In this intimate episode of The Affirming Village Podcast, Dr. Destiny Huff and Lisa Baskin Wright get personal about their own neurodivergence and how it impacts the way they parent, advocate, communicate, and navigate daily life.

Instead of hiding or minimizing their neurodivergent identities, Destiny and Lisa talk openly about the strengths, challenges, and patterns that show up in their parenting — and how understanding these pieces of themselves helps them better support their children.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• What happens when neurodivergent parents are raising neurodivergent children

• The emotional load carried in “being the strong one”

• How lived experience becomes one of our greatest advocacy tools

• What burnout looks like for neurodivergent caregivers

• How sensory needs, executive functioning differences, and masking show up in family life

• Moving past shame and toward self-acceptance

• Why embracing our own neurodivergence helps us advocate more effectively

This conversation is both personal and deeply practical:
Our neurodivergence is not separate from the way we parent — it’s part of the story.

If you’ve ever wondered how your brain wiring impacts your parenting, emotional capacity, or advocacy style, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.
