Transcript

Parenting is a tedious, sometimes thankless job. But today, the spotlight is on Moms everywhere. We appreciate you. We see you.

Especially those moms who are supporting and raising a Neurodivergent child. No, there is nothing "wrong" with your child. But, they are a proverbial square peg in a round hole by society's standards, which makes the motherhood journey for these gifted kiddos lonely at times.

Today, I want to share with you part 2 of a "real talk" podcast interview with Sarene Leeds, host of "Emotional Abuse is Real" and freelance copywriter at www.sareneleedswrites.com where she shares her story about parenting a neurodivergent child, striving toward a work - life balance, and some of the changes and challenges they have overcome so far. Enjoy!

Sashya Clark, Parent Coach + Human Design Specialist with Sarene Leeds, Writer and Communications Strategist talk about Parenting a Neurodivergent Child

Human Design for Parents & Kids Podcast

Stop trying to sip from the Human Design Fire Hydrant of T.M.I. and start getting clear, specific, and tailored guidance for YOU, your family, and your circumstances.

Because

You are tired of feeling overwhelmed by all of the Human Design guidance out there on the internet.

You are an amazing parent, yet you know there is more. You just can’t put words to what’s missing.

You don’t want to spend a lifetime getting to know your child, because you want to connect with them better NOW.

The Problem Is

↠ You are too busy being a GREAT PARENT to sort through all of the fluff to find the golden nuggets for yourself

↠ You feel like you are talking in an empty room as your child rolls their eyes and walks away

↠ You feel your child’s growing independence and you want to strengthen your bond in an empowering way

↠ You want to steer away from screeching, preaching, or just losing it, and parent while protecting their self-esteem

↠ You’ve discarded the parenting blueprint you inherited because you intuitively sense there is a better way

How Would It Feel If…

💎 …We understood our children’s inner world, and could speak their language?

💎 …We could minimize the needlessly stressful “extra”?

💎…You had those beautiful cherry-picked bits of insight curated for you?

💎… Communication was effective, efficient, and ❤️ to ❤️?

💎…You were parenting from your center, proactively?

You can uncover the secret code to connecting with your child in an authentic way (without losing the core of who you are).

I Get It. I’m Sashya and I’m a mom, too…(((BIG HUGS)))

I am also a Creative Family Dynamics Expert.

As I held my daughter for the first time, I remember feeling my heart grow three sizes, and suddenly realizing that I would gladly give my life for this tiny little sweet-smelling bundle of brown eyes and coos. I thought I knew what love was before, but, wow, this was amazing.

I soon found out it takes a lot more to live for (and live with!) our children than it does to die for them, LOL!

My mother, of blessed memory, did the best she could, but I always felt there was something missing. I knew I didn’t want to just do the opposite of what my folks did, but I didn’t know what the “center of the road” really looked like, either.

This really hit home for me the year my second son was born – the year my daughter turned 15. My second son metaphorically tossed my parenting books out with the bathwater, and my daughter was inching closer and closer to independence and our relationship was strained. More often than I would have liked, I found myself yelling and breaking down, instead of reaching in, reaching out, and making a strong connection.

But, Baruch Hashem, Human Design Changed All That!

This podcast is dedicated to helping you uncover those juicy truths and apply them to your family today.
