We are beyond thrilled to host Kelsie Olds as guest speaker for this incredibly important and timely topic – exploring the theme of Power With, instead of Power Over.

“When you’ve been someone’s lifelong caregiver — when you’ve known them ever since they were a tiny, immobile potato — it’s occasionally just jarring to hear them make demands, try to control you, or insist they know what they’re doing when they oh-so-clearly do not. But of course as they grow up they’re supposed to be able to take on more and more responsibility! So…where’s the balance? How do we raise, parent, care for, or teach empowered kids instead of squashing their fledgling power when they wield it clumsily? How and when do we pass the powerful torch into their hands at the right time?”
