Episode 97 - Momma knows best!

MOMMA KNOWS BEST is a heartfelt episode with Lauren Thomas, a community health educator who builds greenways and trails in her local community. Lauren is also a mom of an 8-year-old son who has been recently diagnosed with ADHD by her own pursuit. 

Through the journey of this diagnosis process, Lauren began to reflect on how it isn’t her child who has a disorder, but instead that he’s a participant of a disordered, attention-sucking cultural environment. Lauren offers a perspective on how the natural world can teach us about human development, including celebrating phenomenology in plants and in minds, and considering childhood as a greenhouse. 

Lauren and I are going to talk about how a long term work project kept her away from being present with her son, why she started to question the main stream narrative around ADHD and what’s next for her son and her family after the initial diagnosis.
