Episode Details

Are you doing everything right and still feeling like nothing is working with your child? Have you wondered if you've somehow lost your ability to parent — even though it's working fine with your other kids? Are you exhausted, isolated, and desperate for someone to just tell you what to do next for your highly sensitive or neurodivergent child?

In this episode I'm sitting down with my dear friend, my own personal parenting coach, and one of the most knowledgeable people I know when it comes to emotionally intense and neurodivergent kids — Jami Kirkbride. Jami is a professional counselor turned parent coach, podcaster, author, and mom of seven. She gets it from every angle — professionally and personally.

We're talking about her Calm Connection Parenting Summit — a FREE five-day online event coming up next week — and why it might be exactly what your family needs right now.

In this episode we cover:

Why the tools that work for your other kids may not work for your highly sensitive or neurodivergent child — and what to do instead. Jami walks us through all five days of the summit, from understanding what's happening beneath the behaviors on day one, to regulating your own nervous system on day two, to the systems and advocacy strategies I'm sharing live on day three. We also talk about what it really means to parent from calm, why complex kids need flexible tools instead of rigid schedules, and how to stop taking your child's emotional intensity personally — even when it feels like everything is directed at you.
