This week has been a really good one for Maverick! I’m so excited to share the progress we’ve seen. One of the things that stood out to me was how much more eye contact he’s been making lately. It’s such a simple thing, but to see him looking at us more, engaging with us more—it…
So, let’s backtrack a little. Last week, we received Maverick’s official diagnosis three days before turning 2: Level 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder. It was such a relief. I was worried because Maverick’s interaction with the specialist wasn’t how he normally is. He is usually bouncing off the walls and very unregulated in sensory and emotions….
I feel the need to share this because I know I’m not alone. I know I’m not the only parent who has walked this path and faced not just the challenges of raising a neurodivergent child—but also the unexpected struggles caused by the very people who are supposed to be your support system. After joining…
Raising a neurodivergent child is one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences. But let me be real with you — it’s also tough when you feel like you’re the only one truly understanding the situation, especially when your partner doesn’t quite get the depth of what your child needs. And bless their hearts, they…
Now before you say anything know that I’m beyond excited to share something that has peaked my interest more than a little bit: I’m jumping back into Direct Sales, but this time, it’s all for me. As a mom, my life revolves around my children. Between juggling the demands of four kids, my home, and…
Yesterday was one of those days where I found myself questioning how much more my little guy could handle. It was bath day, which I’ve learned to approach with caution. You see, because of Maverick’s Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), we can’t do baths every day like many families do. Maverick absolutely loathes baths. The sensation…
Here we are, at a place I never thought we’d get to, but also one that I always knew we would find. Things are getting better. Things are really starting to change for the better. Maverick is walking into his therapy sessions again with more ease, and though he still has his moments, he’s doing…
So here we are—still facing the reality of having a child who is struggling. As a parent, it can be heart-wrenching to watch, knowing your child is in distress and feeling so out of sync with the world around them. But you also know that the first step toward helping them is to face the…
I knew I was on my own. This was Maverick’s journey, and truthfully, my partner had no idea what we were up against. You don’t know what you’ve never experienced. And while I had my family and friends, I didn’t have them close by. They didn’t live in the same town, or even the same…
As a mother, sometimes you just know something is off. You feel it in your heart, in your gut—there’s no mistaking it. That’s how it was with Maverick. From the very beginning, I could tell that he wasn’t developing in the same way as other children. But despite my concerns, I found myself in a…
