Raising Differently Wired Kids with Debbie Reber | ADHD Parenting, Tilt Parenting & Book Club Invite
If you’re raising a differently wired child — ADHD, autism, gifted, learning differences, or anything that makes them zig when the world zags — today’s episode is going to feel like a giant exhale.
Danielle sits down with the legendary Debbie Reber, founder of Tilt Parenting, host of the Tilt Parenting Podcast, and author of the bestselling book Differently Wired. Together, they dive deep into what it really means to parent kids who don’t fit inside the “typical” box — and why that’s not a problem, but a power.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
- Why Debbie created the Tilt Parenting movement and how it’s helping thousands of families raising ADHD and differently wired kids
- What parents need to hear on the hardest days of raising kids with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergences
- How to reframe parenting challenges into opportunities for connection and growth
- AND (the best part!) how you can read Differently Wired with Debbie herself in her upcoming book club
Whether you’re knee-deep in meltdowns, battling school systems, or just craving reassurance that your kid is exactly who they’re meant to be, this episode is your permission slip to exhale and keep going.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
