Welcome to our little
corner of the internet

We’re Kara and Jason Lackey—two people who couldn’t be more different if we tried (which makes marriage fun an adventure - HA!).

For 16 years now, we've been learning to embrace our differences, in order to build a strong marriage and foundation in our family. 

For 14 years now, we've been figuring out how to parent four wildly different kids!

Know & Love grew from these challenges and our desire to understand one another and build meaningfully connected relationships.

Today, we use our strengths, passions and differences to develop creative (and
FUN!) resources that educators, therapists, and parents (from all over the globe!) use to better understand the kids in their lives. 

It's a rad gig and we love it. 

We wholeheartedly believe that by understanding personalities (especially our kids'!), and how they experience the world and process their emotions, we can tailor our approach to meet their specific needs, fostering a stronger connection within the relationship.

This is what allows our children to feel 
known, loved, and understood.

Our mission is to provide a unique bridge between educators, parents, and students that extends beyond the classroom. While our focus is on kids, we recognize that supporting and empowering them means also supporting school staff, caregivers, families, and the community as a whole.


...because when one thrives, we all thrive.

We like Dr. Dan Siegel's definition:

The biologically based tendencies or traits that influence how individuals experience and respond to the world around them.

These traits are present from birth and shape a person's emotional reactivity, energy levels, and ways of interacting with others.

personality = 

Social vs. Solo

Solo Retreats

Wants to invite 20 people over for dinner...on a Tuesday for tacos. 

Planning vs
Winging

Loves a color-coded
to-do list for every area of life. 

Talking vs. 
Thinking

Wants to talk it out immediately, preferably with bullet points and have a solution by dinner.

Kara

Jason

An Elephant

A Meerkat

Wants to hide in the bathroom to avoid small talk and come out when all the people are gone. 

Needs 3 days to process every emotion, analyze all possible outcomes, and write an imaginary screenplay about it before he’s ready to talk.

Writes ‘make a to-do list’ on a scrap of paper, loses it, decides to wing it, but then gets distracted.
