Kristin's Corner My Weekly Top Things I've been thinking about how and why I began offering behavior change services for not only the children and adults that filled up my caseload but the MOMS who I saw truly putting in the work day-in and day-out throughout all the intensive programing. The delivery of these services has adjusted somewhat since first adding this to my repertoire of offerings; and it's ever-evolving still. What I've realized I truly enjoy doing through this avenue is...

personal development through acceptance & commitment training Kristin's Coaching Corner I was reminded of this conversation recently that we had in one of our summer cohort coaching sessions. We were chatting about distractions and how mindfulness practices can help with keeping your focus on the task at hand. Now, Reader, this is a strategy that takes practice. This is why we say we practice acceptance and commitment therapy strategies. A common struggle shared by many moms was they often...
