who's writing this

hi. i'm monica.

i'm a mom of two. i started raise ready moms because every parenting forum i lurked in was selling me something — a tracker, an app, a course, a panic. i wanted a place that wasn't.

this isn't a punishment publication and it isn't a lecture publication. it's two short posts every week, plus a couple of mom-approved tools for the conversations that are hardest to start cold.
