I have 6 kids. I realized I can't, and shouldn't, parent them all the same way.
NEWS | 01 November 2026
I didn't want anyone keeping score — or, more accurately, I didn't want to give them anything to keep score about. The mother raising my youngest has learned things the mother raising my oldest hadn't learned yet. I know this is the right way for me to parentFor a while, parenting my children differently felt like admitting I was inconsistent. My job isn't to make sure all six of my children receive exactly the same childhood; It's to know each of them well enough to give them the childhood they need. After years of trying so hard to be equal, I've finally realized that might be the fairest thing I can do.

I'm a doctor. I ditched traditional health insurance for my family of 4, and I'm not looking back.
NEWS | 01 November 2026
I've spent more than a decade navigating the labyrinth of American healthcare. I took my own family off the gridOnce I saw how much better medicine functioned without traditional insurance interference, I took the ultimate leap. When our first child was born under a supposedly high-end traditional insurance plan, we still walked away owing about $10,000 after paying our insurance premiums. The reality is that for some, traditional insurance has become a barrier to care rather than a bridge. I'm no longer waiting for an insurance company to tell me how to care for my kids or my patients.
