If I haven't shared this already...this is a safe space to post at all times of the day, night or week. As a parent (posting this late night on a Saturday), we get it in where we fit in so here goes! 😆 On Friday, September 19th, 11am–1pm EST, I'm joining forces with Jelisa Glanton, LCSW-C of Therapeutically Inclined for a virtual workshop built for anyone who shows up for a young person: parents, aunts, godparents, teachers, coaches — the whole village. Know the Signs, Be the Circle is about exactly that: learning to recognize when a young person is struggling, and understanding your role in the circle of protection around them. Because prevention is a job for all of us. What to expect: - Practical tools and scenarios for recognizing early warning signs in youth - Real conversation on how to show up, notice, and act - Space to ask questions and connect with others doing this work 📅 Friday, September 19 🕚 11am–1pm EST 💻 Virtual — pay-what-you-can Please join me, I'd love to have you there! Bring your questions, bring your village, and let's rebuild the circle around our teens together. Register here

I’m writing this late in the midnight hour because God is turning some things around! I have something exciting to share. I started The Parent Circle to provide a real landing for the busy mom (or dad) constantly in flight. And over these past months, something's become clear to me: it can’t just be us doing this work from the start. It's also the aunts who show up. The godparents who check in. The grandparents that help out. The teachers, church leaders, coaches, and mentors who notice when something's off. The neighbors who've become family. So I'm excited to share that The Parent Circle is becoming The MyMenta Circle. This will be the same community, same mission, same people, just expanded to reflect who's actually doing this work alongside you: the whole village. As the parent, you still set the tone. Now you can also add those who have an investment in your child too. Nothing about your membership changes. Same group, same posts, same conversations and same me but just a name that finally matches the fullness of who belongs here. So I need your help! Think about the people in your teen's life who care, who show up consistently, who'd benefit from being part of this circle to. Invite them in. The more of the village we gather, the stronger the circle around every child becomes. I’m grateful for you for being part of this from the beginning, and for growing this circle wider with me.

I can't wait to connect with old faces and meet some new ones today. Are you joining Circle Up tonight?

It's happening! Our first-ever Parent Circle Monthly Call is Wednesday, August 26th live right here inside The Parent Circle. 📍 Event: Circle Up — The Parent Circle Monthly Call 📅 Date: Wednesday, August 26 (adjusted from last date to keep with our schedule!) 🕐 Time: 7pm 💻 Where: Live here inside Skool.

Drop a comment below, whether it's a win, a worry, or just where you're at right now. No need to have it all together. We'll discuss some of this into our conversation on the 26th. What we'll cover on the call: - Check-in: How everyone's really doing with back-to-school prep - Reflection: What's coming up for you and your kids as routines shift - Support: Practical tools for staying connected during the transition - Close: Encouragement and connection to carry into the season - This call is for Parent Circle members only. Thank you for being here. If you know a parent of a teen that should join, invite them in! Before we gather... how are you, really? Back-to-school season has a way of sneaking up on all of us with new routines, new schedules, new emotions (theirs and ours). Take the poll:

1. Your name, email and where you're parenting from 2. Your kiddo(s) — ages, stages, whatever feels relevant 3. One word for how parenting has felt lately 4. One thing you're hoping to find here: whether it's support, tools, or just knowing you're not alone No wrong answers. We just want to know you're here.
