*Special Introduction: Mothers Together re-opens on September 1st! This is the place you can't find anywhere else on the internet - a judgement-free community with small support groups for moms like us, raising neurodiverse kids. Head to ontheharddays.com/motherstogether to sign up!

In This Episode: Amy is a caregiver coach, a parent advocate, an author, and the mom of a neurodiverse child. In this episode, she unpacks the need for every mom to have their village - but not just any village. She takes a systematic approach to building a team who understand the needs of out-of-the-box kids. It's a different way of thinking about finding your people - and her step by step ideas make total sense. We also talk about:

-Comparing raising neurotypical kids to neurodiverse kids
-Ditching the "traditional" approach to parenting
-Listening to your mama gut instinct.

You can find out more about Amy and what she does on her website, Big Abilities.
