The story behind

Guilt. Worry. Anxiety. Exhaustion.
These were the words I used to describe my life. My 4 year old, Winston, would move slowly, I’d yell at him to hurry up. He’d have a meltdown over something small, I’d lose patience. Everything I asked of him became a negotiation. I felt like I was failing as a parent. Eventually, the crushing overwhelm was too much, and I knew I needed help. 
My privilege allowed me access to child mental health experts, and I learned some techniques to use with Winston. We got to a (MUCH!) better place.

I was telling my friend and renowned AI expert Mady all about the stress of parenting and we realized that solutions to parenting problems are really hard to access. We knew that all parents want to be intentional caregivers, regain peace at home, and bring out the best in their child. But most parents don’t have expert support or don’t feel their smaller challenges warrant intensive options like in-person family therapy. So we founded Happypillar, to bring the knowledge and expertise of licensed child therapists to parents via the power of language machine learning. Happypillar is here for you. Let’s try this together.
