In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re exploring the complexities of parenting as a neurodivergent individual and how our own lived experiences can shape the way we support our neurodivergent children, helping to foster more resilience, compassion, and understanding.I’m joined by Holly Blanc Moses, a therapist and parent coach with over 23 years of experience supporting neurodivergent families. Holly shares her personal and professional insights into emotional regulation, reparenting, and how self-advocacy can transform both our parenting and our wellbeing. Together, we unpack how breaking generational patterns and modelling self-compassion can foster resilience in both parents and children.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available.
