"It's not about being a perfect parent - it's about being a reflective parent."

About This Episode: It's Mama Monday! This week, I'm talking with mom Hannah. I loved this whole conversation and I know you will too! Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-Learning about yourself as a neurodivergent mom to help understand your child
-How challenging it is to advocate for your child
-Transitions can be so tough - how she handles them
-Repairing with your child (often)
-How therapy (and EMDR) has helped her so much
-How important it is to get alone time, despite how hard it is to make happen
-Figuring out what works for you and applying it to your parenting
