Free gift from Carisa Cole Sharrett:  A Simple Guide to Knowing Whether I Am Advocating or Complaining

About Carisa:

During the most painful, exhausting, and overwhelming years of my 16-year journey as a mom to a son with disabilities, I discovered all sorts of information and resources to get help for my child. 

However, there was not (and still is not) much out there to support me as a mom. I thought my path with my son would be more of a detour than a whole new journey in our lives. This thinking caused me to focus so much on him and what he needed that I didn’t prepare myself for the journey ahead. My exhaustion turned to burnout, my overwhelm turned to despair, and my fierce focus turned into loneliness as I realized I had depleted myself and become a shell of the passionate, determined woman I once was. Even more frightening was the journey I was on was nowhere close to being “over,” and it was definitely not a “detour.” 

I set out to reconnect with myself to bring healing, purpose, balance, hope, and joy back into my life. I had to learn what worked through trial and error. For many days I didn’t know if I could do it. But with determination and effort, I rediscovered myself and my passions. I learned how to be compassionate and kind to myself to give the same to the people I love. I have embraced a future of possibilities with my hope restored! 

Wouldn’t you like to claim that hope for yourself and discover a way out of the cycle of exhaustion, overwhelm, and loneliness that often comes with caring for a child with disabilities or other special needs? 

Let me help you do that without going through your own trial and error and without spending all the extra time and effort just to figure out what you might need to get there.

Instead, allow me to personally share with you my powerful blueprint for living a life with courage, intention, connection, and hope.

In addition to being a mom to a young man with Autism and Intellectual Disability, Carisa Cole Sharrett:

  • Carisa also holds a current K-12 Special Education teaching certification and served as a lead teacher, trainer, and district case manager for eight years in both the public and charter school systems.
  • I also work privately in a virtual setting with families (Moms, Dads, Parents, Siblings, Grandparents, Extended Family) of children with disabilities or other special needs. I have options for:

    • a single 1-hour session,
    • a package of three 1-hour sessions, or
    • a package of five 1-hour sessions.
    • Together, we will decide what is right for you. As a private client, each session is personalized for you. During your complimentary 30-minute 1:1 Transformation Session, we’ll have a candid conversation where we uncover what is going on in your life that is not working, has you stuck, or is keeping you from living life and getting the desired results.
