  • Ep. 47-When Socks Feel Like Sandpaper: Navigating Sensory Kids with Ivan Hardcastle
    Jun 26 2025

    If your child melts down over a tag on their shirt, loud noises, or unexpected change—this one’s for you. In this episode, neurodivergent expert Ivan Hardcastle joins Traci to unpack the real root behind sensory-driven behaviors and how parents can stop labeling them as "bad" or "difficult."

    From understanding what sensory processing actually is, to learning how it affects emotional regulation and daily interactions, this conversation offers deep empathy and practical wisdom for the overwhelmed mom.

    Ivan breaks down how modern parenting expectations, cultural pressure, and post-pandemic life have amplified sensory overload—and what to do about it. You’ll hear:

    • What your child’s behavior is really trying to tell you
    • How to stay calm when your child’s emotions feel too big
    • Simple strategies to support sensory kids without burnout
    • Why simplifying your environment might be the key to peace
    • How parenting styles impact emotional development

    Whether your child is neurodivergent or just sensitive to the world, this episode will leave you feeling seen, equipped, and empowered.
