We’re in the garden today, engaging in some self-care and talking about creating balance in your life as a mom. Why the garden, you ask? Because it’s where we relax, unwind, and grow!

Too many moms- especially those raising a child with autism or special needs, put their needs last. This can create an imbalance in your life as well as cause a great deal of pain.  My conversation today is with Kirsten Goffena, a psychotherapist who has learned the lessons of self-care and now teaches it to others.

In this episode you will discover:

• The importance of self-care.
• Kirsten’s “autism mom” experience and how it has changed her.
• How you can take better care of YOU.
• How to join the supportive online community Kirsten has created.
