Meet Lisa McBride - The Author
Lisa McBride is a true trailblazer—and a compassionate voice of hope for parents raising children with invisible disabilities. Through her honest and heartfelt story, she shares the real-life lessons she learned while raising her three children, all of whom, at a young age, showed signs of complex mental health challenges such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Bipolar Disorder, and Schizoaffective Disorder. These diagnoses, while invisible to the eye, deeply impacted every part of family life—and Lisa made it her mission to meet each challenge with love, resilience, and a deep belief in her children's potential.
In her inspiring book, Lisa speaks directly to fellow parents who may be facing similar experiences—those who may be feeling overwhelmed, confused, or simply in need of someone who understands. She shares practical tools and parenting strategies that helped her support her children through emotional highs and lows, difficult conversations with doctors and schools, and the everyday struggles that come with raising children who experience the world differently. More than just advice, Lisa’s story is a powerful reminder that you are not alone. She emphasizes how important it is to be informed and proactive about your child’s diagnosis, to shift your mindset from fear to understanding, and to create a home where your child feels seen, supported, and empowered.
For any parent navigating the journey of raising a child with mental health or behavioral challenges, this book offers both comfort and clarity. Lisa McBride’s experience will encourage you to trust your instincts, advocate fiercely, and above all, parent with a love that adapts and endures—no matter what life brings.
