It can be tough to find ways to have your children open up more about what's going on in their mind/world. Perhaps it is not always because they feel disconnected to us, what if it was was simple as we were not asking the right questions that are engaging for them.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which includes Asperger's Disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified [PDD-NOS], is a complex, lifelong developmental condition that typically appears during early childhood and can impact a person's social skills, communication, relationships, and self-regulation.  The ASD can present differently in every child with this condition. It is defined by a certain set of behaviors and is often referred to as a “spectrum condition” that affects people differently and to varying degrees. While there is currently no known single cause of Autism, early diagnosis helps a person receive resources that can support the choices and opportunities needed to live fully. _________________ Host Information: Name: Dr. Catricia Website: www.drmomsageadvice.com Podcast:  The Dr. Mom Sage Advice Podcast Instagram:  @drmomsageadvice Facebook:  Thriving Single Moms Collective Sign up for our email list here: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/60b1076adf9dcd5c586bbb74 ___________________ If you enjoyed listening to this episode or any of the episodes from this podcast then please support the show by rating, subscribing and leaving a review.  For all my big time fans, don't forget to share with another mama friend who you want to see THRIVE in motherhood! __________________ Resources:  www.autismspeaks.org www.autismsociety.org --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dr-catricia/support

You are not lazy for taking moments to rest. In fact you're SMART for being intentional about pausing and taking a break to rest. We may be amazing super resilient single moms but we are not robots.

Ahh we have all been there, finding ourselves repeating over and over simple directions like, "Stop running!" "Don't hit your brother" for the UMPTEENTH time!! Kids will be kids right? Of course! But don't let their normal developmental behaviors cause you to stay stuck in a mom frenzy of chaos feeling guilty for yelling!

In this episode I am chatting with first time author and SINGLE MAMA, Krista Barr-Bastian! A native of Nassau Bahamas, mother of four and CPA by trade she has a deep passion for women and seeing them unlock their intimate strength to life authoritatively as God has commanded. Here is a description about the book: "Woman! Push Powerfully: FASTEN Your Faith IN God, PUSH Through Your Trials And EMERGE Fruitfully" " We All Experience Disruptions No matter how close we are to God, we still encounter periods in which dark and painful clouds pass through our lives. God never promised that we would be exempt from the troubles of our trials. He has promised to never leave or forsake us. He is with us, to lead us victoriously through these valleys if we firmly place our faith in Him. You Were Made To Be Fruitful! Don't allow the disruptions of life to distract or discourage you. God has set you apart for greater works. Heaven is waiting to partner with you to birth the fruit of your womb. All you need to do is PUSH! This will require a determination that is only afforded by shiftless faith in God. Woman! PUSH Powerfully presents five powerful PUSH principles; Powerful Person, Powerful Purpose, Powerful Presence, Powerful Perspective and Powerful Patience which will help you ground your focus and faith in God so that you can develop the fortitude of mind to persist tenaciously toward fruitfulness; irrespective of your trials. The world needs to be served your fruit now! Woman, it's time to PUSH powerfully by faith!" _______________________ Guest Information: Name: Krista Barr-Bastian Instagram @eventsbyKrista Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100073625114098 Host Information: Name: Dr. Catricia Website: www.drmomsageadvice.com Podcast: The Dr. Mom Sage Advice Podcast Instagram: @drmomsageadvice Facebook: Thriving Single Moms Collective Sign up for our email list here: https://view.flodesk.com/pages/60b1076adf9dcd5c586bbb74 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dr-catricia/support

Happy National Working Parent's Day. In this episode I am sharing some of my personal experiences in how I have dealt with the guilt of being a working mom, especially a working single mom in the middle of a pandemic. "We should go after our dreams and not be apologetic about it, but it's scary. Whether you want to work or not, you have to do what makes you a fuller person. You have to love yourself." – Catherine Reitman If you didn't know September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. The toll-free national hotline number is 1-800-273-8255!!!

I am excited to have my first guest on the podcast. Of course it would only be right that it is Clarion Brown from @dearsinglemommy podcast. She is my podcast coach, she is also a fellow "temporary single mom". You won't even believe how we met and how much we both have grown since we were introduced to each other, by God. They say it takes a village to raise a child. This is absolutely true. Especially when you are single parenting. Here is the link for the book, Relational Intelligence, that I mentioned in the podcast. My #1 favorite read from 2020.
