Hi Sam Ellis! I just explored The Grove Parenting Hub, love the community you’re building. I have been helping community owners launch High-Engagement Skool communities since last 2 years on skool, and I’ve got a FREE "Full community setup" no-strings attached, just for you. (normally $100). 👉 See the 2‑min rundown & book a slot: Community Launch You’ll get: polished and structured copywriter About Page, AI‑designed icon & cover image, and a launch‑ready community in just 30 min. No pressure, just a smoother launch and tidy backend. (Heads‑up: Some people enjoy the struggle of building a skool community infrastructure from scratch and wouldn't want professional help, so I myself will delete this post in 4 days, and quietly exit if you’re busy (I don't wanna spam or disturb your community, I respect the vibe 🙏). Want to chat later? Just DM “Let’s Build” and I will stay here longer to help later.) Looking forward to helping The Grove Parenting Hub Grow & shine!⭐ (Explore More) Community Launch

When you’re tired, when things feel urgent, or when the same pattern keeps repeating? There’s no right answer — just notice what comes up. Read more on Collaboration

As you move through the Connection Anchor, you might notice small moments where you slowed down, said less, or stayed present a bit longer than usual. Was there a moment this week where you noticed yourself holding a moment differently?

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the work I get to do with parents and caregivers, and what stands out most to me isn’t “progress” in the traditional sense. It’s the moments when parents feel safe enough to pause. Safe enough to say, “This is hard,” or “I’m not sure what to do here.” That willingness doesn’t come from having it all figured out — it comes from being met with empathy rather than judgment. Many of the parents I support are exhausted, unsure, and carrying a lot of self-doubt. And still, in the middle of that, they show up. Sometimes that looks like curiosity. Sometimes it looks like frustration. Sometimes it looks like just staying in the room when things feel messy. All of it counts. This is the kind of work I care most about: meeting people where they are, without expectations of readiness or change. I don’t believe parents need to be reflective, calm, or regulated to deserve support. I believe those things emerge when people feel understood and supported over time. I’m feeling grateful for the trust parents place in me, and clear about the kind of spaces I want to help create — ones where struggle is allowed, learning is shared, and connection comes before correction. If you’re in a season that feels heavy, uncertain, or unfinished, you belong here too.
