327 We Threw Out the Rulebook: How We’re Raising Our Neurodivergent Kids with Greg Carder

---

---

I’m joined again today by my favorite human—my husband, Greg! Together, we pull back the curtain on what it’s really like to raise neurodivergent kids, how our parenting style has evolved over the years, and why we’ve chosen a low-demand, emotionally supportive approach in our home.

We talk candidly about:

1. When we decided to get our kids evaluated (and how we did it)
2. Whether or not we medicate—and why
3. What low-demand parenting looks like in real life
4. How we navigate screen time (without losing our minds)
5. Our journey of regulating ourselves so we can show up for our kids
6. How we accommodate and support each of our unique kids, especially those with PDA traits

This is a vulnerable, honest, and hopeful conversation between two very imperfect parents figuring it out as we go—and choosing connection over control as much as possible.

Whether you're raising neurodivergent kids or just want a peek into our home life, we hope this episode leaves you feeling seen, supported, and a little less alone.
