I've been trying to spend intentional time with both of my kids for several months now. Because we've been in "surivival" mode for so long, I just haven't had the energy or patience. Today, I was able to spend time with both of them. I felt calm and at peace. It didn't feel forced and I didn't feel the need to rush it. For the first time in a long time, it felt natural to just "be" with my kids.

About Me
As a post-adoption support specialist, co-founder of The Adoption Connection, Safe and Sound Practitioner, and adult adoptee, I've helped hundreds of families find brain-based solutions to chronic stress and C-PTSD so they can laugh more and yell less.
I'm a mom to six kids by birth and adoption. They've taught me a lot about what creates thriving family relationships…and what doesn't.
