So I am not really sure what to call myself
Although I have a degree in education and work with parents all the time, I’m not a parent coach or teacher in the traditional sense of those words. I am not a therapist or specialist in mental health or parent-child relationships.
But I am a mom. And in my motherhood journey, I’ve witnessed amazing things in my family and those around me. I know the overwhelm, the excitement, the confusion, and the elation that are ALL part of parenting, sometimes all in one day.
Who am I kidding? Sometimes all within five minutes
And I’ve come to realize that what I’m passionate about more than anything is witnessing all the ways that families experience love. The story behind each interaction between a parent and their child is beautiful and deserves space. I love to hear and share those stories.
It may not always feel beautiful at the moment because parenting brings strong emotions to the surface. I get it. It can feel painful and even ugly at times.
But the truth is that beauty exists in each of these times, even if we can’t see it right away. And beauty is there because love is there.
Here’s what I’ve learned about love in my family’s journey. It’s more than a feeling; it’s an action. And it requires risk and examination. It’s part of our story. It’s part of your story. So let’s celebrate it!

Speaking Opportunity
One of the things that fires me up the most is speaking to groups of parents who want to understand, develop, or even change the course of their parenting story.

Photography
Through the camera’s lens, I understand how beauty and brutality can hold the same space. And with the push of a button, I can capture that moment.
My Writing
Breaking Daylight Blog is a place where I put years of writing together to keep myself curious about my own parenting. Now it stands on the internet as a resource for parents looking to stay in love with their children. I have written a series of topics including:
- Living and loving alongside our children
- The day to day parts of growing a love muscle
- The hard stuff and ways to grow through it
- The benefits of choosing relationship above all else
