Let’s be honest: the foster and adoption community is great at telling you to sacrifice everything, but terrible at helping you pick up the pieces when you burn out. When you are dealing with severe trauma behaviors every single day, trying to please everyone else will ruin your home. If your marriage is an afterthought, the quiet kids are getting the absolute leftovers, or you are drowning in resentment, your boundaries are broken. This is a blunt, practical talk on how to stop feeling guilty and start drawing hard lines so your family can actually survive.


What We Are Actually Going to Talk About:

Handling Extreme Child Behaviors Without Losing Yourself: How to set firm physical and emotional boundaries when dealing with rages, physical aggression, or manipulation, so you don't default into a state of "blocked care" or hatred toward your own child.
Dealing with Family and Community Who Don't Get It: How to handle critical or well-meaning relatives or community who judge your trauma-informed parenting.
Shrinking Your Social Circle: How to clean out your current obligations and intentionally focus your time.
