IDK who needs to hear this...

Welcome to IDK Who Needs to Hear This... — the podcast for parents who are done with one-size-fits-all advice.

Hosted by Lauren Sloan and Gabrielle Ferrara, this podcast explores the realities of early parenting, child development, sleep, neurodiversity, attachment, maternal wellbeing, and everything beyond and in between. Through honest conversations, personal stories, research, and practical strategies, we challenge conventional parenting narratives and empower families to trust themselves, support their children, and think critically about the advice they're given.

Whether you're navigating sleep challenges, sensory differences, feeding concerns, developmental questions, or simply trying to make sense of your parenting journey, you're in the right place.

Lauren Sloan, RN-BSN, CLC, is the founder of The Early Neurodiversity Company and specializes in sleep, early neurodiversity, sensory processing differences, nervous system regulation, and helping families access support earlier.
