You have spent many hours getting your kids ready for school beginning, shopping, labeling and going over their schedule. After weeks of preparation you send them off to school. And in a few short weeks the sickness and colds begin. These are my sensory friendly remedies you can stock up ahead of time and be prepared for the cold season. Because we both know going into a store with sick kids to find mediciine is no fun!

I love viewing our abilities and challenges with an executive function viewpoint, because it is a leveling field. Everyone has executve function skills they are weaker in and stronger in others, whether or not the person is neurodiverse. By focusing on our executive function strengths as individuals, you can find ways as a family to work together that richly reflects everyones uniqueness.

Dr. Stephanie Holmes is a trailblazer regarding advocating for neurodiverse couples and families within a Christian framework. She shares her personal wisdom raising a family in a time neurodiversity was not understood and how she managed her self-care. There are so many good lessons she shares with us. Also if you are a movie buff, check out their Holmes Cinema Clues in the show notes. You will see movies in a completely different light!

Let's walk through one of the self-care categories of the J.O.Y. planner to see how you could use it. The focus for this episode will be on our mind, our mental and emotional health. Also note it is the Hearing Heart and not Healing Heart app.

Also the opportunity to join the Kickstarter is less than two weeks so jump on board!

It is story time, let's chat about two different women using the Journey Of You Planner. First is a single mom with a young neurodiverse kid. The second story is a woman married 20 years to a neurodiverse man and most of her kids are living on their own. We will explore how tiny steps in these women lives can add up over time to grow their self-care and be intentional in their relationships.

It is time! The Journey Of You or J.O.Y. Planner is finally launched on Kickstarter. At it's very essence this is a planner system which allows you to ensure your self-care happens on a weekly basis, be intentional in your important life roles and manage your long to-do list. My "why" for using the planner is being in a neurodiverse family, yours may be different. Maybe you are a caregiver or dealing with autoimmune challenges. Or you are recovering from childhood trauma and get stuck trying to find time for your self-care and growth. Regardless of your "why", the how is the same for all of us. And this planner is the answer to the "how". How can I spend time on myself when the challenges seem so big? How can I take the small steps that seem like big steps to me? How could there be a way out of this pit? The system in the Journey Of You Planner is the answer.

Tomorrow I will release an episode comparing two different women's lives and how the planner could be used. If you never heard of Kickstarter, it is a crowdfunding site allowing creators to bring a product to life through community support. By providing funds towards the campaign, you will receive rewards (aka the planner) in return. But the J.O.Y. Planner only comes to life if it is fully funded.

I have a big favor to ask, can you send it to any woman you know who has a big heart, cares for everyone else and puts herself last?
