It's A TALK TO YOUR BOYS Book Launch, And You're Invited!

Help us introduce "Talk To Your Boys" to the world!

Hi Readers! It’s the first week of school here, and everyone around me is exhausted - me included! That said, I am super thrilled that “Talk To Your Boys,” the book I wrote with Joanna Schroeder, comes out in just 18 days! I unboxed the first copies recently and the book is just beautiful, and I think it will really be useful to people who want closer connections to the boys in their lives.

Below, watch a video of Joanna and I talking about the book on daytime TV, and find out how to join us at our book launch parties in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Chime in in the comments if you think we should have one online, or if you want to suggest other cities we should visit. You have been WONDERFULLY supportive through this whole book creation project and I really appreciate it.
