About me

Hello, I am Nerma, welcome to my blog. Here is the place where I share my thoughts and notes about respectful parenting and personal development, as well as some other topics I find interesting and worth sharing. My mission is to re-think parenting and empower parents to be the best possible version of themselves, and for those who are on a hunt for some non-parenting related topics such as food, travel, mental health and lifestyle, I will be sharing some of my ideas here. Please join me on my social media accounts so that we can get in touch with each other, and share useful and empowering ideas and knowledge.
