What do you teach?
I know how overwhelming the jump from the nest can be. There’s so much to learn and do, and the world expects you how to know all of it going into the game!
I teach many adulting basics, from budgeting to shopping, learning to live independently, to basic cooking and cleaning skills, to navigating healthy relationships, to managing a schedule, and more!

What are free hugs?
I started this website because once upon a time, I was a foster parent to two wonderful boys. The boys were reunited with their birth parents, but I wanted to have a place they could go to learn the lessons we wouldn’t get to teach them, and to read the love and encouragement we wouldn’t get to share with them at home. These letters have evolved into uplifting words of love and encouragement that are for them, for Young (not-a) Mama J, and for all those out there who missed out on those loving words growing up. No matter where you are in life, I want you to know that you are enough, that you matter.
