In June 2025, my incredible son Jaden graduated fr In June 2025, my incredible son Jaden graduated from high school, and my heart couldn’t be more full. Looking at family photos—from his kindergarten days with that adorable smile to the confident young man in his cap and gown—I’m overwhelmed with pride and wonder at how quickly time passes. Jaden has taught me more about patience, joy, and unconditional love than I could have ever imagined. His curiosity, compassion, and determination have shaped not just the exceptional person he’s become, but have made me a better parent and human along the way. As he prepares for Yale this fall (still can’t believe it!), I’m savoring these precious last months with both my children under one roof. This season of life—with late-night conversations, impromptu family dinners, and even the occasional sibling squabble—is one I’ll cherish forever. You’ll find more in my newsletter and article coming out this week about everything I’ve learned on the way to this amazing milestone. Here’s to all the families with graduates— congratulations! 💙🎓 #ClassOf2025 #CongratulationsGraduates #Motherhood #ConsciousParenting
