Bravo Says Bye, Bye, Bye to Jax!! Now Brittany Pays the Heavy Price: Divorcing a Narcissistic When They Have Nothing To Lose! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast.

I’m also a mother to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to this conversation because I’ve walked this road. Today’s episode isn’t just about Bravoit’s about behavioral psychology, public identity collapse, and what happens when a narcissist loses the thing that made them feel real: the spotlight. We’re focusing on Jax Taylor, but this isn’t just a takedown or character analysis. This is about understanding **what happens when someone with narcissistic traits loses their external reflection specifically, how this played out after his long run on Vanderpump Rules and his subsequent departure from The Valley and how that energy often turns inward… or worse, toward the ex-partner who held the last thread of reality.

Divorcing a Narcissist Is Hard. Co-Parenting With One Is Even Harder!! Tools and Strategies to Help You Navigate These Uncharted Waters! 08/04/2025

Divorcing a Narcissist Is Hard. Co-Parenting With One Is Even Harder!! Tools and Strategies to Help You Navigate These Uncharted Waters! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley: an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and narcissism. I’m also a mother to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to this conversation because I’ve walked this road. Today’s episode is for the brave ones: the moms, dads, and caregivers navigating the complex and often bewildering terrain of co-parenting with an individual who exhibits narcissistic traits. This isn't about typical parenting challenges; it's about the profound courage required to raise children in the shadow of someone who expertly manipulates, gaslights, and distorts reality so profoundly that even your child begins to question their own perceptions and what they know to be true. We're here to acknowledge the unique difficulties you face and equip you with insights to protect your child's well-being. We’re talking about what it means to co-parent or try to parent when your former partner exhibits narcissistic traits. This isn’t just a personality clash. This is about psychological warfare disguised as parenting.

Are You Married to a Covert Narcissist? Red Flags, Weaponized Kids, and the Silent Erosion of You!! 08/04/2025

Are You Married to a Covert Narcissist? Red Flags, Weaponized Kids, and the Silent Erosion of You!! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley, an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and narcissism. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. Every week, I help parents, partners, and professionals navigate the complex terrain of mental health and family systems. Today we’re talking about what it might feel like to still be in the marriage to still be living with someone who exhibits narcissistic traits, and what that slow erosion looks like from pregnancy to parenthood. This episode focuses on a particular type of narcissist known as the covert narcissist, sometimes called the vulnerable or quiet narcissist. Unlike the grandiose type who seeks constant praise with overt charm or dominance, the covert narcissist operates through manipulation masked as martyrdom, helpfulness, or moral superiority. They don’t yell. They suggest. They don’t demand. They guilt. They don’t chase the spotlight. They control it from the shadows. This type of narcissist often uses plausible deniability, gaslighting, and emotional withholding to erode your confidence while maintaining a façade of normalcy or charm. They're harder to spot than grandiose narcissists, but the emotional erosion they cause is just as real and often more pernicious. Plausible Deniability means their behavior is always just subtle enough that if you call it out, you risk looking irrational or overly sensitive. They didn’t yell, they just “offered advice.” They didn’t ignore your accomplishment, they were just “distracted.” Because their actions fall into gray zones, you begin to doubt yourself. This constant second-guessing chips away at your reality, leaving you perpetually questioning your own perceptions.

I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. So what you hear today isn’t just clinical it's lived experience, it’s layered, and it’s honest. Today's episode is all about why family dinner matters and how something as simple as sitting down together each night can shape your child’s identity, executive functioning, nervous system, and emotional development. Starting this when they are young is highly encouraged. Let’s dive in!! To the untrained eye, asking a child to “set the table” might look like a basic household chore. But to a therapist, educator, or neuroscientist, it’s a brilliant opportunity to build core executive functioning skills the brain’s high-level tools for planning, organization, impulse control, emotional regulation, and follow-through. This one five-minute ritual engages multiple executive domains, especially for children with ADHD, anxiety, or sensory processing differences. It’s embedded in rhythm, connected to relationship, and disguised as an ordinary family task. But in truth it’s daily brain training. Let’s Stay Connected!

