Reframing Neurodiversity

Season 2 | Ep 2: Why Reparenting Works When ADHD Hacks Don't


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt like you're too much, too sensitive, or just not wired to thrive the way others seem to…this episode is for you.

Melissa Jackson returns with a deeply personal conversation about what actually creates long-lasting change for women with ADHD, emotional overwhelm, and highly sensitive nervous systems. Instead of chasing surface-level productivity tips, Melissa invites her community to go deeper: to the root of self-doubt, burnout, and dysregulation through the healing practice of reparenting.

Drawing from her lived experience and professional training, she explores how emotional safety, nervous system capacity, and inner nurturing are the keys to true, sustainable transformation.

🎧 In This Episode, Melissa Talks About...

💛 Why traditional ADHD tips and self-help advice fail to support sensitive women

🧠 How masking, people-pleasing, and perfectionism are signs of deeper unmet needs

🌿 What reparenting actually looks like, and why it’s the key to root-level healing

👩‍👧 The ripple effect of healing: how supporting yourself transforms your parenting

📉 How disconnection from the body leads to shutdown, burnout, and survival mode

💫 A new approach to building nervous system capacity (without pushing or forcing)

🧭 This Episode Is Especially For You If…

  1. You’re a woman with ADHD or emotional sensitivity who’s exhausted by overwhelm
  2. You feel disconnected from yourself, constantly “performing” to be accepted
  3. You’ve tried mindset work and productivity hacks, but still feel stuck
  4. You’re curious about nervous system healing, reparenting, and embodied safety
  5. You want to raise your children differently, but feel like you need support first
