AP 355: "How do I balance connecting more with my family and still keep up with my responsibilities?” | Coaching Session with Kelly Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

This week, I am sharing a coaching session I had with a Progressor named Kelly. As a busy mom with ADHD and children across a wide spectrum of ages (and needs!), Kelly found that her desire to connect more with her children was competing with her needs to support them through systems, to-do’s, and routines.

From this call with Kelly, you’ll learn how to weed out the shoulds, get centered in on your wants, and create next steps to deprioritize what doesn’t matter so that you can better cultivate the relationships you want.
