About this episode

In this quick solo journal, I share what happened when both of my daughters hit the exact same wall in 5th grade—and how learning about my own divergent brain changed the way I show up for them. From decoding unwritten playground rules to navigating sensory needs and cutting through the screen trap, this is an honest look at how i give my kids the space they actually need to regulate, breathe, and find their tribe.
