Hi mommies with 2 or more kiddos! Have you ever thought of these exact words: "I wish I could clone myself?" 🤣 Asking for a friend. LOL! (me 🙋‍♀️)

Have you ever watched a child stand alone while other kids are playing together...and felt your heart sink? 😔 Many kids struggle socially...in school...at family gatherings...or just anywhere with kids and adults... But, what I see is this: most parents of kids who struggle socially enroll them in social skills classes... Or give them vague advice like "just be yourself" and "be kind to others." The problem with this is... Those things teach manners, not understanding. Your child already knows how to be kind. That's not why they're struggling. This leads to your child still getting left out... Still freezing up at lunch... Still coming home confused about why friendships don't click. And where does that leave us...especially ADHD mompreneurs who are trying to manage life, family, and business? Watching helplessly, thinking, "They're such a good kid. Why is this so hard?" ❓❓Why does it truly matter for us, ADHD Mompreneurs? Our kids' challenges affect our nervous system dysregulation --> affects our ADHD symptoms --> affects our businesses. Our personal life is our business. Our business is our personal life. Both interact. It's inevitable. So, after spending decades studying how people think, feel, and respond — grounded in neuroscience, sociology, and philosophy (I'm a sociology major, by the way 😄) — giving a TEDx talk with 101K views, and raising two socially intelligent boys (one with ADHD), here's what I'd do instead: 👉 Teach your child the Social Smarts Lab™ framework. This is because real friendship isn't about being nice; it's about understanding people. 🥰 When kids learn to notice what's happening... Understand why people do what they do... And choose how to respond, everything changes. This leads our children to know when to step in or step back, recognize good friends from bad ones, and actually feel confident (not forced) in social situations. 🥳 I think about it like this: Do I want to keep watching my child come home confused and left out?

Working on an exciting project that will help so many parents of kids ages 8-13 help their child make real friends and feel confident in social situations. And since we're mompreneurs (and dadpreneurs) here...and since our kids' struggles affect how we show up in our businesses...that's why this new project came into being. Another personal project I want to share with you all. Coming soon! Anyone excited?

Hi, my thriving friends! A recent conversation in the community got me thinking… I’ve been noticing something beautiful: 👉 So many of us are intentionally investing time and energy into helping our kids grow—especially soft skills like emotional intelligence (EQ) and social intelligence (SQ). That matters. And it shows how much we care about the kind of humans we’re raising. 🥰 At the same time, it made me pause and reflect…🤔 How do we personally decide where to invest—our kids, ourselves, or both (in different seasons)? And most importantly, the WHY behind our decision. So, I asked ChatGPT that question. 😆 ❓"Why do moms tend to invest in their kids' personal development but not in themselves?" Its responses are reflected in the polls below. Curious, do you agree? Which ones? Comment not from a place of pressure. Not from a “should.” Just honest reflection. No right or wrong answers. You're safe here. 🥰

Hi friends! I have to move the time of our Execution Lab tomorrow (April 10th) to noon CST (instead of 9 am CST). I’m happy to share that Justin is receiving an award from school in the morning for the Character Strength Award! 🥳 He’s being recognized as a leader in JUDGMENT…which they define as “getting as close as possible to the best answer.” He has demonstrated this strength in meaningful ways at school and even at home. For a 6-year-old, I’m often amazed at how he could read the room, understand what someone is feeling (and what he’s feeling at the same time), and try to help in his own way. Like his older brother, he has an old soul in a young body. 😄 We’re soooo proud of him. 🥰 And I can’t wait to cheer for him tomorrow! 💕
