Alisha does a great job breaking information down into simply understood terms. I think length of each episode is digestible and easy to process with tips to implement right away. I’ve gotten more from her podcasts than from some in person therapists, whom I’ve brought my child to for months. Thank you!
It’s unbelievable how much time this lady can fill without saying anything useful at all. The only solution she gives is to join her “hive” - which I’m sure is costly. There is nothing actionable. She gives a long list of traits and checklists like “does your kid do this? Then they have xyz and we have solutions for that in my hive.” Waste of time.
I don’t remember how I found your podcast but so glad I did! You describe my son so well and make me feel not alone! This podcast is giving me the positive encouragement I need to keep working WITH my son to help him
Thank you!!! I have never felt so heard in regard to my kids! I have done so much research into ADHD and sensory issues etc, but this has helped me understand them and feel heard the most!!
I found you through a podcast you did w someone about picky eating. On that podcast you both described our kids, my husband and I couldn’t believe someone understood our kids!!
Alisha is uniquely gifted in her ability to connect compassionately with parents’ hearts and minds. Her voice creates space to help us feel capable and encouraged. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
