In the sixth episode of the She is Kindred Podcast, Britt and Emily Lawson discuss the ways parenting can look different than expected, particularly when parenting children with neurodiversity.
Emily Lawson is from Central Iowa, where she was born and raised. Emily and her husband have twins who are 5 and a soon-to-be 3-year-old. She's a stay-at-home mama by day, and gifted artist by night. You can connect with her on Instagram at @EmilyElisabethArt.
IN THIS EPISODE, BRITT TALKS WITH EMILY LAWSON ABOUT:
“If it feels hard that’s because it is hard. Our stories have legitimate hard parts.” -Emily Lawson“
It doesn’t make you a bad person or a bad mom to acknowledge that your circumstances are difficult - or to acknowledge that you expected them to go differently. ” -Britt Smith
"In order for me to deal with my struggle with perfectionism, I use art as a way to sit in the mess.” -Emily Lawson
