Real-life conversations that matter
What you'll find on the podcast:
I’ve spent my entire career working with kids and families as an educator, supporting students from preschool through high school. I’ve walked alongside kids during some of their biggest moments—helping them navigate emotions, tough choices, and real-life challenges. And through it all, one thing has always stood out: the power of honest, intentional conversations at home.
On What I Want My Kids to Know, I bring together everything I’ve learned from my professional life and my journey as a parent. This podcast is all about giving you practical tools to raise confident, capable kids—through connection, reflection, and conversations that actually matter. Whether you're talking about friendships, failure, or future goals, my hope is that you’ll leave each episode feeling inspired and equipped to prepare your kids not just for school, but for life.
