How I Overcame RSD and Saved My Marriage (and stopped being a yelling, angry mom) #182
What’s your most shameful secret you’re hiding in your closet of skeletons? Today I’m sharing one of mine: the way I had been treating my family.
It was… not good.
Correction, it was a poop show.
This time last year, I was overwhelmed by life and I had lost my joy.
I was secretly an angry mom who yelled every time I got frustrated.
I was a closet doom spiral-er who was ready to fight at every comment from my husband.
Because of it, lies like “you’re a terrible mother” and “my partner is always criticizing me” played on repeat 24/7 in my mind. = Level 10 B.S.
The shame layered on thick and the denial of how bad it had gotten was no longer ignorable.
Come on my journey of the last 12 months where I went from full-blown RSD (rejection sensitivity dysphoria) plus trauma response disaster zone to my current place of calm, forgiveness, and grace when I mess up. Cuz I’m still human.
My hope is that if this is you, too, you’ll join me in Lighthouse, my group coaching program that starts next month.
Because you and your family are worth it. Full Stop.

If your feelings are always getting hurt by “not a big deal” comments…
If you’re ashamed of how much you yell at your kids all day long…
If you’re stuck in overwhelm and ADHD paralysis…
These are all part of emotional regulation. And there’s hope.
You don’t have to stay in that place. And you can move out of that vicious spiral.
My hope is that if this is you, you’ll join me in Lighthouse, my group coaching program that starts next month.
Lighthouse pairs with my Time Management Mastery program for ADHD Moms, so you’ll have everything you need to sort out your daily rhythms through the self-paced course, plus the coaching to work through whatever hiccups and hurricanes show up during the day that keep you from sticking to it.
Because so many moms tell me “I know what to do but I just…don’t do it.”
You’re not **just** not doing it.
You’re not a lazy piece of poo who doesn’t care.
Something is stopping you.
Whatever your mystery obstacle is that lurks under the surface, preventing you from doing what you want to do… that is what we’ll dive into during Lighthouse and get you moving forward again.
Maybe your obstacle is as desperate as mine was.
Or maybe it’s only level 1 shame-y. No matter the struggle, we can use neuroplasticity combined with brilliant ADHD friendly strategies to make it all come together for you.
Lighthouse is the rocket fuel that makes your daily rhythms pull together faster and easier.
Because you deserve to be the mom and person you want to be.
You deserve to listen to a positive inner narrator who tells you you’re the *ish* (or at least skips say you’re full of *ish*.)
You deserve to enjoy living a life that feels easier because it was built to fit you.
You deserve to be happy.
You’re worth it. Full Stop.
