“I’ve tried everything!”
When you’re dealing with a particularly frustrating problem that’s gone on for years, like parenting your exasperating child, looking for relief from a chronic health issue, or advocating for your child struggling at school, you start to run out of energy AND optimism.
When you’ve got a situation that feels hopeless…
When you’ve run out of ideas…
When you’ve looked under every rock and barked up every tree…
Should you just give up?
Sigh.
Except you REALLY want to find a solution. You’re not ready to give up on your kid, your health, the things that truly matter to you.
What’s a mom to do?
My kindergartener surprised me with his fresh take on counting last week, and it made me think twice about how I look at the same-old-same-old.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing five valuable ways to find a fresh perspective when you feel overwhelmed or stuck. Let’s look outside the box and past the same advice you’ve heard 37 times to find what you actually need or could use.
These are the kinds of problems that are worth another go. You’re worth it, too.

After our first session together, you’ll know how to stay cool when your Uncle Roger starts with his political BS at the next holiday party. It won’t ruin the day for you.

The group starts in 2024, so put your name on the waitlist now to get signup details, so you’ll know that after the holidays are over and the kids are back in school, you are ready to get your life together and your emotions in control.
