Sit down. Breathe. Let’s talk.
I’m Rae — mama, advocate, porch-sitter, and lover of forward-moving conversation.
Around here, we keep it warm, rooted, and real. We talk about faith. We tell the truth about raising Littles who learn differently. We share resources that help, and we hold space for anyone who’s ready to pull up a chair.
If you’ve just found me, here’s how to get settled in.
Here on the porch, we talk about faith, family, and the Littles who can’t afford to be overlooked. We swap stories, share resources, and look out for each other — because that’s how change really happens.
I’m living mine out loud, hoping it nudges you to do the same.
In my work, I show up for families, leaders, and everyday folks who want to do the same — whether that’s through advocacy, training, or a well-timed word of encouragement.
In my life, I’m just living the story God gave me — one day at a time, with love, faith, and plenty of music playing in the background.
Our family’s journey with autism & dyslexia
Resources you can actually use
Spaces where we learn and grow together
However you show up, there’s a seat for you. Some days it’s quiet reflection, some days it’s shared learning, and some days it’s the work of advocacy — making sure no Little slips through the cracks.
You’ll hear my faith, my family’s story, and the heart I have for helping others live out their own calling. You’ll see resources I’ve created, moments we’ve shared, and lessons we’ve learned along the way.
Here’s what you’ll run into around here:
The Advocacy Chronicles – Our family’s journey with autism and dyslexia.
Porch Lesson – Teaching from the lessons I’ve lived and the gaps I’ve discovered, so fewer Littles fall through them.
Resources – Free tools, guides, and downloads.
Breadcrumbs – Porch notes of my self-discovery — faith, life, and growth in near real time.
Porch Chat – The ongoing conversations we’re having in real time.
It’s all part of one thing: living fully, loving well, and helping others do the same.
Faith is the root of everything I do. It shapes how I show up, how I lead, and the hope I carry into every space.
I stand in the gaps for Littles, making sure needs aren’t missed and showing others how to see them too.
None of us are meant to do this alone. I create spaces where we can learn together, share openly, and show up for each other.
