Sometimes the lessons our children teach us are the ones we need most.

In this heartfelt episode of Real Things Living, host Brigitte Cutshall talks with Sara Hartley ~ healthcare marketing executive, ADHD and neurodiversity coach, and author of the "Purposefully Me" children’s book series.

Sara shares her personal journey of navigating Lyme disease and ADHD while raising a neurodiverse son, and how those experiences led her to create the Align Parenting Method.


3 Key Takeaways:

(1) Echo Parenting: Our children’s challenges can reflect what we need to heal within ourselves.

(2) Mindful Grounding: Simple grounding techniques can bring calm to even the most chaotic moments.

(3) Purposeful Storytelling: Sharing real experiences helps children — and adults — see the beauty in being different.

Listen to discover how self-awareness and compassion can transform how we show up — for ourselves and for our families.
