The Women Feminism Left Behind

September 4, 2026

Gloria Steinem helped shape the version of feminism that changed American culture, but the legacy is more complicated than the celebration suggests. This article looks at what women gained, what women lost, and how ideas about abortion, motherhood, marriage, sexuality, work, and independence changed the meaning of female freedom. It also asks the question feminism rarely wants examined: what happens when liberation begins treating womanhood itself as the problem? … More The Women Feminism Left Behind

When Renovation Turns Into Demolition

September 1, 2026

Deconstruction can begin with honest questions, real church harm, and a desire to separate truth from tradition. But when examining faith slowly becomes removing biblical authority, Christ, repentance, and the foundation itself, renovation can turn into demolition. This first issue of Saints, Sinners & Bad Decisions looks candidly at deconstruction through Scripture, psychology, belonging, doubt, apostasy, and the biblical warnings about deception and departure from faith. … More When Renovation Turns Into Demolition

Reading Labels in the Age of Fake Food

August 30, 2026

Food labels matter differently when you are shopping for a child. Food allergies have increased over the last several decades, while the foods filling grocery store shelves are becoming more technologically complicated at the same time. Parents are now navigating reformulated products, unfamiliar ingredient names, precision fermented proteins, changing allergen language, synthetic colors, and marketing terms that do not always mean what we assume they mean. A product can even contain an egg protein made without a chicken and still pose a concern for someone with an egg allergy. Reading Labels in the Age of Fake Food teaches parents how to move past calorie counts and front package advertising so they can understand what is actually in the food they are putting into their children’s grocery carts.

August 28, 2026

No, your Facebook password is not secretly 666, but you may want to keep the tin foil hat nearby. … More The Antichrist Could Have a Social Media Account

August 22, 2026

The People Paying for Fiscal Responsibility

August 20, 2026

Fiscal responsibility sounds responsible until we ask who is actually being required to practice it. Federal and Idaho policy changes are reducing Medicaid and SNAP spending, increasing eligibility and compliance requirements, and shifting more costs onto low income households, while other policies deliver substantial financial gains higher up the income ladder. As a public health educator and mother to disabled children who will need lifelong care, I wanted to look beyond the political slogans and follow the numbers. What I found raises a harder question than whether government is saving money. Is it actually reducing costs, or simply moving them onto the people least able to absorb them? … More The People Paying for Fiscal Responsibility

When Internal Noise Is a Nervous System Pattern Not a Personality Trait

April 13, 2026

What most people call overthinking is often a pattern of unresolved internal processing. When the nervous system is carrying more input than it can organize, thoughts become repetitive, faster, and harder to separate from reality. This is not something to suppress. It is something to observe. Because once a pattern is visible, it can be understood. … More When Internal Noise Is a Nervous System Pattern Not a Personality Trait

This Was Never the Plan

April 9, 2026

This was never supposed to be my path.

My work was shaped in the middle of real life, through disability advocacy, hard diagnoses, and moments where what I was seeing didn’t match what I was being told. I couldn’t ignore it. Guided by faith and lived experience, I learned to stop accepting surface answers and start paying attention to what the body was actually communicating. … More This Was Never the Plan

Overstimulated, Not Overreacting: Rethinking ‘Bad Behavior’ in the Classroom

July 13, 2025

“Your child is not trying to give you a hard time, your child is having a hard time.” Regulation comes before education, because a dysregulated brain cannot learn, no matter how cute the bulletin board is. If we stop reacting to behavior and start responding to needs, we won’t just change a child’s day. We will change their trajectory. … More Overstimulated, Not Overreacting: Rethinking ‘Bad Behavior’ in the Classroom
