Life

It comes for us with every change in season and any movement on the growth chart. In other words: constantly.

I used to loathe grocery shopping. Now, walking down the aisles, I feel a profound sense of purpose.

At first, I didn't know how to be a sexual person and a parent. Which was fair, because nothing in life prepared me for that.

Growing up, I used to beg my parents to have another baby.

When parenting with a trauma history, you need a lot more than a hashtag and an online course.

How to make sense of it all? A world where climate change isn’t going to happen; it’s happening, not to someone else, but to me and my young children, now.

“If we close the door and a pregnant person has nowhere to go, what's going to happen?”

I thought I knew how to play with a baby, but maybe I didn’t. Maybe I needed this play mat? I certainly wanted it very badly.

“I want more children, but I’m terrified of experiencing another miscarriage and being left to go septic or something if they completely ban abortion.”

My baby became a local celebrity for his dubious scowl — turns out, he got it from me.

Kids rarely come home from school on February 14th with a feeling of having loved and been loved. Instead, they come home with a bunch of trash.

The group model of prenatal care cuts costs, promotes lasting friendships, and leads to better outcomes. Thirty years later, why isn’t it standard?

Through my work with young people, I've developed concrete ways to connect with kids who are hurting. Here are just a few of them.

Every day after school my mood descends with the sun. Low stakes baking is my antidote to despair.

When only about 10% of low-vision kids are taught braille, something gets lost.

The internet I grew up with was wildly different from the one my daughter will experience.
