Cari Fund was the good girl. The peacekeeper. The one who was always âfine.â
Then she put that good girl on the autopsy table and wrote the book. We recorded on her launch day to talk about keeping your circle small, writing a book your kids will read, and why lived experience is all the credential you need.
Swipe for three takeaways, then go listen.
Listen now: link in bio.

Another successful Halloween party in the books đ

Welcome to The Stack @cari.fund !!!
Autopsy of a Good Girl:
She was six years old the first time she thought about it.
If both her parents were drowning and she could only save one-which one?
She never decides.
Sheâs the one drowning. Who would save her?
Autopsy of a Good Girl is what happens when a woman finally swims to shore. In this darkly funny and unflinching collection of personal essays, Cari Fund examines the remains of the good girl she was trained to be-the one who scanned every room for danger, kept every secret, protected the people who were supposed to protect her, and learned early that with her mother there was no winning, only guilt. She traces what that training costs across a lifetime-through marriage, motherhood, illness, estrangement, and the work of building a home when the one you came from made love something you had to survive.
Thereâs no ten-step plan, no tidy resolution, no instruction to forgive. What Cari offers instead is rarer: truth. Her truth, told with dark wit-the kind that only comes from someone who has earned the right to laugh at it.
Sheâs not here to save you. Sheâs here to tell you what happened after she stopped waiting to be saved: what it took to tell the truth, break the cycles she inherited, and build a life that finally felt like her own.

Welcome to The Stack, Notice and Do! đŞ

Get cozy with being f*cking annoying.

HAPPY PUB DAY @samkelly_world !!!!!
Lighten your mental load and end mom burnout for good with a new kind of parenting book that teaches your kids to notice what needs to be done at homeâand do itâwithout waiting to be asked.
Youâre sick of the constant push-and-pull to get your kids to clean (which, letâs be real, often ends up with you doing it yourself). With Notice and Do, thereâs a new way. Through accessible but revolutionary techniques, parenting coach Sam Kelly will teach you how to empower your entire family to share the mental load and proactively contribute at home with eight black and white illustrations and 14 photos.
This proven, research-backed method breaks the cycle of burnout and inequitable partnerships, liberating moms from the burden of being the engine that keeps everything running, and sets your kids up to be self-motivated, resilient adults. With Notice and Do, you will learn:
đŞthe easy and effective way to teach kids cleaning skills so they can confidently get stuff done on their own
đŞhow to teach kids to notice what needs to be done, for themselves, as the first step to taking initiative
age-specific scripts to get buy-in and action from toddlers-teens (even the resistant ones!)
đŞhow to show your daughters that shouldering the mental load is not their default setting
đŞhow to show your sons that they are just as capable of being an aware, proactive team player at home
đŞways to work with kids with ADHD and teenagers without yelling, bribes, or constant micromanaging
getting your partner on board so everyone in the family is participating in the invisible labor of managing the home
Say goodbye to the one-mom-show and exhausting chore chart battles and hello to a life-changing whole family team who shares the mental load together and works with you, instead of one that works because of you.

Iâve talked about writing a book for years.
My husband has heard it. My closest friends have heard it. Itâs been one of those dreams that has quietly followed me for a really long time.
So I flew across the country to sit in a room with some of the top publishers, editors, agents and authors in the world and finally start.
And the whole time I kept thinking about little Angelina.
The girl who barely graduated high school and went to beauty school with absolutely no idea how far this industry could take her.
If this book helps one little Gina just starting beauty schoolâŚ
or one woman whoâs been behind the chair for 20 years and is exhausted, burnt out and wondering if this is all there isâŚ
I want her to know:
You are worth more than you think you are.
Your skills can change your life.
Your story matters.
And a little bit of audacity can take you REALLY freaking far. đ
I donât know exactly where this book is going to take me yet.
But I finally started. đ¤
And sometimes thatâs the whole damn thing.

Donât forget to take it all in.

Notice and Do. Sounds simple doesnât it? The act of noticing something needs to be done and thenâŚactually doing it? Itâs probably one of the most important life skills we could possess. But when the ADHD is ADHDing, or the list feels too damn long, the doing can feel infinitely far off in the distance.
Take a moment to step back in time with me. Weâre hopping in our time machine back to the epic year of 1990. While Iâm the youngest of three, by â90, I was the only kid left in the house. Itâs the year my mom brought out the poster board, markers and stickers to begin the era of the chore chart.
It didnât come without wincing and whining, but at this point in my life, it was made very clear that the new black and olive green Airwalk sneakers I was dying for were only going to be acquired from the act of âdoingâ and earning.
Now, my chore chart was mostly centered around room tidying and bathroom cleaning (the part I hated the most), and the only way to even BEGIN to summon the energy to execute these tasks was music. I dropped in the Wilson Phillips CD, and waited for the beat to take me over so I could get the chores done.
The chores were just a necessity. The expectation.
Now, as a parent, I have tried all sorts of things. Lots of charts, the Skylight calendar, rewards systems, you name it. But something has always felt a bit off. Why should I be rewarding for the basic act of helping?
Then I met Sam Kelly. Well, âmetâ is my chosen word. âStalkedâ may be hers.
I came across her @samkelly_world instagram page and my mind was blown. She was teaching a method called Notice and Doâa program where you teach your children about the mental load at home. As inâMom is not responsible for all the thingsâitâs time to be on the family team.
HELL YEAH.
Listen to this weekâs episode to learn more about her process and upcoming book, NOTICE AND DO!

Since so many people refer to their books as a baby, Iâm going to lean into the metaphorâŚ
It is certainly 9+ months to write and edit a great book, just like it is to create life. But when we give birth to our children, we donât walk out of the hospital empty handed and declare âWhelp, that was toughâhope that baby will be okayâ and then continue on with our life.
No! We have to raise the baby!
The same goes for books. The job is JUST beginning when you finish writing itânow itâs time to market that thing! This is part of why I always remind people that to be an author these days is to be an entrepreneur. Thereâs no hiding behind the keyboard and just hoping people will find it. You have to do the work.
Unfortunately, a lot of authors feel deeply uncomfortable promoting their books and, even worse, they donât know where to begin.
Enter: This weekâs podcast guest! Joining me this week on Bound & Determined is Aryn Van Dyke @thebookmarketer of Book Rockstar. Aryn is a book marketing consultant and author coach who has worked on hundreds of book launches, including multiple New York Times bestsellers, spanning across multiple nonfiction genres. After getting her start at HarperCollins, Aryn founded Book Rockstar in 2019 to make book marketing strategy more accessible to all authors.
If even thinking about marketing your book gives you hivesâlisten to this episode.â
If marketing doesnât scare youâtune in to hear whatâs working in the current climate.
