Every mom wants to be a good mom but how many times a day do we question this?! We have been conditioned to believe that there are rules for being a good mom but I say your definition is the only one that matters. As a mom with four kids with neurodiversity and a background in education, I believe every child has gifts and talents of genius.

Get the go ahead to have way more fun without guilt, hear new perspectives on old problems, and finally feel like you know what you’re doing as a mom.
