69 | Especially Enneagram Series: Special Needs Parenting as an Enneagram 8
How does your personality shape your approach to parenting, especially when supporting children with special needs? That is the question we will be exploring for this series, which we kick off today with the big energy of the Enneagram 8!
This episode features an enlightening conversation with Stefanie Ferris, a seasoned podcaster and mother of three boys, two of whom have ADHD and sensory processing disorders. Stefanie shares her unique perspective as an Enneagram 8, highlighting how her natural leadership qualities help her manage the chaos of a bustling household while addressing the mental health needs of her children. We dive deep into the complexities of parenting children with ADHD, covering everything from diagnoses to managing anxiety and the importance of a clutter-free home for mental clarity.
Maintaining a clutter-free home and managing family anxiety are also at the forefront of our conversation. We discuss the psychological benefits of minimalism, strategies for teaching kids to respect shared spaces, and the importance of self-care for parents. Stefanie's insights into the dynamic energy of Enneagram 8s in special needs parenting offer a powerful reminder of the importance of balance, empathy, and finding trusted support systems. Tune in for a wealth of valuable tips and heartfelt stories that will resonate with any parent navigating the complexities of raising children with special needs.
Stefanie is an actress, marketer, business owner, and a storyteller. She has been married to Casey Phariss for 21 years and together they have three boys, ages 14, 11, and 9. Her household is full of chaos and Stefanie believes she is just one bin away from solving all her problems and staying organized.
