January has a way of making everything feel urgent - especially if your child has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, Autism, a learning difference, or another form of neurodivergence. In this episode, I'm speaking directly to parents who are in teh early days after a diagnosis and feeling pressure to have a plan, make changes, or "get it right" as the new year begins. If you're feeling overhwlemed, behind, or unsure about where to start, this conversation is for you.

In this New Year's episode, I share a few of my own New Year's resolutions - not as goals to strive for, but as intentions grounded in care, sustainability, and realism. I also reflect on my hopes and wishes for parents and educators as we move into a new year together: wishes for gentler expectations, more compassion for ourselves and one another, and systems that better support the humans within them.

This episode isn't about productivity, perfection, or "doing more." It's about naming what matters, letting go of what doesn't, and entering the year with curiosity, clarity, and care - for ourselves and for the children and learners we support.

Whether you're feeling energized by the new year or already a little weary, this conversation offers a grounded place to pause and reset.

In this episode, I share a more personal reflection about how I began to recognize the early signs of burnout in my own life - and the small but meaningful shifts I'm making to climb out of it.

As caregivers and educators, we're often skilled at noticing stress in others while minimizing it in ourselves. This episode explores what burnout can look like before it reaches a breaking point, how our values and roles can quietly push us past our limits, and why recovery isn't always about dramatic change.

I talk candidly about what helped me pause, reassess, and begin to rebuild in a way that feels sustainable and compassionate - not perfect. If you're feeling stretched thin, questioning your capacity, or wondering whether what you're experiencing "counts" as burnout, this conversation is an invitation to slow down and reflect, rather than push through.
