Greetings! Welcome to this first installment in my series on ADHD <3
I am honored and thrilled to bring you this conversation with pediatric occupational therapist – and mom of toddlers – Holly Peretz!
As you'll hear in our conversation, Holly knows lots about the challenges of raising young children.
In fact she's built an entire virtual summit around addressing these challenges, and thriving (both you, and your kids thriving, I mean.)
Click here to sign up for Holly's upcoming, amazing Toddler Play Conference – I am a speaker once again and so excited to be a part of this conference!
In today's conversation, Holly shares her knowledge of ADD and ADHD. Specifically we discuss how to know if your child has one of these neurodiversities, what to do around this whole subject that is helpful, and what to avoid doing.
Key links below – hope you enjoy this episode of We Turned Out Okay!

There is no manual for emerging from a pandemic, just as there is none for living through one.
So my private coaching client Kate's questions might be very familiar to you:
– "Am I being selfish?" (To send her child to in-person school, or summer camp.)
– How do we keep "the comfort of closeness" we've had during all this, but still foster a kid's independence?
– What about kids' physical safety – when they are not right next to us, when they are off doing normal childhood things (like school or summer camp)?
This is usually an off week for the podcast, but in speaking with Kate, the concerns she brought up and the stuff she is dealing with felt extremely relevant to what you are likely experiencing right now.
If you, like Kate – like me – are wondering about any of this, you are going to LOVE this episode.

For this episode my guest, Julie Lythcott-Haims, wanted to be sure to let you all know: "this is not a show about parenting!"
This one's about us, the grown-ups.
Our lives, our choices, our challenges.
Julie was Dean of Freshman at Stanford University for a decade, and in that time she helped the young adults who arrived at college become true grown-ups. She also learned a lot!
In truth, Julie has learned a lot over her whole life. She is the New York Times best-selling author of How to Raise an Adult and one of my all-time favorite books ever, Real American (which chronicles her experience growing up Black and biracial in affluent circumstances in the United States.)
Julie's latest book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult shares lots of her own stories as well as the stories of many other people, their challenges, and how they handled them. It's storytelling plus self-help with a beautiful result!
Put it this way: I've been an adult for a lot of years and I learned so much from this beautiful book.
I am OVER the MOON to bring you this awesome woman's ideas on how to handle the challenges that life sends your way.
Join us for a fast-moving, fun, and educational conversation [with swears! Be sure to listen away from littles, or other sensitive ears.]
There are all kinds of links just below, including to Julie's books, the two upcoming free virtual summits I'm speaking in… and info on how you can be invited to my birthday party, coming up on April 19th!
