Summer without (sun)burnout

Summer shouldn't feel like a three-month endurance test, yet for many parents—especially in neurodivergent families—that's exactly what it becomes.

This workshop, based on SOS —Save Our Summer: How to Actually Enjoy Your Kids (And Yourself) This Summer, offers practical tools to transform your approach to the season. You'll leave with a personalized summer framework that honors everyone's needs (including yours), strategies for setting boundaries without guilt, and simple practices to prevent burnout.

No Instagram perfection required—just straightforward solutions for creating a summer where you're not just surviving, but actually present enough to enjoy the moments that matter.
