Listen Later

About This Episode: It's Father Friday!!!  I just loved this conversation with Dad Will. He was amazingly vulnerable and strong, and I loved all that he had to say. Here are just some of the things we discussed:

-Seeing your own neurodivergence in your children
-Finding tools that work for you and then sharing them with your kids
-Accepting your own limitations, connecting with kids
-"Get evaluated; go to therapy"
-Carving out weekly time for yourself
-The importance of communicating your needs with your partner

I ALWAYS welcome YOUR thoughts! Feel free to DM me on IG (@on.the.hard.days) or email me: [email protected]. This podcast is what it is because of YOU.
