Vashti shared:

It’s a hard time to grow up. The challenges our kids face are very different from those we faced just thirty or forty years ago – or even five years ago. Parents are navigating a “wild west,” facing challenges past generations have not faced. I am on a journey to combine my background as an educator, my lived experience, and continual learning to help support parents—especially those struggling in their relationship with teens and young adults. 

The question I am continually asking is “What can we as parents do to cultivate resilience in the world we find ourselves in?”
