Words Matter ✨

So often when kids are upset, our natural instinct is to say things like “Calm down” or “You’re fine.” But while well-intentioned, those phrases can feel dismissive and actually shut down communication.

This chart is such a helpful reminder that small shifts in our words can make a BIG difference. Instead of telling kids how they should feel, we can acknowledge what they are feeling, and give them tools to work through it.

Hey Mamas! the kids are back in school… now it’s your turn

Whether your days are now a little quieter or still packed with to do’s, this is your reminder:
You deserve space to take care of YOU.

And to my ADHD and neurodivergent mamas, I see you!
As a mom myself to a high-energy, ADHD kiddo with so many incredible strengths, I know that parenting can feel both beautiful and challenging at times.

In my work (and in my own home), I’ve seen how powerful it is when we learn new ways to support our kids, and how equally important it is to care for our own nervous systems in the process. When we’re regulated, grounded, and resourced, we show up for our children in ways that change the whole atmosphere at home.

If you’re ready to learn tools, tips, and real-life strategies for parenting your neurodivergent child and for taking care of you in the process… I’m here to walk with you.❤️

As a mom and a therapist, I know how easy it is to lose sight of yourself in the beautiful chaos of caring for everyone else. We give and give, until we forget who we are beneath all the roles we carry.

But the truth is… you’re still in there. Worthy. Whole. Enough.
You don’t need to be “fixed” you just need space to return to yourself!

If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or just feeling a little lost, I see you. And I’d be honored to walk with you as you find your way home. 🩷
