This week's guest speaker is Margaret Webb! Join us this Thursday at 8pm EST as Margaret discusses the importance of shifting focus and energy from the child to the self. This shift allowed her to gain perspective and clarity on where her energy and attention were most effective. It helped her recover from the exhaustion of trying to fix and control her autistic son, which was neither necessary nor possible. By approaching situations and feedback with curiosity rather than judgment about her parenting, she created space for moments of ease, joy, and contentment. Margaret will share her top strategies and tools for achieving this balance. See you there!

Sharing my story on the Success is Subjective podcast's Special Parent Series is profoundly personal for me. The episode delves into the deep shame and fear I faced while seeking help for my son and why this journey inspired me to co-found Other Parents Like Me with Casie Fariello. The soundbite below only scratches the surface of what I share in the full episode. I hope you'll listen to understand the raw reality behind these struggles and the drive to make a difference.
