About this listen

In this week’s episode of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, we’re exploring the complexities of parenting as a neurodivergent individual and how our own lived experiences can shape the way we support our neurodivergent children, helping to foster more resilience, compassion, and understanding.

I’m joined by Holly Blanc Moses, a therapist and parent coach with over 23 years of experience supporting neurodivergent families. Holly shares her personal and professional insights into emotional regulation, reparenting, and how self-advocacy can transform both our parenting and our wellbeing. Together, we unpack how breaking generational patterns and modelling self-compassion can foster resilience in both parents and children.

My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available. Grab your copy here!

  • How understanding our own ADHD helps our children
  • The challenges neurodivergent parents face when raising neurodivergent children
  • How emotional regulation helps both parents and children navigate stress

  • How to release the “shoulds” of parenthood and define parenting on your terms
  • Ways to nurture grit, resilience, and self-advocacy in your children
  • The importance of modelling self-advocacy and asking for support
