We dive into a powerful conversation about parenting neurodivergent children from the inside out with guest Diane Dempster, coach, speaker, and co-founder of Impact Parents. Diane shares her personal journey as a "recovering yelling mom" and how she discovered that the way we show up as parents matters more than what we do.

• How the "Super Mom trap" catches neurodivergent parents who try to do everything for their children
• Why parents are "the missing link" in helping neurodivergent children thrive 
• Recognising when you're having a "wobbly" day and what to do about it
• Practical tools like the "3-5 challenge" for setting realistic expectations
• Questioning whether difficult behaviours are "naughty or neurological"
• Reframing self-care as "bringing your needs into the equation"
• The importance of asking for help and modelling this skill for your children
• Setting an intention to do something for yourself every day, no matter how small
• Breaking free from internal critical voices that may not even be your own
