The Yellow Brick Road Project

Now on a more personal note… something close to my heart. ❤️

A dear family friend’s daughter was recently diagnosed with a very rare neurodevelopment disorder linked to the HNRNPH2 gene. It impacts things like speech, mobility, and overall development, and because it’s so rare, research and awareness are incredibly limited.

I’m teaming up with the Yellow Brick Road Project, a nonprofit working hard to fund research and spread awareness for children and families living with this conldition. And as someone who’s so lucky to be surrounded by an amazing, supportive community like YOU, I know we can help make a difference together.

To raise awareness and give back, I’ll be picking two winners to receive a special curated box of goodies 💛 All you have to do to enter is:

1. Donate any amount to the Yellow Brick Road Project here

2. Then email a screenshot of your receipt to [email protected]

Your support means the world—not just to me, but to so many families fighting for answers and hope. Honestly so grateful for you guys in my community! 🥰❤️

Giveaway ends June 6th, so be sure to email your receipts in by then!

Some Parenting Thoughts

There’s been this parenting trend going around where you say a few “toxic” phrases to your kids just to see how they respond. I decided to try it with mine and their reactions absolutely melted me 🥹. They answered with so much gentleness… made my heart so full. ❤️ You can watch it here!

It also sparked some reflection for me. For a while now, Veeral and I have really tried to reframe the way we communicate. Not just what we say, but how we say it.

It’s made me more intentional about creating a home where my kids feel safe to speak up, share their feelings, and mess up without fear. Even the phrases that seem harmless in the moment can have a lasting impact on our kids’ confidence and emotional well-being. Choosing words that build our kids up is so crucial and it’s not about being a perfect parent (because, let’s be real, is that even a thing?)… rather it’s about pausing for a second before responding.

Anyways, I just really think it’s up to us to break that chain/ old patterns ☺️. So here’s to all of us doing the work and trying to be better for our kids, because the way we speak, respond, and show up every day sets the tone for our kids’ sense of self and confidence. ❤️