Beyond BAD Behavior: Thriving as a Non-ADHD Parent While Raising an ADHD Child- Solution Focused Strategies to Reduce Stressful Days and Daily Meltdowns!! 08/04/2025

Beyond BAD Behavior: Thriving as a Non-ADHD Parent While Raising an ADHD Child- Solution Focused Strategies to Reduce Stressful Days and Daily Meltdowns!! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley: an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and narcissistic relationships. I’m also a mother to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to this conversation because I’ve walked this road. Today’s episode isn’t about partnerships or marriages it’s about the emotional labor of parenting a child with ADHD when you, as the neurotypical parent, are silently carrying the cognitive and emotional load for two. This episode is for the parents who’ve cried in their cars after school drop-off, who wake up already bracing for the morning chaos, and who feel both fiercely protective of their child and profoundly depleted by them. Just like in romantic partnerships, the same dynamics of misunderstanding, resentment, and chronic nervous system overload can emerge between a non-ADHD parent and a child with ADHD. When we fail to recognize the neurodevelopmental roots of executive dysfunction, we personalize behavior that is often not willful defiance but neurological dysregulation. This episode will reframe your lens, offering a breakdown of the child’s ADHD brain, the parent's internal emotional response, and evidence-based strategies rooted in developmental psychology, family systems theory, and co-regulation science. Let's transform that silent sigh into a powerful, intentional shift. Let’s dive deep.

Why Is He Like This?! Parenting Boys with ADHD? What It Looks Like (and Feels Like) From the Inside Out!! 08/02/2025

Why Is He Like This?! Parenting Boys with ADHD? What It Looks Like (and Feels Like) From the Inside Out!! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley: an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and narcissism. I’m also a mother to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to this conversation because I’ve walked this road. If you’re parenting a boy with ADHD, you’ve likely asked yourself, “Why is he like this?!” Maybe you’ve been told he’s disrespectful, lazy, or doesn’t listen. Maybe you’ve tried reward charts, punishments, threats, and consequences but nothing seems to stick. You’re not alone. ADHD in boys often shows up as high energy, impulsivity, emotional outbursts, and what looks like defiance. But what’s really happening underneath is a brain that’s moving too fast, struggling with regulation, and desperately trying to keep up with a world that doesn’t always make sense to it. Let’s get into what’s really going on and what your son actually needs.

Behind the Bravo Curtain: The Two Sides of the Narcissistic Coin? Jax Taylor vs. Jesse Lally from The Valley !! 08/02/2025

Behind the Bravo Curtain: The Two Sides of the Narcissistic Coin? Jax Taylor vs. Jesse Lally from The Valley !! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley: an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and narcissism. I’m also a mother to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to this conversation because I’ve walked this road. In our last deep dive, we dissected the intricate psychological patterns of Jax Taylor: his self-acknowledged narcissism, the grandiose pronouncements, the infamous gaslighting, and those explosive emotional outbursts that, for years, served as both undeniable entertainment and blaring alarm bells. But today, we're zooming out, expanding our clinical lens to encompass a far more deceptive, and frankly, more dangerous, psychological landscape. We're turning our attention to another cast member on The Valley who has ignited a very different kind of public conversation: Jesse Lally. Unlike Jax, Jesse hasn't relied on yelling or table-flipping. His alleged tactics are quieter, more calculated, and in many ways, far more unsettling. He’s been publicly accused of manipulation, control, and emotional harm in ways that leave many viewers scratching their heads. So, the critical question becomes: Are these two just different manifestations of the same core narcissistic personality structure? Or are they psychological opposites who, despite their divergent strategies, ultimately arrive at the same destructive destination leaving behind a trail of confusion, pain, and relational wreckage? Let’s explore that together. And as always, a crucial disclaimer: this is not a diagnosis. We are clinically analyzing observable public behavior as depicted on television, filtering it through a therapeutic lens to help us better understand the human condition, even when amplified by the unique pressures of reality TV."

How To Navigate The Narcissist's Counter-Parenting: Healing Your Child from Dysregulation With The 4 R's!! 08/02/2025

How To Navigate The Narcissist's Counter-Parenting: Healing Your Child from Dysregulation With The 4 R's!! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley: an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and narcissism. I’m also a mother to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to this conversation because I’ve walked this road. Each week, I help parents, partners, and professionals navigate the messy, emotional, and beautiful reality of raising kids, managing mental health, and protecting peace inside families that don’t always play fair. Today’s episode hits close to home for so many people especially those navigating co-parenting with someone who displays narcissistic traits. Maybe that means gaslighting. Maybe it’s manipulation. Perhaps it's the constant undermining, the boundary-pushing, the love-bombing with your child, and the stonewalling with you. We're diving deep into counter-parenting. We're talking about dysregulation. And we're exploring what this dynamic truly does to a child's nervous system when there’s one safe parent… and one who plays games. This is a deep episode, but it's also packed with practical tools. And as always, my goal is to help you walk away more grounded, more equipped, and more seen. Co-parenting with someone who has narcissistic traits isn't just exhausting it's profoundly destabilizing.

