Executive Functioning is a Team Sport™

Forthcoming

Executive functioning isn’t just something that happens inside individual brains. It’s something communities build together. This forthcoming book explores parenting, neurodivergence, gender diversity, belonging, and the ways families learn to carry one another through impossible seasons.

Featured Excerpts

Plot Twist: I’m Different On Purpose

A story about neuroqueerness, identity, chosen family, and the moment an entire life suddenly makes sense. Sometimes the plot twist isn’t becoming someone different. It’s finally understanding who you’ve been all along.

Parenting in the Upside Down

What happens when survival becomes so familiar it starts to feel like home? Through the lens of Stranger Things, this chapter explores parenting, hypervigilance, grief, and the quiet exhaustion of trying to raise children while your own nervous system is still listening for monsters.

Children Suck at Body Doubling

An excerpt from the upcoming book Executive Functioning is a Team Sport. What begins as a reflection on body doubling becomes the doorway to a larger question: What if executive functioning doesn’t only happen inside individual brains? What if it also happens between nervous systems?

About the Book

This book is still becoming.

I’m following it where it needs to go. It is a living manuscript, and new excerpts will be added as the chapters take shape.
