…where stories heal hearts.

09/29/2026

Everyone is speaking the same language, and things still get lost in translation.

Jillian Harris works at a school in New York City where every student has a language-based learning disability β€” dyslexia, dysgraphia, often alongside ADHD and anxiety. A big part of her job is resolving conflict between kids.

And what causes most of it isn't malice. It's a missed word. A tone that didn't land the way it was meant. Information that went in clearly and came back out sideways.

And sometimes they simply disagree, because they're normal kids, and normal kids have conflict.

Rita's reaction was the same as mine: that isn't a description of a classroom. That's a description of the world right now.

If you're parenting or teaching a kid who processes language differently, I'd love to hear what's helped.

"If you don't tell them the truth, someone else will." 🀍

That line from grief therapist stopped me. Most of us were raised on "we don't talk about it" β€” and then we wonder why our kids are anxious about the things we never named.

This week opens Season 2 of Once Upon a Feeling, and it's about connection: how love and loss are the same thread, how kids grieve differently than we do (and better), and the one question that helps a heart β€” at 6 or at 46.

Save this for the day you need it. Share it with the friend who's in it now.

Which of the five is hardest for you? πŸ‘‡

We're always planning the future. Especially with our kids. 🧱

And then one day that future isn't there, and the grief hits like a pile of bricks.

There's a name for what we do before that: anticipatory grief. And says the denial that comes with it isn't the enemy β€” denial is a coping tool. Our brains are built to protect us from what feels unsafe.

So her question isn't "are you in denial?" It's this: is it getting in the way of you living life the way you want to?

It’s been such an amazing summer, traveling, connecting with nature, with family and friends, and with ourselves.

After a summer full of inspiration, we’ve decided to explore the concept and feeling of connection in season two of the Once Upon a Feeling podcast. And the first episode drops today!

Have a listen. I hope you enjoy it, and I can’t wait to share more with you. I’ll see you back here very soon.

Why is asking for help so hard? πŸ₯š

For a lot of us, it was scripted early: "Why would you want to trouble people? I don't want to owe anyone anything." So we grew up handling everything alone β€” and now we type "where's my village" into the search bar at 11pm.

Dr. Anne Josephson, licensed psychologist and founder of , says the way back is smaller than we think: treat asking like any other fear β€” small, repeated reps. Borrow the egg. Make the specific ask. And let your kids watch you do it, because they learn to ask for help by seeing us ask.

What's the smallest thing you could ask someone for this week? Tell us below. πŸ‘‡

Conflict is not the opposite of intimacy. πŸ”₯

We used to think a fight meant something was broken. Turns out what matters isn't whether you argue β€” it's whether you find your way back to each other after.

Dr. Sheena Glover put it simply: a healthy relationship isn't measured by how much conflict happens. It's measured by the repair. And your kids are watching that part more closely than you think β€” not the fight, the coming back together.

What did you learn about conflict growing up β€” and what are you doing differently now?

Did you know your brain β€” and your child's β€” is literally being rewritten by what you repeat every day?

Deanna went through postpartum depression that left her feeling like a shell of herself.

No energy, no clarity, no idea who to call.

What pulled her through wasn't a shortcut.
It was three phases, a mirror, and a lot of repetition. Today she runs a neuroscience-backed brand for kids and families β€” and her 4-year-old hums "Fly Me to the Moon" on his scooter in the driveway.

If your kids are between 0 and 7, this might be the most important episode you listen to this year.

"If I didn't have my rituals in place, I couldn't do any of it."

That hit me.

Because we've all felt it β€” that frantic, reactive energy when everything is pulling at you at once. School calendars. Work. The social stuff. The never-ending to-do list.

And nobody stopped to ask: what do I actually want my family life to look like?

says it so clearly in this conversation β€” rituals aren't about slowing down. They're what make it possible to show up at all.

The more modern life speeds up, the more we need them.

What's one ritual that actually grounds you? Drop it below πŸ‘‡
