Lucie a Social Worker, Coach for parents of children with autism and Mother shares her Confidence story.

We share how Lucie and I met way back when in 2006 in Australia, on the iconic Oz experience bus travelling up the East Coast together! We talk about how our friendship blossomed, the experiences we have shared together and how our friendship has grown as we have navigated life together from party girls in our 20s, to parents and Business owners.

- How we bond more quickly with people when experiencing new places and moments together.

- How Lucie moved into Mentoring and Coaching parents after her son was diagnosed with autism, and wanting to use her lived experience to help other parents navigate autistic burn out and needing additional support.

- How so many adults have slipped through the net and are only getting diagnosed with autism or ADHD in adulthood which creates battles with low self-esteem due to never feeling like they fit in. - The importance of showing confidence when managing difficult situations with our children, to keep them feeling safe (even when we are learning along the way)

- We discuss little Lucie and how her self-confidence was low due to self-image and how the 90s diet culture was toxic to children growing up around diet culture and feeling that she had to be smaller to be accepted.

- How our vibe attract our tribe, and how it is so important for our mental health and confidence to surround ourselves with people that make us feel seen and that we belong.
