  • So informative!

    Great podcast, but please stop Zach from saying “right” so many times. It makes it very difficult to listen to the ones he’s a guest on.

  • Ad Issues, Great Content

    I love the content but the way the ads are structured turns me off of this show and makes me reconsider listening. There are way too many ads and they are very long and interrupt the flow of the episode. And a mini episode I listened to, almost half of the “episode” was ad space! I understand they’re a necessary evil, but I listen to many podcasts and this one has the worst ad setup, from a user experience, out of any that I listen to.

  • A beacon of hope

    Debbie is the bestie every parent raising a neurodiverse child needs. Her podcasts bring information, insights and hope. Her TILT community has been invaluable in helping to unlock the mystery behind my son.

  • Great!

    She did a wonderful interview with Dr. Melanie Hayes about 2e kids. That is what helped me find the podcast, and now I enjoy listening to it. Thanks for all your great work!

  • New Again!

    I overlapped with Debbie Reber years ago and the lasting impression she made on me was, “wow! Tenderness and Competence in the same package!” Now, re-finding her again I see that she hasn’t changed that wonderful combo! But her message is so honed and masterful. I find her words to comfort any parent. Because all kids are “wired differently” sometimes, right? I found her wisdom accessible and memorable.

You Might Also Like: Everyone Gets a Juice Box, from Understood.org

TPP 254a: Insight into a Bright Mind: A Neuroscientist's Personal Stories of Original Thinking
Q: What best practices do you recommend for parents and caregivers to support neurodivergent learners at home and in school?
She emphasizes a strength-based, holistic approach: identify natural strengths, provide targeted supports for challenges like executive functioning, and foster environments where learning is engaging and meaningful rather than rigidly standardized.

Q: Can you introduce yourself and share what inspired you to write Insight into a Bright Mind?

Q: What's the biggest thing you wish you had known at 35?
That menopause education is crucial and that health decisions taken early can affect long-term outcomes, including mental health, parenting during the perimenopausal period, and the importance of seeking therapy sooner rather than later.
