At the moment, many of us are juggling working at home and making sure our kids (and we) get the most out of distance learning - not an easy task! We weren't really prepared for this, and while some adjusted faster, many of us are still trying to find that harmony and balance. 

If you're in the second category, give yourself some grace! Have patience! And, know that there are ways to shift your deeply ingrained habits, little by little. 

In today's episode, we talk with the show's first guest, Jana Parker, about balancing parenting, distance learning, and being a successful professional through this pandemic. Jana is a Licensed Educational Psychologist (LEP), Board Certified School Neuropsychologist (ABSNP), and a certified ADHD Professional (ADHD-CCSP)… She's also a parent. We have a spirited chat about the parents we want to be, the best way to change what we don't like about ourselves, and the consequences of not making those changes.
