76 | Especially Enneagram Series: Special Needs Parenting as an Enneagram 6


We are continuing on with our Especially Enneagram Series with Enneagram 6, the Loyalist!

Navigating the maze of parenting with a special needs child can feel overwhelming, but understanding your Enneagram type can be a beacon of clarity. Join us as Sabrina Thurston, a dedicated special education teacher and Enneagram 6, opens up about her personal experiences raising her nine-year-old son with a speech articulation disorder. Sabrina shares how discovering her Enneagram number has empowered her to manage her anxiety and control needs, providing a lens through which she views her parenting journey and her quest for stability in an unpredictable world.

Organizational chaos can stir anxiety, but finding your unique style can bring peace. In this enlightening episode, we explore the impact of clutter and organizing on daily life. Hear firsthand strategies for harmonizing a household where perceptions of clutter differ, especially during seasonal routine changes. From using clear storage bins to effectively managing educational materials in small spaces, Sabrina and I uncover practical tips that ease stress and create a harmonious living environment, tailored to individual preferences.

Sabrina Thurstin is a special educator, turned homeschool mom.  She has a wonderful husband and an amazingly smart, caring and compassionate son, who just so happens to have the gift that is an Auditory Processing Disorder, also known as APD. Over the years she has worked with families and children to advocate for their needs in school settings as they navigate through what is our special education system. Being a mom and educator are some of her greatest accomplishments in life and she couldn't see herself doing anything else.

Hey! Are you a parent of a loved one with a disability? Have you ever wanted to be on a podcast? Then I want to hear from you! Literally! Send me an audio message that I can include in an upcoming special episode.

Just ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to be directed to a website where you can record your response to the following question:

If you could go back in time to when your child was first diagnosed with a disability, what would you tell yourself?

I would LOVE to hear from you!!

And finally, if you have been wondering how long you need to keep certain documents, whether its a utility bill, and IEP, medical records, or an insurance policy, I have a quick and accessible one-page document for you to download that shares exactly how long you should be holding on to these items and when you can let them go (e.g. shred and/or recycle.)

⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get on my email list and I will send this handy doc straight to your inbox.

And I promise I won't start bombarding your inbox with emails -- that is not my style! I just want to be able to stay in touch and keep you informed occasionally of resources to help you reclaim whatever it is YOU need!


Happy Organizing!
