Finding Your Pathway

When life overwhelms us, we may try the duck-and-cover route: keep our heads down and muscle through the days. But if we lift our heads just high enough, we may see a lifeline. Coaching can be that lifeline, a process to help you uncover answers that may already reside within you.

As your coach, I will empower you to figure out:

• Your true goals
• What may be getting in your way
• How to develop a plan and put it into action
• Ways to live with grace, optimism and joy.

My purpose as a coach is to be a non-judgmental partner who can help other parents of neurodiverse children face their fears, learn to accept the challenges and the changed expectations that come along with diagnoses and lived experiences, and serve as a sounding board to help you clear obstacles so you move forward and find success.

For the parent of a neurodiverse child, that may mean establishing a balanced life in and out of the home. It may mean quieting the chaos, creating harmony among siblings, or building bridges between spouses or extended family.

I have walked this road, and my own family adventure tells me there is always hope. Though never traveling the typical path, our family is thriving today. My boys can’t wait to spend time together, and each one continues to move forward, constantly learning and growing.

How did we get here? A lot of awareness, a lot of understanding, compassion, and time. Not to mention acceptance. Acceptance of changing expectations, acceptance of a different set of goals and timelines. Above all, a willingness to learn from our mistakes and to remind ourselves and each other: progress, not perfection.

There is a path. And you are not alone. So please, reach out. Life really can be much, much better.
