What does it look like to parent neurodivergent children while navigating your own ADHD? In this episode, I sit down with ADHD coach and mum Justine Graham, who brings both lived experience and professional insight to this powerful conversation.

Justine shares how being diagnosed with ADHD after becoming a parent changed her life, and how it shaped her mission to support families to feel understood and regulated in a more compassionate, strengths-based way. We talk about the pressure parents feel, the importance of emotional regulation, and why movement matters more than you think.

Whether you’re raising neurodivergent kids or figuring out your own ADHD path, this episode offers validation, tools, and a big dose of encouragement.

What You’ll Learn:

What a neuroaffirmative parenting approach looks like in real life
Why supporting a child with emotional regulation, rather than inflicting discipline, can build a stronger connection
How movement can be a game-changer for focus and nervous system regulation
The importance of understanding a child's skill gap vs bad behaviour
How to support your child without accidentally molly-coddling them
How to recognise internalised "shoulds" and change the narrative to support your children
How to manage external pressure and parent in a way that truly supports your child
Real-life strategies to empower your neurodivergent child (and yourself)
