Hey you,

It’s August, and that means it’s my birthday month! 🎂🎈

Now, I could just check in to say “Happy Birthday to me,” but really… I want to say happy birthday to YOU, too — because this month, I’ve planned some fun things for you to celebrate!

Every Monday this month, I’ll be revealing a new birthday surprise inside my newsletter — special offers, helpful tools, and exciting events you won’t want to miss. 🎁

But since I’ve got so many things happening this month — summits, collaborations, a brand-new sponsorship, and back-to-school events — I wanted to send you this special note with the full scoop. These are all things I believe in deeply and want to make sure you don’t miss out on.

🎤 Events I’m Speaking At

​

This one’s focused on rethinking education, especially homeschooling. If you’re a parent, educator, or just someone who’s ever wondered “Is school the only way?” — this free summit could be perfect for you.

🗓️ Live Interviews | Homeschooling Focus | Free to Attend

2. Back-to-School Success Summit

​

With Ace Cookie Tutoring Starts Monday, and my talk airs Tuesday! It’s also free and full of resources to help families start the school year strong.

🎒 Academic Confidence | Test Prep | Executive Function | Freebies Galore

(I’m actually giving the same talk in both summits — but they’re different themes, audiences, and speaker lineups, so you’ll get a lot out of both!)

💡 The First Event I’m Sponsoring. This one’s personal.

I’ve always had math anxiety — rooted in early school experiences where I felt slow, embarrassed, or just not “a math person.” So when a math anxiety coach reached out to collaborate, I felt an immediate YES in my bones.

He’s partnering with Ace Rocket, a test prep platform, to offer a free session helping students prepare for the SAT Math section (and yes, it will help with ACT too!).

If your child freezes up when they see equations, or if test anxiety is a big barrier for them, this session could be a game changer. ✅ Test Prep Tools ✅ Math Mindset Support ✅ Real Strategies for Real Kids

More info and signup links for all of these events are below!

✨ Why I’m Sharing All This You know my heart is helping teens and young adults navigate anxiety — but I also want to spotlight the network of caring adults doing important work behind the scenes. As a mom, grandma, and long-time educator, I always want to know what resources are out there for families… and I want YOU to know too.

So whether you’re a parent, a counselor, a teacher, or someone who loves a young person navigating anxiety, school pressure, or test fears — these events are for you.

🎉 Weekly Birthday Surprises — Stay Tuned! Every Monday in August, I’ll be dropping a new birthday celebration into your inbox — little gifts, trainings, surprises, or maybe even a ridiculous birthday story or two. 🤭

I’m turning 57 this year — and honestly, I feel better, wiser, and more grounded than ever. (Thank you therapy, coaching, and some really good books.) I’m so excited to share everything I’ve been learning.

So keep your eye on your inbox each week. And if you’re a fellow Leo, or just love celebrating your birthday too — hit reply and let me know when your special day is. Or tell me what you’d love to see me offer this month. I’d truly love to hear from you.

Talk soon, Cynthia 💛
