October's here in 2 days, and that has us wondering—what will you be celebrating?
Whether it’s making it through another week of homework chaos or those rare moments when the kids actually clean their rooms, it’s the little wins that keep us going 😌
October also brings some special days to plan around: National Family History Month, World Teacher’s Day (October 5), and National Bullying Prevention Month. Great reasons to pause and connect with your family or classroom in meaningful ways.
Speaking of celebrating—next month’s theme is resilience. You know, like when your kid spills their juice again and you’re trying to hold it together for the 100th time. But hey, every moment like that builds growth and resilience (for both you and them!).
But first, here's a highlight of 3 things we don't want you to miss...
Awaken Your Inner Hero Challenge 📚
We’re excited to introduce our brand-new Awaken Your Inner Hero 15-Minute a Day Story Challenge! Spend some quality time with your kids by reading an inspiring story and trying out a personal growth activity together from our Hero Handbook. You can easily explore our bundle with specially designed worksheet challenges that follow each of the 43 stories. Try out a sample story and activity today or at bedtime. We’ve even got a book for the adults too, so be sure to check it out. (And yes, that’s Tony Robbins on the cover with us!)
Tony reminds us that the parent-child bond is powerful and crucial for a child's emotional well-being. By doing this challenge, you’re nurturing that bond while also helping your child develop a growth mindset. It’s a fun and effortless way for both you and your child (and students) to work on personal growth together—because growing as individuals can be a shared adventure!
To make it even easier, we encourage you to get the full copies of the Awaken Your Inner Hero 3-book bundle at our introductory price of $33 (reg. $45) right here! You’ll unlock a new story to share daily during your challenge. This journey will elevate your family's overall well-being, helping you all become more aware, believe in yourselves, and discover exciting new possibilities through the inspiring tales of kids just like them.
