Welcome to the press kit & news page for Mom Loves the Dogs More

Looking for a guest who brings compelling storytelling, heartfelt honesty, and a mission to help families reconnect? I speak and write about the messy, beautiful truth of parenting teens, the unexpected ways rescue animals heal us, and how ordinary families can discover extraordinary resilience. Through my memoir Mom Loves the Dogs More and my longtime work with rescue organizations, I elevate conversations about mental health, compassion, and second chances. I’m available for interviews, podcasts, feature articles, guest essays, and presentations that inspire, educate, and spark hope in parents - of teens and pets- and communities.