Beyond Resentment!! Thriving as a Neurotypical Partner in an ADHD Relationship Learn The "I Feel... When... Because... And I Need...Strategy!! 08/02/2025

Beyond Resentment!! Thriving as a Neurotypical Partner in an ADHD Relationship Learn The "I Feel... When... Because... And I Need...Strategy!! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and narcissism. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades.Each week, I help parents, partners, and professionals navigate the messy, emotional, and beautiful reality of raising kids, managing mental health, and protecting peace inside families that don’t always play fair or it doesn't feel fair. Today, we're building on our previous discussions, particularly our deep dive into the quiet, corrosive force of resentmen tin ADHD partnerships. Last time, we explored its origins, distinguishing ADHD symptoms from perceived slights. But as many of you shared, simply understanding isn't enough when you're still drowning in the day-to-day realities. If you're the non-ADHD partner constantly feeling like you're carrying the weight of two, if you're battling the "invisible load" the relentless mental labor of remembering, planning, and anticipating and finding yourself exhausted, frustrated, and silently fuming, this episode is your lifeline. We're moving beyond just identifying resentment. Today, our mission is to empower you, the neurotypical partner, with a comprehensive toolkit of proactive, psychologically-informed strategies to not just cope, but to thrive and survive in your ADHD-impacted relationship. This isn't about fixing your partner; it's about equipping you with the tools to build a more peaceful, equitable, and resilient partnership, all while protecting your own well-being. Let's transform that silent sigh into a powerful, intentional shift. Let’s dive deep.

"Behind the Bravo Curtain: Jax Taylor, Narcissism, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Substance Abuse and the Psychology of Reality TV Fame" 07/27/2025

"Behind the Bravo Curtain: Jax Taylor, Narcissism, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Substance Abuse and the Psychology of Reality TV Fame" Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. As a mother to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son and having been married for over three decades, my clinical work is deeply informed by a lifetime of navigating complex human dynamics. Today, we are undertaking a significant psychological deep dive into a figure who has been a fixture of unscripted television for over a decade: Jax Taylor. From his tumultuous tenure as the self-proclaimed "number one guy in the group" on Vanderpump Rules to his recent navigation of marital strife on The Valley, Taylor has consistently presented a public persona characterized by serial infidelity, volatile interpersonal conflicts, and a profound resistance to accountability. More recently, he has publicly engaged with discussions of narcissism, bipolar disorder, PTSD and substance abuse.

(Re-Release Full Episode )“Behind the Mask: How Covert and Communal Narcissists Undermine Your Confidence, Your Parenting, and Your Peace” 07/27/2025

(Re-Release Full Episode )“Behind the Mask: How Covert and Communal Narcissists Undermine Your Confidence, Your Parenting, and Your Peace” Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley: an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. In today’s episode, we’re unpacking two of the most insidious and socially camouflaged forms of narcissism: the covert narcissist and the communal narcissist. Unlike the overt narcissist, who demands attention and admiration in obvious ways, these two operate in the shadows of self-sacrifice, subtle manipulation, and image protection. They don’t want to appear powerful they want to appear virtuous. And that’s what makes them so confusing to live with, especially if you're raising kids under the same roof.

When You’re Tired of Saying ‘If You Do This, Then You Can…..Teaching Real Cooperation Without the Power Struggle!! 07/24/2025

When You’re Tired of Saying ‘If You Do This, Then You Can…..Teaching Real Cooperation Without the Power Struggle!! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I'm also a mom who's been in the trenches raising a neurodivergent son into a thriving young man. My work bridges lived experience with clinical insight to support parents in raising confident, capable, emotionally intelligent kids. Today, we're talking about something every parent needs to hear: nurturing true cooperation in children. Not just for short-term compliance, but for emotional regulation, executive functioning, healthy relationships, and long-term success. This is the toolkit that helps kids grow into capable individuals who know how to handle life from a flat tire to a financial crisis to an emotional conversation. This isn't about being "old-fashioned." This is about developmental neuroscience, social competence, and identity formation. Let’s jump in. All right, so today we're tackling a topic that many parents grapple with daily: the common "if you do this, then you get that" approach to motivating our children. While it seems harmless, even effective in the moment, we're going to dive into why this can actually undermine long-term cooperation and how to shift towards a more peaceful, lasting way of fostering responsibility in our kids.

