One Frame Away from Seeing a Brain Type, Not a Disorder


Listen Later

For Nancy Armstrong, a diagnosis isn't the end of the story – it's the beginning of a new perspective. As a mother, advocate, and storyteller, Nancy has spent years reframing how we view ADHD: not as a disorder to be "fixed," but as a brain type that requires understanding, support, and different ways of thinking.

In this episode, Nancy shares her journey of raising a child with ADHD and how it reshaped her approach to parenting, leadership, and advocacy. From learning to create practical systems at home (like sticky notes on the door) to championing coaching for parents, she highlights the small but powerful shifts that can transform daily chaos into opportunities for growth.

Nancy also explores why tutoring, executive functioning support, and individualized care can unlock a child's potential – and why the real change starts with parents learning to see differently. Her story is a reminder that when we change the frame, we change the future.

If this conversation resonates, this episode is for you.
