Announcing the first-ever Reading To Connect Day™
I didn’t plan to create a holiday.
I just wanted families to feel safe again—to pause, not perform. To read like it mattered beyond the reading. And when I started sharing our story, something happened.
Parents from everywhere started joining in. Not for a program. Not for a prize.
For a moment.
In this episode, I’m announcing something we’ve been building toward all along—Reading To Connect Day. It’s not a trend. It’s not a hashtag. It’s a return. And this time, it’s happening together.
Key Topics:
- Why “just one moment” might be the most powerful thing we offer
- How a late-night scheduling push revealed a deeper purpose
- The shift from performance-based reading to legacy-based connection
- What happens at 6PM in every time zone on the last Sunday in August
- How you can be part of a global pause—without needing to perform
