The ADHD Mama

In this week's podcast I share my heart, soul and vision for my work in 2019. I share with you how I will be able to support your journey wherever you are in the world, and wherever you are in your journey.

I have some deep, spiritual work that I am slowly moving in to, and my ADHD is a HUGE part of that. For me, this type of brain has given me gifts that I have finally been able to unwrap. This was only possible once I allowed myself to be 'disassociated' from the label. We are so much more than labels. We all have unique abilities, gifts and strengths that aren't always being birthed into the world, when we are trying so hold to fit into he mold!

I've had so many teenagers and young adults reach out to me, and I also feel called to hold space for dads. There will be some much needed work coming your way this year for children, parents, dads and young people trying to navigate themselves on this path.

Let's do this! Let's raise hearts, souls and vibes!

Love & light

Interview with sleep trainer, Donna Moala

Donna Moala is a mother of 3 beautiful girls. She's extremely passionate about saving families sleep and empowering Mums and Dads to regain their own sleep and take back control.

Sleep is such an important necessity for everyone to be able to lead happy, healthy lives. Sleep deprivation can be used as a form of torture!!! Sleep is a biological need. On reflection of my her journey into motherhood she realised that the most incredibly wonderful, but as equally challenging time in a woman’s life, can be becoming a mother for the first time. Throw in sleepless nights and a unsettled baby and you can end up with a very unhappy, distressed and overtired family.

She searched the world to find the best GENTLE sleep method and now uses the solution to get children to sleep, specifically tailored to each individual child and family.

The Truth About ADHD https://www.phantomadhd.com/truth?affiliate_id=1371475

In this weeks' episode, I interview Peter Shankman, who has been someone that I has inspired me on this journey as an ADHD mama!

Peter is a spectacular example of what happens when you find the best traits of ADHD and work really hard to make them benefit you.

Diagnosed at seven years old with "sit down, you're disrupting the class" disease, Peter wasn't formally diagnosed with ADHD until his mid-30s. By that time, however, he'd started and sold two companies, and realized that all the differences that formerly labeled him as a troublemaker were actually his greatest assets. After Peter sold his third company, (Help a Reporter Out,) he decided to focus on really understanding this "faster brain" of his, and learning exactly what it could do. From that, the Faster Than Normal podcast and bestselling book were born.

Peter believes that everyone has gifts, potential, and abilities far beyond what society has deemed "normal," and strives to help bring those gifts to life in as many people as he can through his podcast, books, online videos, and countless worldwide speaking appearances.

He is a true legend and is changing the conversation around ADHD. As Peter says in how own words; 'ADHD is a gift, not a curse'!

In this week's podcast, Jaime Roche shares with us how she's learned to help her son reach his potential and discover his superpowers.

Jaime began her career in the field of mental health after obtaining her Masters degree in Social Work. Her passion for helping special-needs children and their families led her to work in both public and private school settings, various mental health organizations and eventually to begin her own private psychotherapy practice.

Jaimie has devoted her work to treating children, teens and young adults with a wide array of mental health conditions such as ADHD, Aspergers, Anxiety & Mood Disorders and High Functioning Autism.

Jaimie is a Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and

a Certified Parent and Educator Coach for Tournesol Kids, a non-profit organization that strives to bring embodied literacy into schools and local communities by teaching holistic development strategies to children, parents and educators.

Her mission is to support, educate and empower special-needs children, their families and their communities.

Hello!

In this week's podcast, I bring you 11 years of parenting our incredible wild child - condensed into a 30-min podcast! This podcast is straight from the heart, brutally honest and shares how we went from a sinking ship to Seren thriving at home and at school.

Yesterday as I read Seren's school report; I cried. I couldn't believe the difference from her reports over the last few years. Competent in every subject, some subjects excelling! The subjects that Seren excels in are Arts, Dance, Drama, Media Arts & Music. This doesn't surprise me at all; this girl hasn't stopped dancing since she was in the womb! Art is her happy place and her dramatic meltdowns could win this kid an Oscar!

Seren's also an acrobat, a gymnast and a self-taught contortionist. My dad always said to me "Susy, not every kid is good at maths and English and that's ok".

Some children are destined for greatness, and that doesn't always mean academics! The more we realise this as parents and teachers, the more pressure that we can stop imposing on these incredible children!

Seren's dream is that she'll be a famous contortionist and travel the world. My dream for her is that she's happy and if that brings her happiness, then I am with her 100%.

In this podcast, I share my heart, my advice and my passion for helping you to tap into your inert wisdom and intuition. The answers don't always come from the experts. Often, the answers you seek are in the hearts and souls of you and your child. The only way you will discover this wisdom is by surrendering. Understanding that there is a power far greater than us, and having a deep knowing that your child is here to teach you something.

With love & light

This week I interviewed Jennifer Kozek, mum, best-selling author, psychotherapist and a woman on a mission to educate and inspire others about managing ADHD & Autism naturally.

I absolutely loved this interview! Most of it was either spent with my mouth wide open, goosebumps all over me, or me silently fist pumping the air!

I loved Jennifer's honesty and how she makes no apologies for her issues and concerns with the medical world. Jennifer feels that the experts aren't treating the underlying issues in our children, but simply masking the symptoms with medication.

Jennifer holds no bars and has a passion and a true desire to help others. You can connect with Jennifer on Facebook and Instagram 'healing without hurting' or check out her website where you can learn more about her best-selling book; healing without hurting.
