  • S5E82: Neurodivergent Homeschooling
    Feb 20 2026

    Today we are talking all about Neurodivergent Homeschooling!!

    Given that kids with disabilities in the United States are bullied 2-3 TIMES MORE than neurotypical kids, I'm not shocked that so many neurodivergent parents choose to homeschool their own neurodivergent children!

    And honestly, given those numbers... no one has ANY place to tell you that you shouldn't homeschool your neurodivergent child. That's on all of the people who choose to either bully or turn a blind eye to bullying in schools!

    Obviously, I feel strongly about the bullying that happens in our schools, but that isn't what this episode is about. It's about Neurodivergent Homeschooling: why we make the choices we do, what it can look like, and how to make it EASIER!!!

    And if you only homeschooled during COVID and thought it was miserable, I've got good news -- our homeschool doesn't look anything like that!! It's more like having a forever summer break!

    Join me as I share some of the resources I have created to help parents just like you homeschool their neurodivergent kids with confidence... even when you don't have executive functioning skills!

  • S5E81: How to Keep House While Drowning
    Feb 6 2026

    How to Keep House While Drowning is a book by KC Davis that I am currently reading with the young adults in my membership!

    We already had a book club for parents and a book club for kids, but our kids that are becoming young adults felt a little left out.

    And I couldn't think of a better book to start with because "adulting" can be really hard when you are a young neurodivergent adult!

    Actually it can still be hard if you consider yourself an old neurodivergent adult!

    But it is much harder before we gain much self-knowledge and learn to drop the guilt and baggage from the careless comments of others such as "You are so lazy!"

    Join me as I share some hacks I've used to help me figure out how to keep house while drowning!

  • S5E80: Advocacy - The Road Less Traveled
    Jan 30 2026

    Today's episode is all about Advocacy: The Road Less Traveled! There is nothing that will protect you more in life than learning self-advocacy skills.

    Unfortunately, we often sabotage children in developing self-advocacy by insisting on compliance training because compliance is the anti-thesis of self-advocacy!

    It is often taking the road less traveled that makes all the difference in outcomes for ourselves and our children! And we should not be afraid step out from conventional wisdom.

    Join me today as I share some of the things I have learned about Advocacy: The Road Less Traveled!
