What happens when ADHD collides with family patterns of rage, reaction, and survival?

For Tracey Walker, the breaking point came in one terrifying moment with her son — a moment that forced her to confront her own unconscious patterns and rewrite the story. That crisis became the catalyst for The Calm Principle, her life’s work in helping parents, teachers, and individuals move beyond labels and step into conscious choice.

In this powerful conversation, Tracey shares:

• The raw turning point that changed everything as a parent.

• Why ADHD is more than a label — and how it can become a doorway to awareness.

• Practical strategies to spot the “invisible line” before meltdown or shutdown.

• How calm isn’t the absence of chaos, but the skill of meeting life on your own terms.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by a diagnosis, stuck in reactive cycles, or desperate for a new way forward — this episode will remind you that transformation doesn’t begin when life gets easier. It begins when you decide to meet life differently.
