A lot of moms with kids on the autism spectrum don’t feel they have possibilities.

Too often, their mindset keeps them stuck in doom and gloom instead of feeling the possibility of what they daydream about. 

I share with you a powerful exercise to shift from feeling stuck to feeling the possibility of what you’re craving on this episode. 

Enjoy!

Here's a bit of a transcript. You can read the full interview at MomCaveTV.com:

Jen: I’m Jen and I’m here with Renee from The Mom Room, one of the greatest mom podcasts ever. Hey, Renee!

Renee Reina: Hi, how’s it going?

Jen: Oh, it’s gone pretty well, considering I forgot a pediatrician appointment this morning and I wanted to be here with you, so I was like rush rush rush rush! And now I’m here, and we can just have fun and talk.

Renee Reina: Yes, exactly.

Unlikely Covid Shortages… Pumpkins??

Jen: What are you up to today?

Renee Reina: My in-laws are coming in this evening from Vancouver, so they’re going to be here for Halloween fun. I need to go find some pumpkins after this. I think my husband was saying that a lot of the places look like they’re selling out of pumpkins, so I’m going to be on a pumpkin mission.

Jen: Are the pumpkins going to be one of those things that we’re having a low supply of because of COVID? Is COVID affecting pumpkins?

Renee Reina: You know what? That’s a good question. I don’t know. Maybe we’re late buying them. But maybe there is a shortage.

Jen: We just blame COVID for everything. This was the first year I grew pumpkins and I have to tell you, it’s very satisfying. Pumpkins grow fast. And they grow huge. And it’s very magical to have pumpkins just outside your window. So next year, I’m going to plan a whole patch of pumpkins.

Renee Reina: That’s awesome.

Jen: I will give you a free pumpkin. Yes. Somebody was saying on Instagram, they’ve heard pumpkins are in short supply.

Renee Reina: Oh, wow. Interesting.

We have lots of small ones. I buy them because I see them at the grocery store and I feel like we need them. And Milo’s been painting them, but the larger ones are harder to find.

Jen: Okay, well, we may have a new business. Someone said it’s all the photographers buying them...

It took 2 years of convincing, but Shawna has finally agreed to join Justin on a podcast adventure. 

Both grew up in Kentucky, met in Ethiopia via an arranged marriage, 
15 years of marriage, 6 biological kids, foster parents, teachers, business owners. Ready to share our successes and failures. 

Today's Topic: Introduction to Less Stress Family Podcast

Story: Shawna and her Grandmother Whartenby + Justin and his Grandfather = the little things we do matter to generations.  

Problem: Dads, moms, kids, and families are experiencing very high levels or stress. 
Internally, this stress makes us feel like failures and that we do doesn't really matter much. 

Solution: Awareness that what you do does matter to lots of people, even when you cannot see it right now. 

Examples: How you treat your spouse, speaking positive words to your kids and co-workers all matter.
