Girl, Do The Work: The inevitable fallout of Rachel Hollis’s problematic ideologies

April 5, 2021

GIRL, DO THE WORK: THE INEVITABLE FALLOUT OF RACHEL HOLLIS’S PROBLEMATIC IDEOLOGIES

A recent video by author Rachel Hollis, and the subsequent apology, has gotten a lot of blowback. I left a comment that was twice deleted. I will post it here instead. Because I think we need to talk about toxic ideologies. I have watched with curiosity for several years as a lot of Rachel’s problematic ideologies have gained popularity, and I think we are witnessing is the inevitable fallout.  It’s no surprise that someone who preaches that we don't need to apologize is not capable of . . .

FULL FALL | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2010.

April 1, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2010. Our October calendar is quickly filling up.  I don’t know about you, but our schedule is always feast of famine.  We will have days or weeks of relatively nothing on the books, and then everything sort of happens at once.  October is like that for us.  I will be travelling three weekends in October, and although I’m really excited about all of it, I’m already feeling exhausted. Next week Mark and I are headed to . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Braden

March 31, 2021

Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system.

Touristing When you bought the citypass but they just want to skate under a bridge ... With three in high school next year I guess college tours are a part of our travel plans now. We tour City College SF and Berkeley today. They are both a ways outside of my “two hour radius from home” rule for college but I’m starting to get the feeling they are going to ignore me on that one. A mom can try ... It's launch day for my dear friend @jenhatmaker’s book Simple and Free. This book was . . .

March 25, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM SEPTEMBER 2010.
