Episode 99

Amanda Ashy's inspiring journey from television producer to a champion for neurodiverse children offers a unique perspective on parenting. Join us as Amanda, a clinical nutritionist, mindfulness expert, and yoga teacher, shares how she transformed her life and career to focus on family regulation, connection, and resilience. Get ready to uncover the profound impact of mindfulness and somatics in nurturing behaviour patterns and resilience, as Amanda highlights the importance of understanding the whole body, including emotions and nutrition, for achieving well-being.

This episode navigates the emotional complexities faced by neurodivergent children and the phenomenon of masking in school settings. Amanda provides insights into how these challenges often manifest at home, offering practical tools to decode children's behaviour and map out their unique experiences. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, we explore the evolution of parenting styles and how connecting with oneself can foster a loving environment for children. Amanda introduces the Parent Reset Program, a transformative initiative guiding parents from fear-based to love-based discipline to nurture deep connections and harmonious relationships.

As we journey through the multifaceted world of parenting, discover empowering strategies for self-care and boundary-setting. Learn how to maintain calm during challenging conversations and the art of co-regulation. Amanda emphasises the significance of fostering an environment where neurodiverse children can thrive, offering tips on sensory management, dietary adjustments, and soothing routines. We conclude with a heartfelt call to choose love over fear, celebrate the power of community and invite listeners to join our private Send Parenting WhatsApp community for support and shared wisdom.
