When parenting a child with ADHD or anxiety, the emotional rollercoaster can feel unrelenting and the mom guilt? Overwhelming!
In this episode, I'm joined by Dana Baker, ADHD and anxiety parenting coach, speaker, and mom who's lived this journey firsthand. Dana opens up about her own parenting story, how she learned to trust her instincts, and what finally helped her advocate for her daughter in a world that said, "She's fine."
We talk about how to recognize your child's triggers, why adjusting expectations is essential, and how validation, not perfection, is key to connection. Dana shares actionable tools for handling emotional outbursts, increasing resilience, and building emotional awareness without losing yourself in the process.
Whether your child has a diagnosis or you just feel like you're constantly walking on eggshells, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and better equipped to parent with clarity and compassion.
