Spring Releases: Courses + Guides to Help You Support Your Child

Spring always feels like a season of growth—and for me, that couldn’t be more true this year.

Over the past few months, I’ve been quietly working behind the scenes to bring something to life that’s been on my heart for a long time: creating real, in-depth support for parents navigating the toughest parts of their child’s social and emotional world.

Many of you already know that I wrote a book designed to help teens and young people make sense of big, confusing emotions—especially when it comes to friendships, body image, identity, and belonging. But I also knew, from the beginning, that I wanted to create something for the adults too. Something that went beyond surface-level advice and into meaningful, practical guidance.

And guess what? It’s happening!

Here’s what’s coming up this spring:

Available Now: The Complete Friendship Map Guide

While many of you have already downloaded my free condensed guide on recognizing toxic friendships, there’s a full, expanded version available now.

The Friendship Map: Supporting your child through difficult friendships goes deeper into the signs, the emotional toll, and what to do if your child is caught in an unhealthy friendship dynamic. It’s designed to help you feel less helpless—and more clear on how to offer support without stepping on toes.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, now’s a great time.

Launching May 1st: The Digital Course on Friendship Struggles

This one is big.

On May 1st, I’m launching a full digital course for parents that digs deep into the topic of friendship struggles. Through engaging videos, printable resources, and real talk about what kids are facing, this course gives you everything you need to walk alongside your child with clarity and compassion.

If you’ve ever asked yourself:

Should I step in or step back?
Is this just drama—or something more?
What do I say when my child is hurting?

This course was made for you.

Coming May 12th: The Body Image Blueprint (Parent Guide)

Another guide I’m so excited to share is The Body Image Blueprint: Helping Your Child Navigate Body Image Struggles. It’s coming May 12th, and it’s one of the resources I’m most proud of.

This guide is gentle, grounded, and full of tools to help you have better conversations and offer real support—whether your child is silently struggling or opening up for the first time. It’s not just for parents, either. It’s a valuable tool for caregivers, counselors, and educators as well.

Coming in June: Digital Course on Body Image

A few weeks later, I’ll be releasing the digital course companion to the Body Image Blueprint.

It will include:

Step-by-step modules for parents
Conversation starters and activities
Reflections and tools for building body confidence at home

This is the kind of resource I’ve always wanted to create—for parents like me, walking through it in real time.

On the Horizon: A Full Guide on Bullying

This one is still in the works, but it’s coming.

The Bullying Guide and Digital Course is a big piece of my vision—one I’ve been dreaming about for a long time. I want to create a resource that doesn’t just define bullying, but helps families truly understand it, navigate it, and heal from it.

Stay tuned for a release date.

Why This Matters

All of these resources—every guide, every course—are born from the same belief: that parents and caregivers deserve real tools to support their kids through hard things.

This has been a long-time vision of mine. To bring to life each of the difficult topics I covered in my book. To create something practical and encouraging for the people who are doing the work of raising the next generation.

It means a lot to have you here with me.

If you’re not on my email list yet, now’s a great time to sign up. That’s where I’ll be sharing launch announcements, early bird discounts, and occasional insights to help you feel less alone in this parenting journey. (No spam from me: two messages per month only!)

Here’s to growth—yours, your child’s, and ours together.
