Especially Organized: Sensible Solutions for Special Needs Moms

For all those busy moms out there who, like me, take care of kids who have a little something extra, and in the midst of all that extra, want to lead a more organized and present life. I am Angela O’Brien; a certified Enneagram coach and professional organizer. I know what it’s like to have too much overwhelm and too little time when you’re trying to raise a special needs child. Each week, I will bring information and encouragement to help you move through your clutter so that you are less stressed and more present in your parenting. Let's reclaim the space, time, and energy you deserve!
