  • 309: Coping Skills for Kids, Teens, and Adults
    Apr 24 2025
    What if the big feelings your child has aren’t a problem — but a clue?

    In this comforting conversation, I sit down with Janine Halloran, LMHC — therapist, mom, and author of Coping Skills for Kids — to talk all things anger, coping, and emotional regulation for neurodivergent kids and their families.

    We dig into why some kids explode, what to do in the moment (spoiler: it starts with YOU), and how to teach your child the coping strategies that actually work for their unique brain and nervous system. Plus, Janine shares real-life stories, tools, and ways to create a home environment that supports emotional growth — without trying to force your kid to “just breathe.”

    Whether your child resists every strategy you suggest or you’re just trying to stay calm during the chaos, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and hope.

    Tune in now to learn how to help your child (and yourself) walk through big feelings with more connection, confidence, and calm.

  • 308: You Might Also Like Climbing the Walls from Understood.org
    Apr 17 2025
    Wait, ADHD is more than attention issues? Yep — and this episode will blow your mind.

    In this special episode, I’m sharing the first episode of the must-listen new series Climbing the Walls by Understood.org. This story-driven episode dives into the rise of ADHD diagnoses in women — especially during the pandemic — and how emotional regulation, executive function, and misunderstood symptoms have kept countless women undiagnosed for decades.

    I reflect on the shock of hearing things I wish I’d known when my child was first diagnosed. This episode isn't just about women with ADHD — it’s about the ripple effects of missed diagnoses, how emotions show up in unexpected ways (hello, rage and rejection sensitivity!), and why recognizing the full picture of ADHD is crucial for parenting neurodivergent kids.

    If you’ve ever questioned why your child explodes or struggles to meet deadlines, or if you've felt unseen yourself, this one’s going to hit home.

    Don’t miss this compelling episode — hit play now and prepare to see ADHD through a new lens.

  • 307: Valuing Personhood Over Productivity
    Apr 10 2025
    ✨ What if your child’s “daydreaming” on the sidelines was actually self-regulation in action?

    In this episode of Beautifully Complex, I’m joined by Shawna Rosenzweig, CEO of Campfire, for a real-talk conversation about rethinking success and valuing our kids for who they are, not what they do.

    We unpack how our cultural obsession with productivity often misses the mark — especially for neurodivergent kids. From challenging perfectionism to navigating sensory overwhelm and learning to follow our kids’ lead, this episode is a must-listen for any parent ready to shift from performance to personhood.

    Whether your kid is struggling with school, friendships, or emotional regulation, this episode offers insight, hope, and practical tools.

    Listen now and let’s reimagine childhood together.
