Gwen's Side Gigs

Outside of the podcast, I dabble in an assortment of passion projects. I'm currently completing a master's degree in creative writing and literature, and hope to publish a story-based workbook for parents and guardians raising neurodivergent children. Given the way my brain operates, you never know when I'll open another business.

Children's books hold a piece of my heart. They are a beautifully accessible way for readers of all ages to be inspired. There are millions of children's books in the world and just a small percentage receive wide recognition. Searching for just the right book can be daunting and isolating. Every child AND adult deserves to see themselves, their families, their cultural experiences, their abilities, and their hard questions depicted in the pages of books. It's our passion that all readers are empowered through the curation of stories within our online shop. Shop for ALL your book needs here.

In 2019, my son, Rylan, and I published a book about living in his brain with Autism and Tourettes. "If I Squeeze Your Head I'm Sorry" is a delightful and insightful blend of his words and art as they relate to his everyday experiences in the world. This book was invaluable therapy for both Rylan and me and allowed so many people to understand him better and opened doors for other neurodiverse readers to feel understood. Purchase your copy of our book HERE. We have a curriculum guide that partners with the book. Contact me directly to order a copy for your classroom.
