"I've had a whole parenting life of doing it all by myself."  Today's episode is with my good friend Stephanie, who has been with me in Mothers Together since (almost) Day 1! Don't miss it!

**Trigger Warning: Talk of suicidal ideations at the 45:00 mark**

In this episode, we talk about:

  • When giftedness shows itself in preschool
  • Why it's frustrating when educators can't share if they feel a diagnosis is present
  • When your partner doesn't think there's anything wrong
  • What the motherhood load looks like when a marriage is breaking
  • The challenges of finding the right school for a gifted child with ADHD
  • Where ADHD, OCD, and depression overlap
  • When your ND kid is old enough to refuse medication
  • When your child's baseline for what's okay doesn't match yours
  • When you're the one who picks up all the pieces, all the time.
