  • Resumen

  • Welcome to The Unfinished Idea, a space for you to expand your understanding about the neurodiverse world that is all around us. What is it like raising a child with ADHD and autism? How does a neurodivergent person see and interact with the world? This podcast will share practical help, tips, and insights into the joys, struggles, and differences of everyday experiences of this special world. I'm Greer, mom to two boys & two dogs and, together with my husband, raising a child with Special Educational Needs. Our day-to-day experience isn't being talked about in everyday life and I see a gap in those leading people who are neurodiverse. Whether you are a parent, a friend, a teacher, or a neighbor, it needs to be a joint effort. I created this podcast to build a “over a cup of coffee” kind of conversation with you and me -- helping to bring awareness and better understanding about those who are neurodivergent and families who are raising children with additional needs. Each week, I will spend 30 minutes talking and interviewing others in the neurodiverse space and giving you the opportunity to learn, grow, feel seen and heard by how we interact with each other.

    In this episode, I chat with Victoria, @nuerdivergentbirth about the unique experiences of being neurodivergent during pregnancy and childbirth. We dive into how sensory sensitivities can show up—not just within your body, but in the environment around you—and how that impacts the entire journey from pregnancy to birth. Victoria shares insight into the different ways friends, family, doulas, and midwives can offer meaningful support. We also talk about how limiting executive function overload, like simplifying food and meal decisions, can make a huge difference during this time. This conversation opened my eyes to challenges I hadn’t even considered, and I think it’ll do the same for you. Whether you’re neurodivergent, supporting someone who is, or just curious about how these experiences differ, you’ll find valuable perspectives and practical tips here.

    I’m joined by Claire from All Aboard ADHD, and it’s one of those conversations that feels like sitting down with a friend who just gets it. Claire shares how a simple moment at the school gate—just looking for connection—grew into something much bigger: a community of parents navigating life with ADHD. What started locally has become a powerful space of support, encouragement, and shared understanding. As we talk, Claire opens up about what it’s like raising a child with ADHD, the unexpected turns of figuring it out as you go, and how that process led her to recognise her own neurodivergence. Her story is honest, deeply relatable, and full of those “oh wow, that’s me” moments. And I’ll be honest—there are a few points where I’m processing her words in real time, and it feels like something is unlocking in my own brain. It’s that powerful. Claire brings so much passion and heart to the conversation—especially around helping others understand their brains and not feel so alone. Whether you’re just starting to explore ADHD in your family, or you’ve been walking this road for a while, there’s something in this episode that will speak to you. We cover everything from building community, making sense of your own neurodivergent experience, and finding ways to create connection and support when the world can feel a bit too much. I hope this episode reminds you that there’s a place for you—that you don’t have to navigate this alone, and that finding your people really does change everything.

    In this heartfelt joint episode, I’m joined by the incredible Dr. Olivia Kessel as we share openly about the often isolating but deeply meaningful journey of raising neurodivergent children. From personal battles to professional insights, this conversation is real, raw, and rooted in hope. Dr. Olivia takes us through her emotional and exhausting fight to secure an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) for her daughter—something so many parents and caregivers in the UK know all too well. She shares the mental and emotional toll of trying to get the right school support, while also offering insights into how neurodivergent brains work and how we can better support our children to thrive within systems that weren’t built with them in mind. I open up about my own journey—especially the deep loneliness and disconnection I felt early on when raising my autistic and ADHD son. It was a season where community felt out of reach, and all I wanted was to know I wasn’t the only one struggling to hold it all together. Together, we talk through what’s helped us: the little things that have brought more calm into the chaos, how we’ve found (and created) supportive spaces, and why understanding our kids’ brains—and our own—has been a game-changer. If you’re a parent, grandparent, or caregiver Googling “how to help my autistic child at school,” “EHCP application advice,” or “feeling alone as a special needs parent,”—this episode is for you. You’re not alone, and you don’t have to do this alone. 🎧 Listen now and then share this episode with someone who needs to hear it. 💬 Come join the conversation in our online community, where we continue these kinds of honest talks every week. 📩 And if today’s episode spoke to you, make sure you’re subscribed to the podcast so you never miss an episode.
