This week’s episode is a special one—our January Community Huddle! I sat down with four amazing moms, and together, we unpacked the post-winter break season. Think of it as a virtual coffee chat, full of reflections, laughs, and shared wisdom. ☕

Here’s what we covered:

  • Post-Break Overwhelm: How to recalibrate routines after the holidays when everything feels disorganized.

  • Guilt Around Self-Care: Why it’s so hard to prioritize yourself—and how to give yourself permission to take the breaks you need.

  • The Power of Connection: How finding a community of other moms who “get it” can make a huge difference.

  • Parenting Challenges: From navigating aggressive behaviors to juggling multiple diagnoses, we dove into the real, unfiltered realities of special needs parenting.

  • Strategies for Calm: Including a simple “shaking and dancing” exercise to help process stress in the moment.
