She’s always been a storyteller—but for the first time, she turned the lens inward and began telling her own story. In this episode, we explore how personal moments—navigating her children’s anxiety, big emotions, and everyday struggles—became the foundation for the Monsters on Mill Street book series.

These aren’t just children’s stories—they’re tools. Born from real-life teachable moments, each book helps kids develop emotional intelligence, soft skills, and healthy coping strategies. Whether it was talking through anxious feelings or learning how to name big emotions, the lessons in these pages reflect how one mom used love and creativity to help her kids grow from the inside out.
