We were babies! Happy birthday, Jessie Hellmann. I miss you and owe you a DC trip. Soon. 🥂

This #NationalSuicidePreventionMonth, I am proud to work for the Indiana FSSA, which has a nation-leading in-state answer rate of more than 90% after the launch of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

I wish books had a “previously on…” because I’ll sometimes put one down for months before I pick it back up. Anyone want to remind me what happened in the first 200 pages of A Little Life?

On Tuesday, January 30, Foster Success will be at the Statehouse! Older foster youth will share their lived experiences in the state's foster care system with lawmakers. By doing so, they aim to raise awareness and promote the need for legislation to support older foster youth.

Join me for this one-of-a-kind event and support teens and young adults transitioning out of foster care in Indiana!

Support my fave nonprofit AND coffee shop this Foster Care Awareness Month! 💙
