Join the club!  I\u2019ve been dealing with autoimmune issues for over a decade.  The majority of my clients also have autoimmune and chronic health issues, from chronic fatigue, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, to arthritis\u2026 the list goes on.  I don\u2019t think that\u2019s a coincidence! It\u2019s not just the physical toll that illness takes on you, but also the mental battle. I grappled often with the impact my health had on my parenting. While I\u2019m sharing a lot of my struggles today, it\u2019s not a whine-fest. I\u2019m also sharing insights on how I see the relationship between autoimmune issues, inflammation, and ADHD. Plus, I\u2019m dishing what has helped me lower my stress levels and take care of myself so that I could take care of my family as best I could, even when all I had were scraps. Self-care isn't selfish; it's a lifeline for the whole family. Although I can\u2019t heal you with my words, I hope to provide an empathetic space and support, shedding light on the intricate dance of health, stress, and parenting with chronic illness.  You\u2019re not alone, Successful Mama.
