Why is there a shift in labeling neurodiversity as a disability on social media? What are the potential repercussions of such labeling?

The role moms play in their families is so important - but what happens when Mom gets sick? Whether it's a short term cold, long term pregnancy complications, mental illness, or another difficulty, there is no doubt that the entire family is affected.
In this episode, Emily and interviews Jayne Osborn, blogger and author of the book "When Mommies Get Sick."
Together, they explore not only the challenges face when mom is sick, but also some ways that we can not only survive, but also use the opportunity to build resilience and even connection as a family. Jayne shares insights from her own experience as a mom who spent many years dealing with hyperemesis gravidarum that can be applied to any period of time or season of maternal illness.
While you can’t take “sick leave” from motherhood, there are many ways to help guide children through times and/or seasons of maternal illness. There is great power in accepting what is, and finding ways to connect despite imperfect circumstances. Maternal illness doesn’t have to be a time of guilt and exasperation - even when you’re not at your best, there are new and unique ways to build an even deeper family connection.
Whether you're a mom dealing with illness or a family member supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and strategies for navigating this challenging journey.

Emily shares 13 ways that our imperfections/weaknesses can actually be blessings to us. So often mothers tie their worth to the sum of their perfections. Maybe by focusing on how imperfections can actually bless us, and externalizing them along with our perfections, we can come to love ourselves deeper and truer for who we are, not what we do. ~ ~ ~ Interested in delving deeper?

Emily gets real in sharing some of the greatest challenges she has come up against as a mother, both with foster and biological children.
Motherhood is wonderful but definitely comes with some challenges. We don't need to face them alone! Sometimes we really need someone who "gets" the extreme behavior our children are facing, or help to get through deep burnout and overwhelm. I want to be that support for moms who are right there. This is where Enlightening Motherhood LLC was born. As a compassionate Parent Guide Life Coach, I am here to support other mothers get to the root of the challenges they are facing, one at a time, create better mindsets, and walk away with a realistic, personal and actionable goal. To come to know me and the services I offer better (including pricing), please check out http://enlighteningmotherhood.com and/or email me at enlighteningmotherhood@gmail.com.

Ashley and Emily discuss takeaways, thoughts, and real life examples of Chapters 5-7 of The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. We talk about different ways of handling children's challenging behavior, what it might look like if they are in the heat of the moment versus when we are able to be proactive and talk with them when everyone is calm. Plan B is a newer way to approach solutions for situations where your child might typically exhibit challenging behavior (explosions, fits, meltdowns, hitting, screaming, imploding, running away, etc.), that takes some time, but could be worth the investment in the long run!

Ashley & Emily discuss their takeaways in Chapters 3-4 from Ross Greene's The Explosive Child. Lagging Skills (aka Pathways) are abilities that children don't have (yet) and Unsolved Problems (aka triggers) are scenarios in which challenging behavior is likely to occur. Explosions or other unwanted behavior is often predictable, which makes it solvable! Identifying the lagging skills and triggers - without playing the blaming game or placing guilt - is the first step to solving such behaviors. (We will discuss the resolution in future episodes.) The ASLUP (Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems) form with a list of potential Lagging Skills can be found on Dr. Greene's website at https://livesinthebalance.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/ALSUP-2020.pdf.
