Becoming a parent changed me in ways I never expected. It was the moment occupational therapy stopped being just a profession and became a lifeline. Through mindfulness and sensory integration, I learned how to find balance in the chaos of everyday life. As I supported others, I began uncovering my own neurodivergence and inner strengths, realizing that embracing difference isn’t just empowering, it’s transformative. That realization reshaped my work, my parenting, and the way I show up in the world.
