If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing enough for your neurodiverse child—or felt confused by their big emotions—this episode will soothe your nervous system and empower you.

Host Alessandra Torresani sits down with Sara Hartley, neurodivergent mom, mental health advocate, and creator of the Purposefully Me children’s book series, for a deeply validating conversation about raising neurodiverse kids with connection instead of control.

Sara opens up about her experience with ADHD, discovering early signs in her son, and how Echo Parenting helped her shift from fear and frustration to empathy and understanding. Together, they explore:

✨ Early intervention and what it really means
✨ Sensory processing differences in young kids
✨ Emotional regulation—for parents and children
✨ Finding community when you feel alone
✨ Why behavior is communication, not defiance
✨ The importance of neurodiversity representation in children’s books
✨ What every burnout-prone parent needs to hear

This is the episode every parent Googling “ADHD symptoms,” “sensory toddler,” or “how to parent with empathy” needs in their queue.
