“Taking care of your mental health is not selfish. A healthy mom is a great gift to a child”- Unknown. Parenting a child with high demands can wreak havoc on your brain and your soul if you, the parent, do not prioritize your mental health and focus on the joy. But who has time for that? And how can you find joy when the stress and demands of raising a high needs child is unbearable? Today’s episode will give you practical tools to support your mental health while once again finding the joy in parenting and life.

Can’t you just sit still !?! How many times has your child heard this? This episode shares a must-have tool for those kids who are in need of movement to support their focus and concentration without creating a ruckus in the classroom. I speak to a mom, Jodi Whalen, who took her child’s need for ‘extra support’ and turned it into a practical must-have tool for kids both in school and at home.

Did your child just join the millions diagnosed with ADHD? (Why are there so many?) Do you KNOW your child is healthy but wish you had more tools (other than stimulant drugs) to help her succeed? Do you find yourself frequently exploding with frustration at your child and his difficult behavior?Then listen in to today’s chat with Aviagail Gimple author of HyperHealing a complete ADHD coaching program and parenting guide in one book.

Today's guest Shawna Hughes, Nutritionist and momma to ADHD kids, understands these frustrations on a personal level. This personal struggle supported Shawna's desire to learn about ADHD from the core of a person, the gut.

In this episode, Shawna shares top dietary triggers for the ADHD child, how to incorporate dietary changes that will stick beyond a few days without turning your child's life upside down, as well as alternative choices to traditional foods.

As a mother to a highly sensitive little boy, I know what it means to parent a child who does not fit into the ‘box’ modern society has put children into. My mission is to help other parents of “that kid” feel less alone, more confident and more equipped by asking the tough questions to the professionals, gathering tools and resources and connecting with other moms who are wrestling with the same struggles. If recording my journey as I seek a clear starting point, community and effort to normalize a life with a highly emotional, sometimes out of control child, supports at least one parent, then my time is not wasted. And if it doesn’t well, there’s documented proof that moms deserve a glass of wine. Cheers Thanks for listening! It means so much to us that you listened to our podcast!

She teaches many skills such as meditation, visualization, power shifting, and positive self-talk. Sharon has a Bachelor's in Psychology, a Masters in Education and she is Wisdom Coach certified through Adventures in Wisdom. Along with life coaching, she also teaches science part-time at Kirby Hall School. She loves science and spirituality and finds great joy in connecting the two in her coaching sessions.
