Dear Reader, May is a month that naturally turns our hearts toward mothering—whether we are raising children, supporting others, or tending to our own inner world. Mothering (and parenting) can be deeply meaningful and incredibly demanding. It asks us to hold space, navigate emotions, set boundaries, and stay connected—all at once. Is that even possible? This year, I’m honoring Mothering May with three opportunities to gather, learn, and be supported in community. Raising Resilient Kids | May 5, 10am PDTA practical, empowering class for parents and caregivers Raising resilient youth isn’t about toughening them up—it’s about helping them feel safe, capable, and connected in a complex world.
