We are in our series, “Lighten Up about Parenting,” and if you’re just joining us, let me tell you why I’m so excited. Not only do I have an awesome guest line-up for you throughout this 10-part series, but I’m putting myself in the hot seat and inviting 10 beta testers to share their honest thoughts about my upcoming book, Calm the H*ck Down. These beta testers hail from all over the country and they were given an assignment: read an early copy of my book, then come on the show and tell me what they thought. So today I’m chatting for a few minutes with Sallie, IVF mom and former schoolteacher from South Carolina, about Calm the H*ck Down, and then stay tuned, because author Jamie Sumner is joining me to talk about how she lightens up about parenting.
Jamie is the author of Eat, Sleep, Save the World, a book for special needs parents filled with encouragement about what we’re already doing right. Jamie was so much fun to talk to. She has a son with cerebral palsy who’s in a wheelchair and communicates with a speaking device AND she’s the mom of twins. We chat about that weird place called IEP meetings, or individualized education plan for the uninitiated, the real fears in parenting, both big and small, and what helps her calm down. I had a great time with Jamie and I can’t wait for you to meet her too, so listen in and lighten up!
