Books
“If a child is old enough to ask a question, they are old enough to hear the answer.”
I write children’s books explaining difficult subjects, like breast cancer and death, in a gentle, yet honest way, using language very young children can understand. All my books are written from my own personal experience, and from my heart.

Speaking from the heart and from personal experience, my presentations are thought-provoking, authentic and impactful.
