- 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.

Apple Podcasts5Clever&TiredUnited Statesa year ago - 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

I’ve been listening to the podcast since my child got diagnosed in fall 2021 & have recommended this podcast along with embracing autism an a resource to new families I meet. It’s been even more helpful to me over the last few months, with my child’s dual diagnosis of autism and adhd & being able to listen to their amazing advice and guests on the podcast have been incredible helpful to us during our journey 💙
