Connected and Capable

Your child is running nonstop, melting down during transitions, overwhelmed at birthday parties, struggling with focus, emotions, sleep, or eating—and your told they are bad, too sensitive, or they need discipline. In this first episode of the Connected + Capable podcast, I’m breaking down the four hidden areas that are often pulling the strings beneath the surface for uniquely wired kids—kids with sensory needs, ADHD, big emotions, executive functioning challenges (like focus), or no diagnosis at all. In this episode, we'll talk about: 1. Why these challenges are not phases, personality traits, or parenting failures. 2. The four core areas that cause these challenges and why they matter! 3. The challenges your kid has are connected, and when you know what they are you can build new skills and lessen sensory needs. Understanding what’s happening beneath the surface is game changer for your kid, and you. It opens the doors to deeper connection, compassion, and capability. Thank you for listening!
