Exciting News! My NY1 Feature & A Special Reflection
A Milestone Moment on NY1
I’m thrilled to share that I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Stephanie Simon on NY1 this weekend! This segment was a true pinch-me moment—reflecting on my almost 25-year journey with BOY MEETS GIRL®, my book Embracing the Calm in the Chaos, and the initiatives we’ve built to give back.
What made this moment even more special? Having my son and sister join me on set! Seeing my son capture behind-the-scenes footage reminded me just how fast time flies. These are the moments I talk about in my book—the ones where you stop, take it all in, and give yourself a pat on the back.
Building a brand, writing a book, and creating meaningful programs isn’t easy—but when you love what you do, the hard work is always worth it.
I’m so grateful for all of you who have supported me along the way. If you missed the segment, you can catch the full interview here and I have included the link when you click on the images too.
Thank you for being part of this journey!

A few highlights from the segment:
✨ Some of the BOY MEETS GIRL® pieces featured on air ( click on the image they link to the products)
✨ A special necklace I wore that holds deep personal meaning & where you can purchase it.
This pendant was made by my son, Dylan. Just like his mama, he’s starting a business at the age of 10! My first business began around the same age—selling charm necklaces that my mom brought back from Taiwan, where she was producing her lumbar supports (more about this in my book). I would photograph the charms with a Polaroid camera, create little catalogs, and sell them to my classmates.
Dylan is following in my footsteps, but with the power of technology, he can share his creations far beyond the classroom. He has named his company #1MOM and is donating 10% of sales to Hilarity for Charity (HFC)—a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families impacted by Alzheimer’s, activating young advocates, and leading brain health research and education. I’m so proud of him. Check out the necklace which we are currently selling on Poshmark until he is set up with his own shop : )
