Not-Your-Average Book Club

Do you love reading insightful books, but find it tough to put all the great ideas into practice—or even forget them as soon as you close the book?

Then Not-Your-Average Book Club is for you!

In this unique book club, we meet virtually once a week to discuss just 1-2 chapters at a time, giving ourselves the space to truly dive deep into the content.

  • How does this chapter relate to my life, my kids, or my partner?

  • Which strategies or approaches feel like a good fit for my family—and how can I make them work in real life?

  • Is any of this content not applicable to my situation?

  • What challenges or barriers might I face, and how can I overcome them?

Throughout the book series, you’ll have the chance to connect with other parents on a personal level, share ideas and insights, and support one another as we reflect, motivate, and celebrate small wins together.

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.
