The Yes Collective was born over a decade ago when we had our first big Yes Moment. Our then four-year-old son Max had an MRI that showed a huge mass in his brain. The next day he had a surgery that confirmed that he would be fighting this disease for the rest of his life. A week later, still in the ICU, we had both exhausted our tears and we knew that we were at a crossroads as a family. We promised each other that we would do whatever it takes to thrive together, as a family, in the face of every challenge that comes our way. This was our first Yes Moment.
Our mission at the Yes Collective is to support all parents through their Yes Moments – those times when we’re overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted but we say Yes to growing however we need to for the sake of our family.
To learn more about our story and how it started with our childhood cancer nonprofit MaxLove Project, go here.
Our vision: Revenue from the Family Thrive will fund 100% of the overhead at MaxLove Project, which helps families thrive in the face of a cancer diagnosis.
Through our decade-long work in pediatric healthcare, we've collected a giant stash of expert knowledge around parenting, mental and emotional health, holistic wellness, growing a family, and thriving under the toughest of conditions. Whatever the challenge, there’s a pretty good chance we know an expert who can help, like, really help. Below are just a few of the experts we are super excited for you to get to know.
