Not-Your-Average Book Club

Do you love reading parenting, self-help, and neurodiversity-affirming books but find yourself struggling to implement all the great ideas the books have to offer (or just completely forget it the second you put the book down)?

Then this book club is for you!

In “Not-Your-Average Book Club”, we meet virtually once per week to discuss just 1-2 chapters at a time and really dig deep into the content.

How does this chapter relate to my life? My kids? My partner?

Which strategies or approaches seem like a good fit for my family? How can I implement them?

Is any of this content NOT applicable to my situation?

How can I work through the challenges or barriers I foresee?

Get to know the other book club members on a personal level over the course of the book series.

Share ideas and insights as we self-reflect, motivate each other, and celebrate person wins!

Book Club FAQs

Do I need my own copy of the book? Yes! Please acquire your own copy of the book.

How much reading is involved? We are all busy! That’s why we’ll read just 1-3 chapters a week (about 20-30 pages most weeks).

Do I have to speak or share? This is a discussion group, so we hope to hear you share! However, feel free to listen-in on the meetings and share to your level of comfort.

What if I miss a meeting? It happens. You can still read and apply the topic each week then report back at the next meeting that you attend. No refunds for missed sessions.

What is the price? Each series length is tailored to the particular book. Series are typically 7-13 weeks long and break down to $25 per meeting (paid in full).

How often do you run the series? Typically we offer 2 back-to-back book club series in the spring, and one series in the fall.
