Tea Tawk with Tara

You are aloud to set boundaries that work for your family dynamics. In fact, I encourage it!

In this episode, I dive a bit deeper into some of our family boundaries, giving yourself a permission slip to say NO and how to help others understand that your boundaries are non negotiable. They are an act of self care.

Also in this episode: I put it on a shirt!

I began designing Tees, Sweatshirts and Hoodies this year and it’s been so much fun! If you need this reminder, this Tee is for you.

Permission Slip to say NO, is now available on v-neck Tee🤗

Parenting is hard! In today’s episode, I talk about the invisible mental load on this journey of neurodivergent parenting. I need naps. Period. 👍

We wear so many hats and it becomes even more when we add in planning to go out and being out! There is so much we do behind the scenes that the world doesn’t see. Just to be out in the world, keep everyone safe and hopefully and magically… prevent a meltdown, Dysregulation , overstimulation and create a positive experience… all while keeping ourselves in check and taken care of.

Wear the conversation 😊🙋‍♀️

It can all be a little too much sometimes and we need to take care of our energy first.
