Let's wrap up our Fall series talking about how we can come up against "scary feelings" with intention and take the scary right out of them with a purposeful plan to respond!

In this episode, you will meet, Neurodivergent Life Coach, Sara Hartley from Colorado. She and her son are also on an ADHD adventure, just like you and I are! Sara is not only a coach, but also the author of a brand new series of books called, "The Purposefully Me Series," which are social-emotionally themed stories that speak to your heart and mind! Sara will also share with us the ALIGN method she teaches parents to help us find our calm too!

Aware- Self-awareness is always our first step

Listen /label- Stay curious

Identify- Name the feeling/experience

Grounding techniques- Practice techniques that will calm that mind and nervous system

Nurture- Self-love and compassion in hard moments

Sara dives deeper into each of these 6 steps to better responding to our own scary feelings so we can come alongside our kiddos as we model responding to their feelings too!
