Description

In this episode, we explore what it’s like to parent a child who processes the world differently without rushing to label, diagnose, or “fix.” Jasmine shares how motherhood reshaped her path as she learned to trust her intuition while raising her neurodiverse son. Joined by Hero and Somatic Healing Practitioner Nicole, she reflects on slowing down, honoring her son's differences, and grounding herself through yoga, sound, and touch. 

Together, they explore how embodied practices help parents and caregivers reconnect with themselves and stay in the present throughout the day.
