When it comes to going back to school, there are so many moving pieces—you honestly deserve an award for all the effort it takes to prepare your kids!

You know you're spreading yourself thin, burning the candle at both ends trying to meet all the demands. You can feel the personal cost: lack of sleep, health issues, and an inability to rest. What if your overfunctioning is also negatively impacting your family? This may be the message you need to allow yourself to slow down and make the changes you've been secretly contemplating.

For years, I was frustrated, always being a reactive wife and mom, responding to seemingly unending problems instead of planning and living proactively. This led to feeling overwhelmed as I tried to understand Autism and ADHD characteristics impacting my family. If you feel the same way, join me in this last Planning Series chat. I share how I use my planning system to make a small proactive step each week, and I hope this episode inspires you in your important roles.

As a mom in a neurodiverse family, I've often felt the weight of my own health slowly slipping away. The complexities and challenges we face can make it seem impossible to prioritize our well-being. I want you to know that you're not alone in this struggle. By sharing my own experiences, I hope to inspire and support you on your journey to reclaiming your health and finding balance in the midst of it all.

If you feel numb, overwhelmed by life this episode has hope and ideas for you as we jump into the second episode in our Planning Series.

For years, I believed that if I tried harder, stayed up later, and created the perfect environment for my family, the challenges of autism would lessen. However, when I shifted my perspective, I began to see meaningful changes in my life—and eventually, in our entire family. If you find yourself feeling trapped in a no-win situation, this Planning Series is designed for you. You are not in this alone friend.
