The Perfectly Imperfect Family
Real Solutions for Mindful Parents Navigating Today’s Biggest Challenges

Parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence, connection, and growing alongside our children.

I’m so excited to share that I contributed a chapter to a powerful new book:
The Perfectly Imperfect Family — a heartfelt guide filled with real-world wisdom for today’s mindful parents.

This book gathers insights from world-renowned experts, parenting coaches, and experienced parents who have lived through — and learned from — the beautiful, messy journey of raising families today.


What the Experts are saying:


Dr. Shefali, NYT Bestselling Author of The Parenting Map, said this… 
“The Perfectly Imperfect Family is more than a parenting book—it is a guide for living with intention, vulnerability, and love. It reminds us that while parenting may be the hardest job in the world, it is also the most meaningful. Each moment with our children is an invitation to awaken—to grow in consciousness, to choose love over fear, presence over control.”

Dr. Daniel Siegel, bestselling author and co-author of Whole Brain Child, and Brainstorm, said The Perfectly Imperfect Family was “a potpourri of parenting pearls, this concise and compelling collection of conscious parenting tips is a treasure trove of wisdom for every parent! Each contributor offers their personal and professional insights into the heart of parenting well.

Then Dr. Kristin Neff, NYT bestselling author of Self-Compassion, added, “Imagine sitting in a room with dozens of parenting experts who all distill what they’ve learned into short, easy-to-digest nuggets of advice. This book offers busy parents a world of wisdom on a wide range of important topics, in a format they can actually use. I highly recommend it!”
