In this episode, I chat with Amanda Diekman, the author of Low Demand Parenting. If you've ever felt exhausted by the daily demands of parenting—especially if you're raising a neurodivergent child—this episode is for you!

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What Low Demand Parenting is and why it’s a game-changer for neurodivergent kids
• The connection between Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), ADHD, and high-masking autism
• Why traditional parenting strategies often fail kids with high demand sensitivity
• How dropping non-essential demands can actually help kids (and parents) thrive
• The difference between fake dropping demands vs. truly creating a supportive environment
• Why reparenting yourself as a neurodivergent mom is just as important as supporting your kids
• How to balance your own needs as a parent while meeting your child's needs without burnout
