Show Summary:

Our guest this week, Natalie Borrell, is a school psychologist and teen life coach. If you’re thinking that doesn’t sound like the typical Mom &… Podcast guest, you’d be right, and wrong. Everything Natalie teaches teens can also help adults.

This week’s needle-point-it-on-a-pillow moment was when Natalie shared one of her rules to live by: “Take care of your future self.” She taught us practical ways to take care of ourselves, with life hacks for overcoming procrastination and building resilience.

Her areas of expertise include working with students who have ADHD, executive functioning weaknesses, and other learning differences.
