ADHD Parenting: From Misunderstanding to Empathy

In this episode, Shauna and I dive deep into the complexities of parenting a child with ADHD, shedding light on the importance of empathy, understanding, and personal growth. Shauna shares her invaluable perspective on the need for self-care in showing up as the best for our children. We tackled the tough conversations around behavior, school systems, and the slow but rewarding process of cultivating positive change. 

Shauna is a single mom of 3 beautiful kids, a life coach for moms, and an IR Technologist.  She is an adventure seeker with hiking, traveling and exploring new places along with making memories with her family and friends.  She loves helping others and believes that working towards being our best selves, filling ourselves up first and leading by example is the light that starts that ripple effect to others, especially our kiddos.