Why Does a Narcissist Need to Be Liked? The Psychology Behind Approval, Control, and Emotional Immaturity! 07/24/2025

Why Does a Narcissist Need to Be Liked? The Psychology Behind Approval, Control, and Emotional Immaturity! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the psychological curtain on a behavior that can feel charming one moment and manipulative the next: a narcissist’s deep, relentless need to be liked. We're not talking about garden-variety people-pleasing here we're talking about a clinical hunger for approval that overrides logic, safety, and sometimes even legality. We’ll explore what drives this pattern, how it connects to moral immaturity, what happens when someone’s emotional development gets stuck in early moral reasoning and why confronting that reality often unleashes emotional backlash. Why does a narcissist need to be liked so badly even when they’ve clearly done something wrong? We’ll unpack the layers beneath their compulsive likability, explore how moral immaturity distorts their decision-making, and dive into the two subtypes of narcissism for this episode the grandiose and covert to help you understand why one might shame you and the other might guilt you, but both will blame you when the truth surfaces. This episode is especially important for anyone co-parenting with a narcissistic partner or navigating family dynamics with someone who weaponizes charm and confusion to avoid accountability.

They are not the go-between. And they should never be collateral damage. We're not here to shame. We’re here to equip with research, real-life application, and a compassionate path forward.

Unmasking ADHD in Girls: Understanding Their Unique Struggles!!! 06/09/2025

Unmasking ADHD in Girls: Understanding Their Unique Struggles!!! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist and Parenting Strategist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. This is the place where personal experience meets clinical expertise—because families don’t heal in isolation. They heal together. If you’re parenting a daughter with ADHD, you might be surprised to learn just how often her symptoms are overlooked, misread, or misunderstood. Girls with ADHD are often people-pleasers, chronic perfectionists, and emotional shapeshifters. They’re expert maskers, which means they work hard to hide the chaos they feel inside. They don’t always disrupt the classroom. Instead, they stare out the window. They don’t usually get labeled as “bad”—they’re labeled as “sensitive,” “anxious,” or “moody.” Because their behavior doesn’t look like typical hyperactivity, they’re often misdiagnosed—or missed altogether. Girls with inattentive-type ADHD often internalize their symptoms. They may mask in public but unravel at home. They are more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety or depression—when ADHD is the root issue.

I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. This podcast is where we turn therapeutic insight into parenting strategy—and help you build a home where peace isn’t just possible, it’s the default. Let’s dive in. By Using Sales Psychology and Family Neuroscience to Time Your Parenting for Maximum Impact you will be able to Pitch to the CEO, Not the Receptionist: Here are some Sales Strategies for successful Emotional Parenting. If your child isn’t listening, isn’t following through, or seems to “shut down” every time you try to correct them… you might be pitching to the wrong person. In sales, if you pitch your product to the front desk receptionist, it doesn’t matter how perfect your offer is—the deal won’t close. You need to get to the decision-maker. The CEO. The one with authority, logic, and access to long-term planning. In parenting, that CEO is your child’s prefrontal cortex the part of the brain responsible for decision-making, impulse control, working memory, and emotional regulation. But here’s the problem: when your child is upset, stressed, tired, or overstimulated? The CEO clocks out. And the amygdala—aka the brain’s emotional receptionist—takes over.

