founder's bookshelf

Over the years, I’ve collected these books (and more) as part of my own journey. Some I discovered on my own, some were recommended by professionals, and others were shared by fellow parents in the trenches. I’ll be the first to admit: I haven’t read every single one cover to cover, but each title has offered something meaningful — a new insight, a shift in perspective, or simply the comfort of knowing I’m not alone.

This bookshelf isn’t a list of “shoulds,” and it’s not medical or parenting advice — it’s a collection of perspectives and tools that helped me ask better questions and make more informed choices for my own family.

a Personal Note

PLEASE KNOW:  You’ll see affiliate links for titles throughout this section, which means Life on the A List may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase through the link — at no additional cost to you. None of these titles are sponsored placements or ads; they are titles that were purchased by me or shared with me by trusted professionals and fellow parents over the years.

When you shop this bookshelf, you’re supporting a space built on shared experience, not perfection, and your support helps us do more. 💛
