Such a special evening at Open Space on Parenting 🤍 my personal take away from my dear friend & colleague Jeff was imagine your 80 year old self & how I want my kids to remember me, what 4 adjectives would they use to describe me (patient, fun, present, caring, etc) ? Am I living in line with that NOW? (And again, being a present parent > perfect one ).
And also speak life over your kids! Say who you see them becoming. They will become that.
Oh wait one more, our incredible event planner pulling off our big September event around her due date and bringing baby to tonight 🥰🥰🥰
Last night was honest, warm, and full. 🤍

Since starting the OPEN SPACE mental health literacy series in 2023, this community + our sponsors have contributed nearly $200,000 to Third Space Charity — the equivalent of 4000 counselling sessions for youth right here in the Okanagan. One room. One conversation at a time.

Thank you to our sponsors: The Martell Legacy Foundation, PurKids Foundation, Crowe MacKay, Pranify, Moreso + Motherlove Ferments, for making this impact as deep as it is.

Last night, when we asked you to name your title, you gave us mama bear, cycle breaker, trier of things, human doing my best. That’s this community. Exactly as it should be. ✨

As you were leaving, you told us the lessons you were taking home: I am not alone. Be present. Raise our kids in community.

That’s exactly why we keep doing this. 🙏🏼

OPEN SPACE returns in September. The Scroll — A Community Conversation on Youth Social Media Use + Mental Health. Register early. This one will fill. Link in bio.

See you in September! 🫂

Between us we have 2 Williams and 8 kids, and always a lot of laughs and tangible takeaways 😂 Checkout more info below!
Parenting asks everything of you

But you were never meant to do it alone + this Thursday, you don’t have to.
