My guest today is Jennifer Shutts. I'm a Certified Strength-Based Parent Coach specializing in empowering moms raising neurodivergent children. With not just one, but three neurodivergent children of my own, each with unique diagnoses, I bring unparalleled insight to the table.

As someone who has been gifted with ADHD myself and boasts a background as a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I offer a perspective that's both professional and personal. Plus, I'm not just about talk – I'm also a trained IEP Parent Partner and Executive Function Coach, equipped to tackle challenges head-on. And that's not all! I'm TBRI trained, making me a valuable resource for foster-adoptive families navigating the complexities of neurodiversity. From autism to ADHD, executive function to behavior management, my lived expertise spans a diverse array of crucial areas. Whether it’s school advocacy, emotional regulation challenges, or sensory and social difficulties, I'm here to provide customized strategies and support. I have strong convictions of changing the narrative from “disabiilties” rather to “differently abled”. It's a grassroots journey that holds the potential to create a more inclusive and understanding society for individuals of all neurotypes. I spark meaningful conversations around neurodiversity, challenging societal norms, and promoting acceptance and celebration of diverse ways of thinking and being.. In this episode we discuss neurodivergence, strength based parenting, mental health, self-care, burnout and the education system.

"My biggest failure was, well, I mean, I guess I, I don't see it as a failure, but I think I waited too long to make changes." - 00:38:33
