About this listen

Welcome back to This Mom's View! Join us for real talk and connection as we sit down with Ashley, a wife and mom of three. Ashley opens up about the joys and challenges of raising teenager twins (a boy and a girl!), plus their "cherry on top" seven-year-old daughter.

She shares her family’s deeply personal journey navigating their son's ADHD diagnosis—an experience that led to profound discoveries about their entire family dynamic, including her own brain function. She details the struggles with initial labeling in the school system, the importance of finding supportive teachers, and the tireless work of being her son’s biggest advocate against misdiagnosis.

  • Hear the powerful question a therapist asked that completely reframed Ashley's approach to parenting.

  • Discussing the tension between demanding respect and showing support.

  • The widespread difficulty of maintaining balance in a world saturated with technology.

  • Ashley shares the golden advice from a NICU nurse that all parents need to hear.

This episode is a loving reminder that every brain is unique, and it’s crucial for parents to follow their intuition, weed out the noise, and give themselves and their children the patience and grace they need to thrive.
