    The Airway Conversation Every Parent Needs To Hear

    In this episode, I’m sharing a parenting wake up call I didn’t see coming. I started noticing mouth breathing, teeth grinding, big emotional dysregulation, and signs that one of my kids wasn’t getting truly restorative sleep. So I invited my friend Brianna from Toothpillow on the podcast, and this conversation connected so many dots for me!! We talk about the surprising symptoms that can trace back to airway and palate development, what sleep apnea can look like in kids, and why this is about so much more than straight teeth. If you’ve ever thought, “Is this just normal kid stuff… or is something actually off?” I really want you to listen.

    How Does Acton Academy Do Middle School Differently?

    Middle school doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, invisible, or soul-crushing. In this episode, I’m sitting down with two of our oldest learners from Acton Academy West End to talk honestly about what school feels like when kids are trusted, challenged, and given real responsibility. My husband and I started Acton Academy West End four years ago with my sister and brother-in-law because we believed learning could be different. More human. More empowering. More alive!! As we prepare to launch our Acton Middle School, I wanted parents to hear directly from the learners themselves, not from a brochure or a sales page. Wondering if Acton is right for you?

    The Surprising Things I'm Learning To Live Without (Crunchy Mom Edition)

    This episode is a little crunchy… but stay with me! I’m sharing the health and wellness shifts I’m making in 2026, not from a place of perfection, but from a place of awareness, grace, and learning as I go. From saying no to our microwave and heavy fragrances, to rethinking everyday things like butter, salt, pillowcases, and even how I walk, this is about choosing what feels right for this season. Not all at once, and not perfectly. And definitely not without Chick-fil-A still making an appearance!! If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by “doing health right,” I hope this episode helps you find your own middle ground. ________________ 📷 FREE!
