Hello and welcome to the podcast. This week's episode is another activation session. I have Laura with me and we're talking about the struggles of shifting out of caregiver and into that mothering role. It is hard to be the caregiver and we often are missing out on the joys and beauties of motherhood. I hope the plan I lay out with Laura can help you switch your mindset too.

Hello and welcome back to the podcast. This week I am sharing another activation session featuring mom, Dominique. She wants to have less anxiety, worry & overwhelm in her daily life and that's where I came in to help her make a plan!  While your story may not be the same as Dominique's, I think the steps I lay out can be beneficial to any special needs mom.

Welcome to the podcast. This episode is about those things we can’t share. The stories that will go untold.  The situations that no one will ever know about. Why? And what options do we have?

Hello and welcome to the podcast. This week, I'm diving deeper into the topic of not being okay, despite people thinking you are. There are many layers to this and a lot of it is work we need to do within ourselves.

Hello and welcome to the podcast. This week we’re talking about the idea of restoration (rehabilitation) versus the recovery.  After we’ve been through some of the big struggles as special needs moms, we often wonder what’s next. How can we heal or recover from this?  Recovery suggests we can get back to how we were before.  Often this isn’t the case. We won’t ever be who we were. This episode explores this concept.
