What Jo and I see every day is this: children and teens don’t grow brave alone.
They borrow our breath… our grounding… our steady presence.
And slowly, their nervous system learns,
“I’m safe. I can try. I can be brave.”

If you want your child to step into bravery with gentle guidance and a community that truly gets it…
