Change is the catalyzer to the growth, healing, and transformation within us, preparing us for the people, places and things on our path.

Even in severing ties from those we deemed were toxic family members around us, it is crucially imperative to also sever the ties within us,

Rather than on who we stood to lose - ourselves - we discount that decided rejection, that choice we made all on our own. Speak up.

Without a self-informed self-portrayal, carefully curated with deep introspection to reinforce self regard, the external is left unchecked.

Pursuing ones calling requires no standing ovation, or external recognition, to feel rewarded by the experiences that the journey provides.

Remembering you have all you need to celebrate this year. Give yourself the freedom to choose what traditions to spend the holiday without.

Language enables us to see ourselves as more than the communities or the family from which came, we can use the spoken word to explore self.

Children who are not safe to use their voice within their family systems, often devalue their voices as they get older.

There is an unspoken tragedy in not developing an awareness of our own ability to support, protect and empower ourselves.

Celebrate each child's individuality, rise to their defence, and give them the tools they need to support, protect and empower themselves.

No matter our circumstances, or how far we fell from the fictitious ideal, realize how our lived experience of family moulded and shaped us.

While the nuclear family is still a sociocultural ideal that we cherish, it was largely destroyed in the late 1800s.

As a parent you can attest to the rigidity of school programming. The curriculum isn’t built to fit the specific dispositions of your child.

There is no reliable map to tell you all you need to do to raise your specific child to be well-adjusted and equipped for life.

There are many ways to learn, and just as many ways to teach. Yet, rather than criticizing the educational system we marginalize children.

COVID-19 introduces a layer of chaos, many might recognize shifts in their child’s behaviour because of the increased sense of security.

The thing about “child readiness” is that it crumbles against the backdrop of life. Life doesn’t wait.
