So Karen, can you also give us a brief version of your motherhood story and what's been most painful or challenging for you to look back on? Well, it's a big
23:53
one.
23:54
It was really interesting.
23:55
I was listening to Amber's story and so much of it really resonated with me.
23:59
I also have two kiddos.
24:01
They're a little bit quite a bit older now, 22 and 17.
24:04
My daughter, who's my eldest, she masks her neurodivergence really well and just recently got a diagnosis of ADHD.

And I was wondering if you could share some about that with our listeners.
4:26
Yeah.
4:31
I have an almost 17-year-old son.
4:36
And what I find interesting is when both my kids were younger, I had less...
4:49
the controlling energy was almost non-existent.
4:52
Like I was very like free and easy and easygoing and like explore and play and trust was really big with them and letting them kind of just sort of, I used to say, you know, the kid's only job is to get messy.
5:05
And I meant that emotionally.
5:07
I meant it physically.
