When stuck in a problem sequence, it's hard to see any other way but "as it's always been." It's important to not only check in with the person we are "doing the dance with" but with ourselves to establish regulation, autonomy, and balance.

Q: I feel like I fight the same battles with my spouse and kids over and over again. What can I do to stop the cycle and help improve our communication? A: Think of a dynamic in your home that

"This is giving parents hope as well who may not be as familiar or understanding or really trying to grapple with or wrap their heads around what the future could look like for their children. Being able to read these very intimate stories about people they may see in magazines or on the red carpet — or they may not have heard of but who are leading companies — they realize: that could be their child."

Best of luck to all the Grosse Pointe & metro Detroit schools starting tomorrow! Let’s walk into this school year leading with compassion, understanding, and patience with ourselves and others.




New experiences tend to cause conflicting emotions to occur simultaneously. Nervous and excited. Uncertain and hopeful. Frustrated and mindful. That AND is so important! It validates our experience and makes room for all the feelings.




This year will provide opportunities for us to learn academically and emotionally. Take time to focus on both. From the teachers and admin workers, to the students, and the parents: we support you and can do this together. 💪🏼📚✏️
