my bestselling book, Parenting Redefined, are also available!

📩 Let’s bring meaningful conversations to your school, organization, or next event!

Here’s to making memories, using our voices, and embracing every opportunity! 🧡

Sometimes We Rest. Sometimes We Learn. Sometimes We Pivot. But We Should Always Grow! 💛

It’s been a week since I’ve posted, but life has been full of opportunities to rest, reflect, learn, and grow!

Last week was Banned Books Week, something I intentionally celebrate with my children. I purchase banned and challenged books for them because I believe in awareness, access to information, and the power of developing independent thinkers. 📚

I don’t believe in gatekeeping knowledge. I believe in equipping young people with the tools to ask questions, evaluate information, think critically, and make informed decisions.

Sunday, I traded my educator and coaching hats for my detective hat! 🕵🏾‍♀️ I enjoyed a murder mystery scavenger hunt through downtown Durham, putting those investigative skills to work!

Fun fact: My academic background includes criminology! Life doesn’t always follow the path we originally imagined. Sometimes we pivot, discover new passions, and redefine what success and purpose look like.

Monday was Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and I spent time reflecting on the difference between recognizing Indigenous peoples and celebrating Columbus Day. This is an area where my own awareness has grown relatively recently, and I’m intentional about helping my children and students explore different historical perspectives.

But here’s what’s important: Learning something new doesn’t mean everyone will process it the same way or at the same pace.

We have to create space for young people to question, reflect, process, and develop their own understanding rather than simply telling them what to think.

And that connects directly to the work I do through Redefined International.

Whether we’re talking about identity, decision-making, self-awareness, relationships, critical thinking, or navigating life’s transitions, my goal is to help teens and parents gain clarity and make intentional choices.

Now booking Spring 2027! 🎤

Apparently National Boyfriend Day was yesterday but I’m running late... 😂💛

I never imagined having a boyfriend at almost 40, but some of the best things in life are unexpected and completely unplanned.

As a mom of two teenage daughters and a young son, I’m also very aware that they’re watching how I love, what I accept, what I value, and what healthy partnership looks like.

I’m grateful for a man who is smart, funny, hardworking, communicative, authentic, caring, and incredibly patient with me as I continue healing and becoming.

One thing I teach teens and parents is the importance of getting clear about what YOU value; not what everyone else says you should want. I had to learn that lesson for myself, too.

And apparently we’ve reached the stage where a Ross run counts as a date. 😂 We’ve had plenty of adventures since February, but I’ve learned there’s something pretty special about enjoying the ordinary stuff together, too.

Happy (belated) National Boyfriend Day to my unexpected blessing Shannon Latham❤️

Last night reminded me exactly why I do this work. 💛

My Parenting Redefined Back-to-School Workshop was an incredible evening of learning, reflection, and practical strategies parents can actually use.

And here’s the thing: “back-to-school” strategies aren’t just for August and September.

Parents need support all year long as they navigate communication, expectations, academics, relationships, and helping their children grow into confident, successful young people.

As schools begin thinking about spring programming, I’d love to connect with principals, Heads of School, PTA/PTO leaders, and other school leaders who want to offer families something meaningful, practical, and impactful.

📚 As the author of the #1 bestseller Parenting Redefined, I bring a unique perspective to family engagement. I spent 10 years as an educator in public and charter schools and now serve on the faculty of an independent school. I understand the importance of a strong partnership between schools and families—and what can happen when both are equipped to support students well.

Through author talks, parent workshops, family nights, and parent education programs, I equip parents with practical strategies to become more:

💛 Involved in their child’s growth
💛 Informed about what their child needs
💛 Engaged as a true partner in their education

Because when schools intentionally equip parents, students are better positioned to excel academically and socially.

If you’re planning your Spring 2027 parent and family programming, I’d love to explore what a Parenting Redefined experience could look like at your school.
