Hey, it's Debbie. For the month of January, Playback Friday episodes are focused on navigating, neuropsychs, and assessments. If understanding and integrating what you're learning about your child feels like an ongoing part of your world, these episodes will offer guidance for the next steps. Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber. And I just have to say before I even introduce this episode. I am traveling right now post-move and I forgot my good microphone. I'm sitting in a closet in my friend's house in Seattle using really not so great earbuds. So I apologize for the audio quality for the introduction, but rest assured the interview itself was recorded with my regular setup.
Anyway, on to the show. This week I am talking with Dr. Lineta Willis, a psychologist-turned family coach who specializes in empowering women in their relationships. There are so many things I could have talked with Lineta about, but for today's episode, we focused our conversation on navigating the emotional fallout after a diagnosis, a difficult and real process for many parents of differently wired kids. This is one Of those packed conversations with lots of great insights. And I love how Linetta's passion for her work shines through. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much. And now here is my conversation with Linetta. Hello, Linetta. Welcome to the podcast. Hi,
how
are you?
I'm so glad to be here.
I'm happy to have you here. We we had this schedule for months and months ago and it's funny how that seems like a long time ago and how nothing has really changed between now and then in life. So I'm happy to be finally having this conversation with you. And I would love if you could you know, I've read your bio, your credentials and and the fancy stuff, but if you could take a few minutes to just tell us a little bit about who you are in the world and what you do and maybe your personal why for doing that work.
Yes, yes. So I am a family empowerment coach and uh trained as a psychologist. I have two children, uh ages nine and twelve. I feel like I probably should know that faster, but they just grow so doggone fast I just can't keep up anymore. And let's see, I now do I had a private practice for a number of years and before my daughter was born, I closed it when we moved to a new city. And I always thought I was gonna open it again. That was always the the intention. And it was probably about two years in. I said, Yeah, I'm not opening this thing again. And I decided that I really wanted to have a wider reach and help people not just in my area that come to my office, but you know, all over the globe. So I started looking into coaching and fell in love with it.
And now I c literally coach people all over the world. I have a Um parenting group program that I run called Trigger to Transformed. And there are people in there from all over the world, which just gets me so excited to be able to touch so many lives and and connect with so many people. And so um my why, oh wow, you know. I grew up in a time and in a family where Things like children should be seen and not heard and spare the rod spoil the child and stop crying before I give you something to cry about and all those types of phrases were used. And um when I I had an uh experience with my little sister. I have a sister who's twenty years younger than me. I don't know what my mother was thinking. I hear the question, I hear it.
It's like radiating through the airways. I have no idea. But nonetheless, I have a sister, love her to death, she's twenty years younger than me.
