"Hi Jennifer... it was a total Breath of fresh air. Thank you for not making me feel crazy. For making me feel like I’m an ok mother! Thank you for empathizing with us parents on this hard road. My kids come from trauma so there’s that whole other layer. Anyhow, I just had to send a note to let you know that I’m so thankful for your support. I am going to listen to it probably 20 times. I need the CALM technique. Thanks again! ♥️"
