Exceptional Girls Podcast: Helping our smart but struggling girls feel seen, supported, and celebrated

Episode 1: Two Wishes for Our Smart but Struggling Girls


Listen Later

If you know and care deeply about a girl who learns, thinks, and experiences the world differently, I invite you to journey with me as we learn how we as parents, adults, and role models can help her understand, advocate for, and accept and love herself — just as she is.

In this episode of the Exceptional Girls Podcast, you'll learn:

  • The "why" behind the creation of this podcast 
  • More about my personal experience raising an exceptional girl
  • The two things I hope you get from this podcast

I'm not embarrassed to admit that creating this podcast took almost two years.  As the mom of my own exceptional daughter, I want to be certain I handle the topic of female neurodiversity with the care and thoughtfulness it deserves. (And like many of us who experience neurodiversity, I may be prone to overthinking and perfectionism.)

To be clear, I'm not an expert on female neurodiversity. But I am a passionate advocate for helping our exceptional girls be seen for all that they are, supported with their challenges, and celebrated for their strengths and talents. I've experienced firsthand what it's like to raise a neurodiverse girl, and I've come to understand how I am one myself.
