Life can be chaotic - misplacing car keys, scrambling to make lunch, coping with chronic pain. But what if you can manage all these stressors and emerge with resilience, a sense of humor, and a fresh perspective? Join me as we journey with our guest who shares her personal experiences and strategies for managing life's complexities. 

Our conversation begins with simple and effective techniques to streamline your morning routine. Imagine starting your day in control, with less stress and more time for what matters most. Our guest opens up about her innovative ways of tackling her morning hurdles - from the strategic placement of car keys to making lunches the night before. We also explore the challenges of parenting with special needs and how boosting self-awareness can help manage the chaos of family life. 

We then shift gears to a more serious topic - living with chronic pain. We discuss the importance of validation, sharing suffering, and the need for strategic pain management. Our guest candidly shares how she navigates daily tasks, the emotional toll of chronic pain, and unique coping mechanisms such as using humor as a distraction. We round off with an inspiring tale of resilience and bravery in the face of adversity, as our guest shares the story of her daughter, Faith. We also get a sneak peek into her uplifting book, 'Married My Mom, Birth a Dog: How to Be Resilient When Life Sucks.' This episode offers practical advice, valuable insights, and a much-needed dose of positivity. Tune in and equip yourself to navigate the chaos of life with grace and humor.
