In this episode I share my highs and lows from a typical day with Charlotte. As a special-needs mom it’s amazing the little things I celebrate sometimes! The simple act of seeing her throw away her own trash can bring me to tears of happiness. Our lows come from moments where I can’t get Charlotte to budge, and she’s so big and strong now that sometimes I am helpless to do anything about it.

I give myself a gold star for climbing my way out of self doubt by the act of journaling. Doubt and fear is often my stumbling block and I need lots of tools to get myself back on track.

I hope you’ll indulge me by letting me read the bit of my favorite book to you. It’s the one I come back to over and over again because it gives me the comfort and familiarity that I crave when I’m feeling lost.

I end with my regular bit of relaxation: Take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, release your tongue from the roof of your mouth, relax your throat. You’ve got this, mama.
