Let’s talk about what it means to feel lost. Feeling lost can manifest in many ways—whether it’s a sense of confusion, lack of direction, or just feeling disconnected from your own identity.  As moms, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the responsibilities and demands of daily life, leaving little room for self-reflection or self-care.

It’s important to acknowledge that these feelings are valid and not uncommon. Many moms experience this at some point in their dyslexia parenting journey, and it’s okay to seek support and work through it. Understanding that you’re not alone is the first step towards finding your way back to you!

Harmony is about creating a balanced and integrated life where different aspects of your life—personal, professional, and relational—are aligned and working together.  I hear a lot of people talk about work-life balance, and work-life integration, many buzz phrases leave us feeling pulled in too many directions and never 100% present where we are . . . at home, work, with friends, etc.

Living intentionally means making deliberate choices that reflect your values and long-term goals. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive in your life. When you live intentionally, you’re shaping your life rather than letting circumstances dictate it.

Mel Abraham's book, Building Your Money Machine, inspired this episode.  The book is about financial freedom, but he also shares about living intentionally with harmony which I thought you might also appreciate.

Welcome to Season 5 of the Dyslexia Mom Life Podcast

 We started our dyslexia parenting journey when our daughter was identified with dyslexia in 1st grade - we dove head first into learning all about dyslexia and what remediation looked like for our daughter. Now as the season of dyslexia changes for our family, we are navigating accommodations while challenging her academically through middle and high school.  Like ours, your dyslexia season will change along your parenting journey.  

You are not alone!  I am walking this journey with you.  

Those of you who are new to the podcast, welcome!

I am a mom with a background in education, school counseling, and school law.  The two things I love the most about hosting this podcast are teaching other moms about dyslexia and creating a positive space for moms to connect and share.

I have mnay plans for episodes in Season 5 - subscribe, so you don’t miss an episode.  You got this!