Raising a Man, Not a Dependent: 5 Core Life Lessons Fathers Need to Teach Their Sons!! 06/03/2025

Raising a Man, Not a Dependent: 5 Core Life Lessons Fathers Need to Teach Their Sons!! Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist who specializes in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and today, we’re talking about five foundational life skills every father must teach his son—not just to help him function, but to help him thrive. Before we dive in, let’s pause to answer a foundational question:What is a Father—Psychologically Speaking? A father isn’t just a provider or protector. Psychologically, a father is a primary attachment figure who plays a central role in helping a child form their identity, internalize discipline, and navigate the world with autonomy. In developmental psychology, the father's role is often described as scaffolding—offering support and structure as a child climbs toward independence. When done right, this scaffolding supports the development of secure attachment, executive fun Whether you’re in the South Bay-Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, El Segundo or if you are anywhere in California, I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to help you or your family find the calm, clarity, and connection you deserve. And remember, peace begins with small, intentional steps. I’m here when you’re ready. Let’s Stay Connected! If today’s episode resonated with you, I’d love to support you further.

“Your Child’s Brain Is the CEO—You’re the COO. Every ‘No’ Shapes their Executive Team 05/29/2025

“Your Child’s Brain Is the CEO—You’re the COO. Every ‘No’ Shapes their Executive Team "Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. So what you hear today isn’t just clinical—it's lived experience, it’s layered, and it’s honest. You probably haven’t thought of it this way before… But I started wondering—what if parents began using the word “No” not as a shutdown, but as a tool for growth? I kept thinking: How can I help parents see that saying “No” with intention isn’t mean… it’s actually life-changing? Then it hit me, maybe the message just needs the right frame. Something that makes them stop, reflect, and say, “Wait… what if that’s true?” So I created this. A new way to look at incorporating the word No.”A new way to lead. I think it might shift something for you, too. Think of your child’s brain as the CEO— which is still learning how to lead. And you? You’re the COO. The steady hand behind the scenes. The one who keeps the company running while the executive team matures. Whether you’re in the South Bay-Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, El Segundo or if you are anywhere in California, I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to help you or your family find the calm, clarity, and connection you deserve.

“A Seat at the Table: Listen In as I Coach a Mom Through Meltdowns, Marriage, and Messy Bedtimes” 05/26/2025

“A Seat at the Table: Listen In as I Coach a Mom Through Meltdowns, Marriage, and Messy Bedtimes” "Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. So what you hear today isn’t just clinical—it's lived experience, it’s layered, and it’s honest. “What do I do when my child completely melts down over something like brushing their teeth or going to school?” To bring today’s topic to life, I’m sharing a real-world conversation with a parent who’s generously volunteered to walk through some of the daily challenges she faces raising her son, Caleb. She’s not a client of mine—but she’s here to offer a glimpse into her world, so you, the listener, can better understand how these struggles really show up at home. Whether you’re in the South Bay-Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, El Segundo or if you are anywhere in California, I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to help you or your family find the calm, clarity, and connection you deserve. And remember, peace begins with small, intentional steps. I’m here when you’re ready. Let’s Stay Connected! If today’s episode resonated with you, I’d love to support you further.

Hey Parents !!!! Are you tired of the Chaos? Start Saying “No.” Your Neurodivergent Child Needs It. No Isn’t Rejection—It’s Redirection!! 05/24/2025

Hey Parents !!!! Are you tired of the Chaos? Start Saying “No.” Your Neurodivergent Child Needs It. No Isn’t Rejection—It’s Redirection!! "Welcome back to The Path to Peace Therapy Podcast. I’m Stephanie Buckley—an AMFT Solution-Focused Therapist specializing in ADHD, OCD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. I’m also a mom to a now-thriving 22-year-old neurodivergent son, and I’ve been married for over three decades. So what you hear today isn’t just clinical—it's lived experience, it’s layered, and it’s honest. I know what it feels like to second-guess your parenting decisions, to lie awake at night wondering if you were too harsh or not firm enough, and to carry the weight of wanting so badly to get it right—for a child who feels things more deeply, reacts more intensely, and needs more from you than most people understand. This podcast is where clinical insight meets real life. Because peace isn’t perfect—but it is possible. And most days, it starts with showing up. Imperfectly, but consistently. With a deep breath and a willingness to learn. So if you’ve ever wondered: Am I being too strict? Am I being too soft? Why do my kid’s reactions feel so big—and why do mine feel even bigger? How do I stay calm when my child is anything but? And what do I do when nothing seems to work? You’re in the right place. I’ve asked myself those same questions more times than I can count—and I want to walk through the answers with you, one compassionate, honest conversation at a time. Today’s episode is a big one—and honestly, it’s one I wish someone had handed me years ago. We’re diving into: How your parenting style literally shapes your child’s brain, behavior, and self-worth—especially when you’re raising a neurodivergent child.
