I’m so glad you’re here.

As a mom, I’ve always wanted my daughter to have a head start on the kind of confidence and resilience that took me decades to build through therapy, coaching, and endless personal development books.

Before I started Little Leaders Publishing, I spent my career on countless Zoom calls coaching people at every stage of their journey from recent graduates landing their first big breaks to CMOs and CIOs leading major organizations. Because of that work, I’ve had the chance to share my expertise on over 100 podcasts and in publications like Forbes and Business Insider.

But a single statistic changed the way I looked at my career and my parenting. I read that a child’s brain and sense of self are largely developed by age three, and that the person they are by age seven dictates who they will be for the rest of their lives.

I realized that as an adult coach, I was often helping people "fix" things that were set in stone decades ago. I wanted to focus on the foundation instead. I started looking for books that would teach my daughter things like grit, kindness, and a growth mindset, but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

So, I decided to write it myself.

I intentionally wrote "Big Dreams, Tiny Steps" in an affirmation style. When you read it to your child, you are automatically "pouring" into them with words like "You are brave" and "You are capable". I wanted to make it incredibly easy for me and for you to build a successful mindset in our kids during those few minutes we have together at the end of a long day.

I want to raise a child who isn't just successful, but is a thriving, happy adult. I have a feeling I’m not the only one.

Let’s raise our little leaders together.
