Emanuel Bronner, founder of Dr. Bronner’s, was my grandfather. My family is now in its 5th generation of soapmaking.
I am deeply motivated in my life and writing by the idea of stewardship: taking care of what has been entrusted to me and leaving things better than I found them.
As an avid lifelong reader, I wrote my first book in 2023, Soap & Soul: A Practical Guide to Minding Your Home, Your Body, and Your Spirit with Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps. Part companion guide to using my family’s soaps and part green living how-to with a good dose of stories from my green journey and memories of my grandfather and my whole Bronner family.
I taught high school English and journalism. I still see myself functionally as a teacher.
I’m a married mom of three almost-grown kids, of whom I, at 5’8”, am the second shortest.
Though raised as a city girl in Los Angeles, I embrace my current country life with many good things growing, evening serenades of distant livestock, and gloriously big horizons.
