Parents, this episode is straight from the heart ❤️—and full of the messy, funny, and downright real moments that come with raising a neurodivergent child.
From baby sleep struggles and food sensitivities to stimming in public and why “because I said so” never works, Pamela and Loki share a refreshingly honest look at life in a neurodivergent household.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your own family’s “normal” is… well, not-so-normal—you’re in good company here. You’ll laugh, nod along, and maybe even see your own child in some of these stories.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
âś… Why tiny quirks in infancy can be early clues
âś… The difference between allergies, intolerances, and how they affect behavior
✅ What stimming looks like (and why it’s not a bad thing)
âś… How open communication changes everything in a neurodivergent home
âś… Why a diagnosis is never a life sentence
