The song takes me back to the years my tweens and I spent watching Stranger Things together — a tradition that bonded us as they grew up and became young adults. It also echoes a theme from our homeschooling years: when things felt tough, we reminded ourselves, “If I only could… I can, and I will.” That same encouragement carried me into choreographing dances and writing my book, even when I doubted I knew enough. This dance is a reminder not to quit — whether in motherhood, creativity, or anything worth doing.
