Ep.174 Mama Monday (Part 2): Mom Estelle Emond on Dealing With Clutter, Balancing Everyone's Different Needs, and Practicing "Instant Forgiveness"

44 minutes

"Getting rid of stuff...it was so mind-freeing for all of us."

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with mom Estelle for Part 2 of a two part episode (Listen to Part 1 Here!). She talks about raising multiple ND kids in an "ADHD house" and making it work despite being dismissed by professionals. Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-Living with an older generation that might not understand ND kids
-Trying to remove stimulus in the home to keep overwhelm away
-Resetting expectations around cleaning and organizing
-Understanding her son's executive functioning struggles
-Letting go of resentment between everyone in the family
-Learning to say, "I need a minute"

Please shower Estelle with love and support by SHARING this episode with a mom who needs to hear her story.
