Kari O’Driscoll’s writing explores the depths of family, personal growth, and adolescence, offering insights through memoirs, essays, and educational guides that inspire reflection and deeper connections.
Learn more about my collection of books exploring the themes of personal growth, family dynamics, and adolescent development.
I collaborate with educators & administrators to develop practices that support students’ success and well-being. I also work with staff across nonprofit, educational, and corporate organizations to build relationship-centered approaches.
In my workshops, I cover a range of important topics like navigating kids and technology, having tough conversations with children, processing grief and rage, and handling life transitions with grace.
It can be really hard to figure out how to have a conversation with your adolescent about stress, anxiety, and depression, but with more and more young people feeling overwhelmed and burned out, it’s important for us to open up those lines of communication. Join us to get some talking points, learn about ways to talk about suicide and mental health challenges, and finding support for your tween/teen and the whole family.

I’m an author, speaker, and the founder of the SELF Project. My work explores the often challenging dynamics of parents and children. My latest book, Truth Has a Different Shape, is a memoir about growing up in the ’70s and ’80s as a caretaker-type in a family torn by divorce and the loss of a child and how that shaped my own parenting, and ultimately my caregiving for my parents in their twilight years.
My work has appeared in a variety of places such as Ms. Magazine, Healthline, and The Seattle Times Education Lab Ignite Storytelling event, as well as several anthologies and other books.
Thanks for visiting my site. I’m driven by the exploration of human connection and how we can better reconnect to ourselves, our families, and our communities. Aside from my books, I hope you’ll check out my blog, and some of my other writing to find more perspectives and tools.
