Live on IG this morning!


Dear Reader,

Join me on Instagram for some more live parent Q&A coaching this morning! 8:30am Pacific | 11:30am Eastern. How do you find the live conversations? Follow us on Instagram: @areyouhighlysensitive & @adriennebishopcoaching
Bring your questions or come on for coaching.

Here is a short clip from Sunday's session which was about half an hour long in total.

This is all to promote the new podcast dropping on Wednesday morning at Real Parenting for Sensitive Moms.

And I hope you know by now it's HSP Spirituality Month. That means we are exploring Elaine Aron's new book at Office Hours on Thursday, 9am Pacific Noon Eastern. Elaine says, "Don't worry about the S word." (S=spirituality) It's really about the highly sensitive brain and how to create equanimity, a peace that carries us through all of life's events. Hint: Meditation practices are key.

Chapter 4: Learning from Childhood
Chapter 5: The Eastern Teaching about Suffering Come West
Chapter 6: Further Exploring Meditation

Not yet a member of AYHS? That's okay, you can join us for just one Office Hours if you would like to explore this groundbreaking book. Here's a gift... a half off coupon in the spirit of HSP Spirituality Month (see what I did there?)
