Lunch & Learn: Mattering in our Modern World

January 09, 2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EST

Do you feel like you matter? Does your child?

Mattering is a basic human need—for kids, parents, and all of us.

As the village has faded, parents are carrying more alone.


And in a culture of social media, metrics, and achievement, many of us: kids and parents alike, unknowingly tie our worth to performance and visibility. This leaves us, and especially our kids, vulnerable to fragile self-worth, anxiety, loneliness, and the feeling that we’re only as valuable as what others notice.

Because:
✨  Being seen isn’t the same as being valued.
 ✨ Kids can’t feel like they matter if their parents don’t either.

But mattering can be built: through connection, shared responsibility, and real belonging. Join us to discuss how!
