Do you find yourself apologizing for everything — even when it’s not your fault? Many neurodivergent parents in business live with an unconscious belief system that says “everything is my fault.” This episode of The NeuroTribe Podcast with Theresa Minnoch dives deep into where that belief comes from, how it impacts your parenting, relationships, and business, and most importantly — how to begin breaking free. Whether you were blamed as a child, misunderstood in school, or learned to over-apologize in relationships, this cycle of self-blame creates shame, burnout, and overwhelm. Theresa explains how to recognize when you’re falling into the “fault trap,” the difference between shame and responsibility, and the questions you can ask to shift into self-awareness, ownership, and healing. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why so many late-diagnosed neurodivergent parents carry the belief that “everything is my fault.” How childhood experiences of blame, scapegoating, or misunderstanding reinforce shame. The difference between taking responsibility vs. taking fault. Simple reflection tools to pause, step back, and identify what is actually yours to own. Practical strategies to interrupt old belief systems and create healthier patterns in parenting, business, and relationships. This is a must-listen if you’ve ever caught yourself apologizing to a wall, over-explaining in relationships, or carrying guilt for things outside of your control. 🌿

Are you a neurodivergent parent in business who finds yourself saying, “I don’t know why I do that”? You’re not alone. In this episode of the NeuroTribe Podcast, host Theresa Minnoch dives deep into the struggles ND parents face—self-sabotage, rumination, spirals, burnout, and the challenge of balancing family with business.

We’ll unpack why what looks like “self-sabotage” isn’t really sabotage at all—it’s your nervous system working overtime. Theresa shares tangible tools for self-discovery, managing overwhelm, resetting your nervous system, and finding balance so you can show up authentically in both your business and your family life.

If you’ve ever struggled with:

• Feeling like you’re great in business but failing at family life

• Staying up all night to prep for meetings and then crashing

• Overthinking past interactions until you spiral

• Not knowing how to relax or reset your nervous system

• Wanting to stop the cycle of frustration, overwhelm, and self-doubt

…then this episode is for you.

Theresa walks you through strategies that help ND parents and entrepreneurs find calm, confidence, and unapologetic authenticity. This is your reminder that you’re not broken—you’re wired differently, and there are ways to work with your wiring instead of against it.
