Hi. I’m Jackie.

I’m a SAHM, a former elementary school teacher of 11 years with a master’s degree in counseling, and a lover of word play and all things creative. I am passionate about helping parents break the cycle of trauma in order to create emotionally resilient children.

I rely on humor, acronyms, analogies, and songs to help get my points across in a non-threatening way. In addition to content creation, I am the author of How to P.A.R.E.N.T.: Possibly Actually Remember Everything Next Time. I write, produce, edit, and star in Ptera on YouTube to teach emotional regulation strategies to kids. And I co-host Hiding in Cars, a podcast for parents seeking 5 minutes of zen in their cars.

In the realm of parenting's unpredictable journey, this book serves as a powerful reminder that Jackie's guidance shines as an invaluable source of wisdom and encouragement.

Honest, funny, and insightful, this book proves to be a resource I wholeheartedly endorse without reservation.”
