We invite moms, dads and anyone interested in mindful parenting tips to attend our new book launch celebration on August 1st for our second book, “Raising Good Humans Every Day”. – Hunter Clarke-Fields, Mindful Mama Mentor, Bestselling Author and Top Podcast Host

In celebration of her second parenting book, Mindful Mama Mentor Hunter Clarke-Fields announces the “Raising Good Humans Every Day” Book Launch Party will be held August 1, 2023, 6:00-7:30pm EST at Cocoon in New York City (Tribeca) with an author interview, influencers, giveaways and more. As the Bestselling Author of “Raising Good Humans”, Hunter invites moms, dads and anyone interested in mindful parenting tips to attend this new book launch event.

Based on 20 years of experience in meditation and yoga practices, Hunter is a mindful parenting expert, Mindful Mama Podcast Host, global speaker and busy mom, whose goal is “to help parents raise kind, confident and conscientious kids.”

Hunter emphasizes, “Being a parent is a lot of work, but it can also be joyful and fun. Let this new daily guide help you enjoy those little moments – they mean so much!”

The new book “Raising Good Humans Every Day: 50 Simple Ways to Press Pause, Stay Present, and Connect with Your Kids” (New Harbinger Publications, Aug 1, 2023) is different from Hunter’s first parenting guide. It is a much smaller size book that fits in a purse or small bag with bitesize chapters averaging 3-5 pages. Readers will also find short exercises / action items at the end of each of the 50 chapters. And the new book is even more practical for busy parents to read because it can provide a sense of accomplishment and peace-of-mind faster.

NEW BOOK LAUNCH PARTY DETAILS – “Raising Good Humans Every Day”:

This launch party will include a kick-off by parenting influencer MC Dena Faresh (The Mindful Mom Revolution Podcast Host), followed by an interview of Author Hunter Clarke-Fields by Margaret Ables (What Fresh Hell – Laughing in the Face of Motherhood) at Cocoon NYC.

Author Shares her Road Map to Enlightenment and Inner Peace


You’re Not Your Car by Jennifer Merritts, CPC

As a spiritual coach, life coach, and chakra healer, Jennifer Merritts, CPC, has dedicated her life to helping others understand their lives from a greater perspective. She has taken her years of experience and expertise and focused it into her new book, “You’re Not Your Car: A Guide to Finding Peace, Balance, and Understanding Who You Are Beyond Your Physical Body.”

Merritts wants to share fundamental concepts with readers that can be used to live a peaceful and joyful life. She explains soul goals, how to harness creative energy, karma, spirit guides, chakras and more in a way that is designed to be approachable and easy to understand for readers of all ages.

“The book’s title, “You’re Not Your Car,” is an analogy for the human body,” Merritts said. “You are not the car that you drive every day, much like you are not just your body, you are your soul. And similar to driving a car, we are cruising through life in a body with a specific journey in mind. To understand your journey, you must first understand yourself.”

Through her thorough explanations, Merritts wants to help readers learn how to bypass their road blocks, improve their relationships, release feelings of hate, and experience themselves beyond their bodies.

“Spirituality can be complicated,” Merritts said. “You may not understand everything at first, but once you let the information in everything becomes easier to understand. This is the kind of thing that can change someone’s life.”

Theologist Shares Critical Commentary Against Popular Christian Teachings and Purity Culture


Sick of Singleness by Harmony Claire

Author Harmony Claire wants to challenge the popular narrative surrounding singleness as a Christian. In her new book, “Sick of Singleness: A Biblical Guide to Breaking Free and Finding Love,” she utilizes her theological education and experience with prolonged singleness to help readers shed the traditional narratives and experience true connection.

“My love life was ‘stuck on red’ for years,” Claire said. “I had faithfully done whatever popular Christian culture touted as God’s way to do romance. I read the books, made the promises, quoted the mantras, and joined the movements. To my surprise, instead of being promptly paraded down the aisle by white doves praising my faithfulness, I found myself securely stuck at the singleness redlight for nearly a decade.”

Claire not only walks readers through her personal experience, she also provides biblical evidence to help readers take control of their own personal narrative. Many readers may recognize Claire’s references to the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) that was introduced to pop culture via the Dugger family, their series of TV shows and the more recent documentary, “Shiny Happy People.” “Sick of Singleness” acknowledges the influence of IBLP on ministry and how its principles can be credited with helping to trap people in unwanted singleness.

“These ultra-conservative purity culture teachings do more harm than good,” Claire said. “Extrabiblical doctrines have distorted popular Christian culture’s romance narrative. We choose to rely on human leaders to spoon-feed us doctrines, instead of doing the hard work of digging into the scriptures ourselves. We fail to measure their teachings against God’s actual word. Even the most well-intentioned leaders are not without error or above deception.”

Claire wants readers to understand their personal responsibility to challenge faulty theology, and to take initiative to change their lives.

Smile Brands Marketing Team Wins Gold for Direct Mail Design


Direct Mail Design

I’m very proud of the creative efforts of our team.

Smile Brands, one of the nation’s leading dental support organizations (DSO) providing business support services to over 650 affiliated offices across 30 states, congratulates its marketing team for winning a “Gold” Aster Award for excellence in healthcare marketing. The Aster Awards are one of the largest healthcare advertising competitions in the world.

The winning entry was a business-to-consumer direct mail campaign designed to generate engagement from consumers by standing out from other dental office marketing materials. By focusing on a unique design that balances engaging imagery, branding, and a compelling offer, they created a direct mail that generates positive emotion when it arrives in the hands of consumers. “I’m very proud of the creative efforts of our team,” said Bob Connolly, Director of Marketing and Creative for Smile Brands. “In a sea of sameness, our design rose to the top and stands out from the typical dental designs we see in the marketplace.”

The unique design and messaging of the direct mail campaign reminded patients about the importance of dental care. By breaking free from the traditional approach to dental office marketing, the piece was able to capture the attention of potential patients and inspire them to take action. This is especially important post-pandemic because some patients may be overdue for a visit.

About Smile Brands Inc.

Smile Brands, based in Irvine California, is one of the largest providers of dental support services in the United States. The company supports over 650 affiliated practices, with approximately 7,500 team members across 30 states. Smile Brands supports a portfolio of over 75 brands including well-known regional brands: Bright Now! Dental, Castle Dental, Merit Dental, Midwest Dental, Monarch Dental, and Mondovi Dental. The company provides comprehensive business services through exclusive long-term agreements with affiliate dental groups, allowing affiliated practices to spend more time caring for patients and less time on the administrative, marketing, and financial aspects of operating a dental office. The organization receives frequent recognition for its award-winning culture and has been recognized as a Best Place to Work by Glassdoor, Comparably, Stevie® Awards, and more. Smile Brands is a portfolio company of Gryphon Investors, a leading middle-market private equity firm based in San Francisco, California. Visit smilebrands.com for more information.
