I am excited to bring you into this, the first in a five-part series on really important subject – and a fun one too!
But I don't want to say too much about it. I want you to listen, and see if what you hear resonates.
For this first part though, I do have one question:
What should you be, in a world where you can be anything?
Thank you so much for listening! I am glad you're here <3

"Is this something that I care about, or is this something that someone else thinks I should care about?" – Shari Medini
That's what I almost called today's episode (but used another excellent quote from today's guest for brevity's sake : )
If you want a conversation about handling all the stuff that is flying at you…
If you want to feel better about the choices that you have that maybe you didn't even realize…
You will love this talk with Shari Medini, one half of the duo at Adore Them Parenting! Shari and her cofounder Karissa Tunis have written a great book, Parenting While Working from Home, and offer their help and support to parents from their website.
They brought me into their virtual summit this winter – you can hear the audio from my presentation at the end of today's episode in fact, presenting on a subject that is near and dear to my heart!
I know you're going to love our conversation!

Cheers! And thank you for listening!

Greetings! Yes, on its surface this is a conversation (with 6-time returning champion Janine Halloran! So excited to bring her back to you!) about ADHD.
But it's about so much more.
It's about expectations, and how they create the roles our children inhabit.
It's about us, the roles we inhabit, and how we got here.
It's about what we can do that would be detrimental, or helpful – again, not just with the concerns of ADHD. But with so much more.
I'm excited to welcome you into this conversation, and I'm grateful that you are here!
