I was recently featured in a segment on the show on about how new studies have shown that 1 in 5 teens are turning to AI like Chat GPT and other artificial intelligence apps for mental health support.

I was interviewed by about my thoughts on the matter, especially when it comes to the personalization of therapy in regards to SI, how to implement daily check-ins to keep a pulse on their child’s mental wellbeing and what symptoms parents should look out for to know if their child might be in crisis.

What are your thoughts on teens looking to AI for mental health advice?

Oahu Photo Dump 🌺🤙🏻 📸 Now that my surgery and book launch/tour are over, I’m itching to go on another big family vacation. Last summer we took a road trip, and it was amazing, but I love a good relaxing, tropical getaway. ☀️🌴

Our last trip we took like this was to Oahu, Hawaii almost two years ago! We had 10 glorious days staying at and where we swam in waterfalls, snorkeled with turtles, relaxed at the pool, tanned at the beach, hiked to multiple waterfalls, and visited Pearl Harbor and to see where Jurassic World was filmed!

We also ate lots of shaved ice, Kauai Pie ice cream from (my favorite) and ate good food and drank fun drinks at 🍔 I’ll never forget the macadamia nut coconut latte at Turtle Bay! And we even went to the best luau at too! 🔥

Not sure where we will go next but I’m excited for when we book our next trip! ✈️ I’m thinking something international!

On this episode I’m talking therapist to therapist with Chrissy Lawler from .peaceful.sleeper - a mom of 4 and fellow Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, all about sleep and her new book “The Peaceful Sleeper: An Intuitive Approach to Baby Sleep.”

Chrissy Lawler, LMFT, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience. She has dedicated her graduate education to researching attachment, and her post-graduate education to understanding the science of sleep as well as uncovering what it takes for women to thrive (and not just survive) in motherhood and marriage. Chrissy fundamentally believes that we should feel empowered and fulfilled in motherhood, and knows that better information and better tools are a critical piece of that puzzle.

As the founder of The Peaceful Sleeper, she has guided more than 400,000 families worldwide to better rest and stronger mental health through her evidence-based, research-backed approach to infant sleep.

Featured on Good Morning America, Newsweek, and Better Homes & Gardens, Chrissy has worked with corporations, executives, professional athletes and celebrities. A mom of four, she combines clinical expertise with real-life parenting experience, offering parents practical, compassionate tools that deliver proven results in helping babies (and their families) sleep soundly.

My last stop of my book tour is in the “books!” 🤭🎉📘

Yesterday I spent a beautiful sunny Southern Californian morning at Lacy Park in Los Angeles with at a pilates class followed by a brief conversation, Q&A, and book signing!

Everyone who attended received a copy of my book in their gift bag, compliments of the amazing owner of The Enchanted Co, Chanda! I am so grateful to her for this wonderful opportunity to share my book with her parenting community.

If you haven’t heard of The Enchanted Co yet, it’s an online marketplace that connects families with vetted sitters for on demand childcare services, so if you live in the LA area, please check out her new app! Think of like Uber for quality, trusted on-demand babysitting!

That’s a wrap on May and my official book tour month! More to come soon with more events, webinars, seminars, and podcast interviews soon!

So much gratitude for today’s book signing at the in Temecula. 📚

Since the moment I walked into the store for the first time, I fell in love with the quaintness and beauty of it. And then once I met the store owner, Melissa, and we connected immediately on many levels, having a book event there to wrap up my book launch month, meant the world to me.

A special shout out to the friends and family that showed up today to support me. The effort you made to come see me so appreciated. No excuses. You made it happen!

If you missed today’s event, I signed some extra copies and they are in the bookstore ready for purchase! Last time I did an event here, my books sold out quickly, so if you want an autographed copy, make sure to hurry in and support me as well as your local and independent book sellers!

I’m excited to be speaking at the FREE 2-day Focus Forward ADHD 2.0 Summit alongside 24 incredible experts sharing practical, research-backed strategies for ADHD support across all ages.

What makes this event different?

🧠 Day 1 is all about kids & teens with ADHD
⚡ Day 2 is focused on adults with ADHD

Because ADHD doesn’t just impact one age group, support shouldn’t stop after childhood. Whether you’re parenting a child with ADHD, supporting students, or navigating ADHD yourself, this event is designed to give you helpful, real-life strategies you can actually use.

I am beyond thrilled to continue my book tour this weekend with an author meet n greet and book signing at the in Temecula on Saturday from 1PM-3PM!

I was there in April for Independent Bookstore Day and I am so excited to be back! This is my second to last stop on the tour, so if you’re local, please make an effort to be there! I’d appreciate the support and know you’ll fall in love with this store the moment you step inside!

The owner, Melissa, opened her doors less than a year ago after being a mobile bookstore for years and we quickly became friends a few months ago! I am so grateful to her for giving me this opportunity to share my book with her community! (Swipe to see us at the last event!)

I hope you come by and say hello! 👋🏻

The month of May has been nothing short of a spectacular dream. Let’s go back to PUB DAY for a moment when I kicked off the day at for a segment all about my book “PARENTING THROUGH PLAY!” 📘 Anchor and I talked all about connection, behavior, power struggles, and how to parent in a playful way (even with the older kids)! It was the BEST way to start this special day! 💜💙💚 Thank you for all of your support!!! 🫶🏻
