Happy Mother’s Day today and everyday to all the moms listening. This podcast was recorded with you in mind. It has been a tough year for everyone but my hat is off to all moms who have taken on the additional demands of stay-at-home orders including online schooling, cooking and cleaning more, and enduring the emotional roller coasters of all those in your home. I have learned so much from each of the amazing mothers who I have been blessed to get to know through my work. You are warriors for your children. You tirelessly research so much that most you should have honorary degrees in autism, neuroscience, and/or pharmacology. I know you have exhausted days when you don’t think you can do any more...but you do anyway. I know you lose your shit sometimes and find the strength to apologize. I know that you cry when no one is looking and your child is not around. I know you have times when you feel no one is listening, caring, or even paying attention to you, your child, your family. But yet again, somehow you pull yourself up by those boot straps and give your precious energy to your child who needs you and your strength. I wish for you today that you find a moment or two to find a little something that makes you smile today. Have that cup of tea or stay in your jammies all day even if you still have to care for others, maybe you can find something that makes you smile. Call that friend, hug your partner a little longer than you usually do just because. Let go of something in your to do list so you can breathe. Add something that feeds you even if small. You deserve it even if you don’t think you do or you think you can’t possibly find the time. Buy yourself flowers or ask someone for help with something you usually take on yourself. I see you and I know you matter.
