Use equal parts heart and mind to guide daily life.
Whether you’re navigating parenting, ongoing education or career development, taking a Heartminded approach can help you navigate daily life and challenges.
Heartminded describes a person who intimately knows their heart and mind, follows their intuition, and applies this to their daily life. Equal parts discipline, research-based practices, emotional intelligence and intuition combine to create a balanced approach to decision-making and boundary setting. Equal parts heart and mind, individual and family, science and art, nature and nurture.
That’s the Heartminded way.
Learn at your own pace.
Living a Heartminded life is an intentional practice. Day-by-day, choice by choice– just by trying, you’ll make strides towards being the person, parent, friend and independent individual you want to be.
EXPLORING TOGETHER.
I make content based on a variety of topics including: authoritative parenting, early childhood education, literacy, emotional intelligence, bodily autonomy and more.
Time To Speak Up
As the digital creator and single mom behind Heartminded Mama, I started my journey online speaking up about bodily autonomy. Making videos modeling consent conversations for my two boys, I quickly found a community of like-minded parents and allies online who were interested in surfacing important topics like consent and parenting “myths”.
Online media outlets took notice of our conversation :
"Mother and Elementary School Teacher from Chicago area goes viral for unique parenting style..."
"In a series of viral TikTok videos, Alissa models how she discusses everyday tasks with her little ones...
"Mom shares how she uses diaper changes to teach boys about consent and body autonomy..."
"Another TikTok parenting tip that we absolutely love? Teaching your kids about consent..."
“We need to teach children to protect themselves and to understand the power and value of their bodies.”
— Alissa, BUZZFEED
