Hi friends,
I hope you’re all enjoying the holiday season and not blowing too much on Cyber Monday sales. This time of year can make all of us a little compulsive with the clicking.
Since it’s Giving Tuesday, if you’re able to throw in a few shekels to help cover the cost of our coaching and discussion circles, we’d be grateful. These spaces support so many families and self-advocates, and every bit genuinely helps — no big pitch!

Whatever you can give is appreciated.

New Dadvocating Podcast Episode
I’m also sharing a new Dadvocating Podcast episode with my good friend Steve Gonyea from NYADD. We talked about fatherhood, community, and real family engagement. Steve is a fellow dadvocate and podcaster, including his co-hosting of the Finding Common Ground podcast. I’m genuinely excited for you to give it a listen.
