Jen Taylor Is Speaking

Every episode of I Am Speaking w/ Shailushi and Kosha is special. We love all of our guests. Without their openness and honesty and willingness to be vulnerable, our show would be two sisters just razzing each other and talking about growing up in the middle of corn fields (that might be an awesome show but it is not *this* show. 

Every so often we get a guest on the show that is amazing for a somewhat different reason. Today is one of this episodes: Jen Taylor is Kosha’s best friend. 

Jen’s daughter Ava lives with ADHD, ODD, social anxiety and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Their family has been through the ringer with some of these challenges over the years, but she has learned, grown, and changed how she does things to help her daughter grow in a supportive and resourceful environment. 

Jen’s love for her family, her compassion for her daughter, and her frustration at the system at times, comes through loud and clear in this conversation. Please also listen to her advice toward the end. Many times we ask “well can we do about it?” She offers one simple way we can help…and it all starts with a bit of introspection.
