Tired of white-knuckling it through your kid’s ADHD meltdowns while running on fumes, cold coffee, and guilt? Same, girl. Same.
In this raw, real AF episode of Chaos & Caffeine, I sit down with the incredible Hilary Russo—Certified Havening Techniques® Practitioner, holistic health coach, trauma-informed care educator, and one of New Jersey’s Top 3 Alternative Medicine Practitioners in 2024.
We’re diving into the gritty realities of parenting a child with ADHD (yes, including the “why are your shoes in the freezer” moments), and how techniques like Self-Havening® can help us regulate our own emotional chaos before we spiral alongside our kids.
We talk executive dysfunction, generational trauma, emotional dysregulation, and how overstimulated parents can create calmer homes without becoming crunchy crystal cult leaders (unless that’s your thing, then bless).
💥 Hilary shares actionable tools, brain science (without putting us to sleep), and inspiring stories from the frontlines of her healing practice.
☕️ Grab your mug, lock yourself in the bathroom if you have to, and press play. This one’s for the parents who are trying their damn best.
Listen to learn:
- How to stop spiraling during your kid’s ADHD meltdown
- What Self-Havening® actually is and why it works
- How to break generational cycles of trauma with your child
- Tools for regulating your nervous system without another app or Pinterest board
🧠 ADHD parenting doesn’t come with a manual—but this episode comes pretty close.
