Hi there,​So my oldest is 12 (nearly 13 in three months.) He’s the only kid in his friend group (almost his grade) without a phone. We’re the designated hang house (master plan going great over here thanks for asking💅) but I’m also the “can’t be on your phones” house. A few weekends ago collecting all the devices before they went […]

Hey there, I’m not one for getting in on the Instagram comment train lest I end up upset, nervous system popping, dropping F bombs all before the hour of 7AM. (have gone through a few Olympian medal stages of that in full disclosure.) But today I was not to be played with. All of a sudden I […]

Hey there! Last year I finally met my co-founder Wiebke (but you can call her Vee) in person for the first time. Some of you might remember that reunion if you follow me on Instagram… where her first words to me were, “OMG your face isn’t symmetrical!!” 🙃🙃🙃 I am still laughing about that. Vee’s attention to […]

Hi there, OK so where did we leave off last time.. That’s right…HACKATHON. For International Women’s Day!And no I will never stop telling people I did this.​Did any of you go in your city?!​Well here we all are.​All 60ish of us in Lisbon and somehow I’m the only person in the photo who can’t contort her […]

Hey there,​It’s been a minute. Partly because I thought our school had camps lined up all last week for all 3 boys… and then Sunday night we realized neither of us knew what we were talking about. Welcome to the Beta Parenting household. Though that’s honestly unfair to my husband – as he’s the one […]

I had a totally different email planned for today -a behind-the-scenes look at what it’s like inside my storytelling programs -but I don’t feel compelled to write that today.​Last night, while trying (and failing) not to rage scroll🥴 I kept getting caught up in the courage of so many people (looking at you Minnesotans.)​​But one reel LITERALLY stopped […]

Yesterday I ditched my computer entirely and spent the day with two of my favorite humans – both mentors, both friends, both currently living in Portugal for the next month. And one whom I met in person for the first time ever. We’ve been. chatting for almost 3 years online. Quick story on Gemma. The […]

It’s been a minute since I just… caught you up on life without trying to sell you an AI Agent–building workshop. (Although, if you did come… have you recovered yet?? Because I’m not totally sure I have🤣.)​​Here’s the guilty-pleasure song I played to welcome 200 of you into that very scary arena: Huey Lewis. (I DARE YOU […]

In case you missed Wednesday’s email… I mentioned that I’m about to love bomb your inbox for the next few weeks as I am running a “How to Build Your Own Storytelling AI Agent” workshop at the end of this month…​​Huh what?​​If you want your mind to be actually blown and see how you can turn […]

Like most weeks it’s been the best of times.It’s been the “not best” of times:) We kicked off the week with my first police stop in Portugal. I was so confused why I was LITERALLY being chased down a traffic-infested highway that I SPED UP. I thought “Oh I’m in his way” not realizing that […]
