Why You Won’t See My Kids on My Website

There’s something I’ve chosen very intentionally in my work and in my life:

You won’t see my children’s faces on my website.

Not because they aren’t a huge part of my world.
Not because I’m hiding them.
But because their childhood is sacred.

And sacred things deserve to be protected.

Their Lives Are Not Content

In a world where it’s become normal to share everything,
where motherhood is often documented in real time,
where moments become posts before they’ve even fully been lived…

I’ve chosen something different.

My children’s lives are not content.
Their memories are not marketing.
Their stories are not mine to share publicly.

They are living, growing, becoming.
And they deserve to do that without an audience.

Childhood Should Be Private, Not Performed

There is something deeply important about being able to grow up
without feeling watched.

To be silly.
To be emotional.
To be messy.
To be fully human.

Without wondering:

“Who is going to see this?”

“Where will this end up?”

“Is this being shared?”

Childhood isn’t meant to be curated.
It’s meant to be lived.

And I want my kids to have the freedom to just be—
without their lives existing online before they can even understand what that means.

Consent Matters—Even Here

In my work, I talk a lot about consent.

Clear, ongoing, fully understood consent.

And the truth is, young children cannot truly consent
to having their image shared online in a lasting, permanent way.

So I make that decision for them now,
in a way that protects them.

And one day, when they’re older,
when they understand what it means to have a digital presence…

They will get to choose.

Not because it was already chosen for them, but because it’s theirs to decide.

You’ll Still Feel Them Here

Even though you won’t see their faces,
they are woven into everything I create.

In the way I speak about slowing down.
In the way I teach emotional awareness.
In the way I hold space for families.

They are in the bedtime laughter.
The quiet moments.
The chaos and the softness.

They are here, just not on display.

This Is My Way of Protecting What Matters Most

There are many ways to be a mother.
Many ways to run a business.
Many ways to show up online.

This is mine.

A quieter way.
A more protected way.
A way that honors both my work and my children’s right to grow up without being seen by the world.

And Maybe This Is Your Permission, Too

If you’ve ever felt unsure about sharing your children online…
If part of you has hesitated…
If something in you has whispered, “maybe not everything needs to be shared”…

You’re allowed to listen to that.

You’re allowed to choose privacy.
You’re allowed to protect what feels sacred.
You’re allowed to keep parts of your life just for you—and for them.

Because not everything meaningful needs to be visible
to be real.

And not everything beautiful
needs to be shared
to be enough.

Be Well,

Becky

In a world where sharing children online has become common, many parents are beginning to question digital boundaries, consent, and privacy. This is my personal approach to protecting my children’s privacy online and honoring their right to choose their own digital presence when they are older.
