If you are a parent who wants to know what your child with autism might be thinking or if you’re someone with autism and you want your parents to know that you’re smart and you’re doing your best and kind of all those thoughts in your head that you haven’t been able to express, then […]
How do you let go of the sadness that your child didn’t have this wonderful childhood experience that you were expecting, and how do you let go of all those feelings around not being the parent that you were dreaming of, the experience that you were expecting? And that’s what this blog post is all […]
Happy New Year. Happy 2021, everyone! Recently, a few clients have asked me, “How are you so light and happy?” So, I just wanted to go over it briefly. It’s been about five years & I didn’t go from frustrated, overwhelmed to happy, joyful & in a gown for no reason. In the video above, […]
