Stay Curious, Stand Brave & Smash The Kyriarchy

Choose Your Adventure

Hey friends!

There are so many things we need to talk about with our kids before they grow up and realize we’re too dorky to listen to. Don’t panic though. DO NOT PANIC.

::panicking just a little bit::

When I get overwhelmed by massive climate disasters, legislative evil, and other big dooms, I break out of inertia by taking one small, tiny action – right away.

Show your kids that little actions make a difference.

Let’s raise kids who tackle huge problems with glee – realizing they’re already a force for change. 

We’ll tackle this together, one day at a time. Not sure where to start? I got you.

In July we explore interdependence & the impact of hyper-local action

Below, we’ll start with stories to introduce challenges we’re facing together. Then we’ll brainstorm small actions that little kids can handle. 

Share your wisdom in the comments – what small actions empower your kids to take on the whole damn world?

With you,

Ashia R.
