About this episode

Have you ever looked at your sensitive child and realized that the very things you struggle with are actually beautiful gifts? In this episode, I’m sharing the raw truth about our first family trip to Greece. As an HSP managing ADHD, travel anxiety and perimenopause used to derail me. I’m opening up about the reality of "medication jetlag" across an eight-hour time difference, the humor of rushing to early tours, and why I’m finally letting go of the mom guilt of outsourcing to protect my nervous system.I’m also diving into a mind-blowing, 2,400-year-old ADHD insight from Hippocrates that completely changed how I view my brain. Plus, I'm giving an honest update on tapering my antidepressant Lexapro under my doctor's care, and how this trip helped me embrace who I am. If you are tired of the exhausting American rush and ready for a little more slow grace, grab your coffee and join me. You are not alone!
