  • A lifeline for parents of neurodivergent kids

    This podcast is the compassionate, real talk support every neurodivergent family needs. Matt and Lia bring vulnerability, humor, insight, and truth to the conversation so many of us are having in our heads. As a mom of 2E kids, I felt seen and understood in a way few resources offer. Whether you’re running on fumes, navigating PDA, or parenting with a full heart and frayed nerves, this show meets you where you are.

  • Very informative!

    My daughter was just recently diagnosed with Autism. The episodes I have listened to have been very helpful. Especially since everything is new to us. She is our only child and has only just turned 4 December 10. So parenting in and of itself we are still learning. This podcast has helped me understand in many ways how I can help her in the ways she may need it but may not be able to tell me
