Together, we explore how this powerful question can help us uncover passions, align them with life goals, and become better individuals and parents.

My Journey Inspired by Jessica:

Jessica’s question, “If you could do anything, what would it be?” ignited a profound shift in my life. I share how a pivotal conversation with her led to creating my children’s book series.
