Hi friend,
Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you're there? Or called your child by the dog's name (again)? Found yourself staring at therapy instructions that suddenly look like a foreign language?
🎧 NEW BONUS PODCAST EPISODE ALERT
In this week's episode, I share research that will hopefully change how you view your cognitive challenges. Those moments of forgetfulness? They're actually your brain reallocating resources to be hypervigilant about your child's needs. That mental fog? It's likely connected to the chronic stress and sleep disruption that often comes as a parent of a child with special needs. That doesn't mean we have to sit in these challenges!
