Hey there! I’m so excited to launch the Raising Young Achievers Podcast with episode 1!! In this introductory episode, I share a pivotal moment that fueled my passion for supporting parents in navigating their children's education journey. This episode was actually from my first podcast, The Rise Society, and it was Inspired by a podcast series I listened to on the American literacy crisis.

This episode marked the moment that I fully realized the crucial role parents play in supplementing their kids' education. This realization, along with my own experiences as a mom, led me to create The Raising Young Achievers podcast. Please join me for this first episode and many more to come as we explore what it really takes for our kids to thrive inside and outside of school.
