All Brains Grow
Podcast Description
Progress can often feel impossible. Whether you’re parenting a neurodivergent child, navigating a life-changing conflict, or struggling to help yourself, it’s easy to feel stuck and overwhelmed. But I’ve learned through my journey—from growing up with an autistic brother, raising a deaf son with cochlear implants, to working as a neurotherapist—that growth is always within reach. Every brain can learn and adapt, no matter the diagnosis.
Hosted by Louloua Smadi El Hajj, founder of the educational platform All Brains Grow and author of ”From Client to Clinician”, this podcast offers tools, stories, and conversations to help guide you through possibilities which you might have thought unimaginable.
I’ll be sharing insights from inspiring caregivers, experts, and my personal experiences, answering questions like: ”How can I support my child’s development at home?”, ”What therapies or interventions are most effective?”, ”How do I manage challenging behaviours?”, ”How do I take care of myself?”, ”Am I doing enough for my child?”, ”How can I manage my feelings of guilt or grief?”, ”How do I stay resilient and optimistic?”
No matter how hard things may seem, believing in growth and change can lead to transformation—for your child, your family, and yourself. From neurodiversity to mental health, therapy, parenting or science, we won’t shy away from asking the vulnerable questions that will get you the intimacy and knowledge that you’ve been craving.
Let’s rewrite the narrative around neurodivergence and celebrate the everyday heroes who are moving mountains. Together, we’ll build a life of confidence, love, and acceptance—one story at a time.

Does my autistic or neurodivergent child understand what I’m saying? This is a question so many parents carry quietly, and one I’ve asked myself countless times, as a sister, mother and neurotherapist.
In this episode, I share why believing that our children understand, truly understand, can change the entire trajectory of their lives. After years of working with families and growing up alongside my autistic brother, I’ve learned that our expectations shape the brain just as much as any therapy session.
I tell the story of a teenage autistic boy and a simple moment with a pack of cookies that revealed something powerful: when we expand our explanations, raise the bar, and presume competence, we open the door to independence, connection, and real neuroplastic change.
This conversation is about giving our loved ones the information, feedback, and belief they need to grow. Not perfectly. Not instantly. But over time, because the brain is always learning.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your child truly understands you, or worried that your efforts aren’t “landing,” this episode will help you see their potential through a completely different lens.
And remember, all brains can grow.
