If things feel hard right now, you’re not alone.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing space with you — offering support, community, and a reminder that you’re not failing. We begin with a MOMtra for the days that feel heavy, followed by a poem I wrote called I Raised You Kind — a gentle invitation to choose connection, intention, and courage in a world that feels harsh.

This episode is for the moms who are tired, doing their best, and showing up anyway. Come as you are. You’re belong here.

So many mothers are carrying fear, grief, and anger just under the surface all while showing up steady so our kids can feel safe.

In this episode of Raising Kind Humans, we name the invisible burden of parenting through a heavy political and cultural climate. We talk about kindness as defiance, not denial, and what it means to raise kind, grounded kids without pretending everything is fine.

This is for the mothers holding it together, protecting childhood, and refusing to pass down despair.

You’re not weak.
You’re holding the line.

And you're not alone. Find your people. Find your joy. Join the Rebellion.

In this heartwarming episode, I’m joined by author and sign language interpreter Lynne Kelly to talk about her beautiful middle grade novel, A Song for a Whale. We dive into the inspiration behind the story, the real-life whale that sparked Iris’s journey, and how the book brings visibility to the deaf community in a way that’s both powerful and accessible for kids.

Lynne shares what it was like to write from the perspective of a deaf protagonist, why sign language matters, and how stories can be a bridge between communities and experiences. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or book lover, this conversation will inspire you to listen more deeply and help the kids in your life find their own voices.
