A Free Sample of the ADHD Essentials Parent Groups with Ashleigh, ADHD Mom and Past Group Member

Saturday Sep 04, 2021

Saturday Sep 04, 2021

Today, we’re talking to Ashleigh.  She’s an ADHD mom, and previous member of the ADHD Essentials Parent Coaching Groups.  Ashleigh contacted me a little while ago and said she wanted to help support the groups.

In today’s episode she does just that.  She asks to me about my vision for the parent groups, and tells me about the things got from them.  I share how my background contributes to the parenting philosophy and the skills that I teach during the eight weeks of the parenting groups, Ashleigh shares how meaningful it was for her to connect with other ADHD parents, and some of the lessons she found most important.  This episode is basically a free sample of what goes on in the groups, you get a little bit of the content and, hopefully, a little of the connection as well.  I’m sure you’ll find something valuable in it.  (Like anxiety smiley faces!  Because we talk about those, too!)
