Break for Kids
"Your best is good enough!"
- my 7-year old
He would be wrong. Sometimes.
Because we wouldn't have creativity or imagination without kids.
My family is my fuel. I write for them. I’m building a business for them.
And in return, I get to stress over every parenting decision I make, while I try not to fuck them up.
Just kidding! Sorta. I get a whole lot more than just stress!
My own hype squad
A 10x funnier and more stubborn version of myself in my youngest son
Endless entertainment from my twin girls, the bosses of the Laing house
Constant hockey stat education from my oldest son
Joy and pride at my kids' sporting events
Sick ice rinks built by my hubby
Inspiration for my writing
and so much more. Here's everything you want (and maybe don't want) to know about my life and how it shapes my business.
What my kids have taught me about content creation:
I’m a mom above all, and marketing can wait.
Honesty is the best policy.
When you fail, you get back up.
An intense view of the world is far better than a boring one.
Your opinion matters more than you know.
Never assume no one is paying attention.
Your audience, like children, has short attention spans. Make every word count.
Be your own hype squad.
Say the thing you’re afraid to say. What’s the worst that could happen?
Let them see your uniqueness.
