Why we’re here
My Mama Says was founded by Nadine Levitt—author, educator, and tech entrepreneur—out of a simple, powerful truth: emotional intelligence is the most underrated foundation for a happy, successful life.
What we believe in

🏫 Educator & community trusted
With free school curriculum rollouts and workshops across the U.S., hundreds of educators have integrated My Mama Says into classrooms and homes.
