My name is Abigail Wald. And I know a thing or two about
resilience.
This is a picture of my 6-month-old son playing with wires from his open heart surgery. Thank God, today he is a strong and happy 17-year-old who hikes and bikes, loves motorcycles, and wants to fly a plane someday!
Throughout these years, he, his brother, my husband and I have all had to learn a lot about what it takes to overcome adversity.
Once we were mostly out of the woods, I quickly learned that "regular" parenting was hard too! We had to learn how to work with anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, both of my kids' strong-willed and highly sensitive temperaments, and my own intergenerational trauma.
It was not easy but I was determined to have our family rise up to the occasion. We all learned how to build resiliency, and cultivate a growth mindset. Today, each of these challenges has made us better, kinder, more whole humans.
Bring me whatever parenting issue currently has you stuck, and I will take you step-by-step through the Design Process, so we can show you what it's like to rethink the issue, and build a solution that's made for YOU. You'll get a delicious taste of resiliency, and see just how empowering it is to transform pain into possibility.
