Wilder Gray
Meet Angela- she’s the founder, creative, and love behind Wilder Gray. In the midst of her pregnancy, when she was wrapping her head around the massive life changes ahead of her, she realized the diaper bag market even wanted her to give up the western boho style she loves so much. She is determined to weave her favorite aspects of life into her motherhood journey, and believes we aren’t meant to live life inside a box. Wilder Gray has perfected a leather backpack style diaper back that’s as beautiful as it is versatile, and will be expanding their collection in the coming year. Did we mention Angela also pours herself into the small sanctuary farm she’s raising her son on?! Hop on over to the Wilder Gray website and Instagram to support this amazing mother.

Big Picture Parenting
Hi, I’m Amy, the founder and Chief Connection Officer at Big Picture Parenting. For the past 20 years my passion has been helping the parents and children I work with thrive- together. I have supported families all over the country in their journey to connect with each other, overcome obstacles, and build effective boundaries that mitigate tantrums and chaos before they happen. I’m convinced that women shouldn’t feel like they’re drowning in motherhood, so my goal is to equip them with the tools they need to keep their head above water. My experience spans a wide array of family circumstances including divorce, autism, ADHD (in both parents and children), undiagnosed medical complications, single parents, same sex families, CEOs, professional athletes, international travel, and relocation. There’s not much I haven’t seen.

Courageous Kids
Many parents know the heartbreak of having an anxious child, but too often they don’t have the practical supports they need.
A few years ago, I was one of those parents: my 4 year old had terrible separation anxiety, and it was heartbreaking. As a doctor, I went all out on early intervention. I did the research, and the work… and on his first day at school he came up to me and whispered “You can go now, mom”.
I made the Courageous Kids app to share the exact strategies that served us best:
- A library of stories you can fully personalize to your child to prepare them for anything – from starting preschool or school, to going to the dentist, to going to a birthday party!
- Games to build familiarity with new environments.
- Picture plans to show what will happen, in order.
Courageous Kids helps build connection with your child with practical, fun supports to get them roaring and ready!
Available on App Store and Google Play.
