I’m a writer, podcaster, and mom of five kids ages teen through young adult, and I’ve been writing about motherhood for decades. As my kids are getting older, I’ve been focusing on the transitional years between full-house and empty nest, and am at work on a book called THE LAST PARENTING BOOK YOU’LL EVER READ, coming from Sourcebooks in 2025. 

These days, amid the hustle of a quickly-changing, increasingly-robotic world – and all the changes that are happening inside my own midlife body and soul – more and more I find myself seeking calm and connectedness. In my podcast, The Kettle, and my Substack newsletter by the same name, I discuss how to bring wisdom and wellbeing into our manic modern world.
