For more than 23 years, Petal has leveraged her expertise in education, law, and motherhood (not to mention being a woman of strong convictions!) to bring a distinctive perspective on parenting and child development. As a mother of two daughters in two different generations and with over 20 years of experience as a legal and higher education professional, Petal has learned that parenting is about more than the basics. It’s about recognizing that how we raise our children today will shape the world of tomorrow. When we arm them with the skills and tools that will enable them to become good citizens of the world, we also prepare them to change that world for the better.

Petal and her podcast have been featured in NY Times, GMA, Good Housekeeping, Parents.com, Medium, Madame Noire, CBS, FOX, ABC and many affiliates across the country. She has also interviewed thought-leaders and celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, J.R. Martinez and many more on her parenting show. 

She is enlightening, thoughtful, powerful and truly wants a world where Parenting is not only made easier for children, but made more welcoming and likely for adults. We can all take a deep breathe knowing Petal's advice will guide our nations parents into a world of understanding and impact!
