Parenting a child with learning or attention challenges can leave families stuck in survival mode—constantly giving but rarely recharging. 
 
In this episode, Jill Stowell and parenting coach Miyoki Chan share practical tools to help parents step out of overwhelm and reclaim calm, clarity, and connection.

In this week's episode, you'll learn:

  • How to recognize the hidden signs of survival mode and why parents often mask their struggles
  • Simple “micro-activities” that calm the nervous system and make busy days feel lighter
  • Rewriting old narratives and aligning with values to create a healthier mindset for the whole family

Episode Highlight

"Why are you always left out of that big picture? You’ve filled the whole scene with everyone else, and then you realize—you’re not in it."

- Miyoki Chan
