Happy Holidays Everyone!

Parents around the world are constantly searching for guidance to navigate the unpredictable journey of raising children. But what happens when life doesn’t go as planned? When challenges arise—whether it’s a child facing illness, bullying, or academic struggles—how can parents find the strength to remain hopeful? How do they sleep at night, knowing the world can be so uncertain, especially when their children are vulnerable to threats like terrorism or mass shootings in schools? Confronted with these types of difficult issues, it’s often challenging to maintain a positive outlook. We can all feel discouraged when the unknown makes us think, “If things aren’t good today, they won’t get better in the future.”

This is why bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and podcaster Allison Carmen’s new audiobook, Maybe Everything is Okay: A Parent’s Guide to Less Stress and Worry (September 17, 2024; Tantor Audio Original; narrated by Kim Niemi), is both important and timely. It offers parents a powerful and uplifting tool called the “Maybe mindset” to help them navigate the unknown with greater ease and renewed hope.

Whether a child is 2 or 22, or even has children of their own, this audiobook provides parents with a resilient mindset that will support them throughout their child’s entire life journey. Perhaps most importantly, Maybe Everything is Okay also equips parents with the tools to pass this invaluable perspective onto their children, helping them navigate their own challenges with more confidence and hope.

Maybe Everything is Okay is more than just an audiobook—it’s a lifelong companion for parents, offering a mindset that transforms fear into possibility and stress into resilience. Embracing the power of Maybe allows parents to approach each moment with their children with calm and openness, paving the way for a future filled with unexpected joys and opportunities.

Discover how the concept of Maybe can change everything. For your children, and for you, Maybe the best is yet to come!
