MY STORY

I am an adoptive and step mom to five incredible neuro-diverse kids .  My husband and I were foster parents for over 10 years and it wasn’t until I started fostering that I realized that I had my own insecure attachment and survival patterns that needed healed in order to help my children heal.

I have been where you are…emotionally numb, exhausted, anxious to the point of feeling paralyzed, feeling physically in pain, disconnected and full of self-doubt and struggling to break free from the chains of negativity from my childhood all while trying to be the mom to my kids that I needed growing up. Advocating for my kids in schools, therapies, sports and helping them to navigate a world that is not always inclusive of those who see the world through a different lens.

My journey isn’t over  and there is still healing to be done but now I can recognize my triggers and I have the tools to help me through and I would love to share what I have learned with you!

Stay tuned for more information…I will soon be dedicating an entire podcast episode to my journey.

I Believe!
