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.

When Joelle Lahlouh became a mother, nothing prepared her for what was to come. In this moving episode, Joelle opens up about raising her son Mounir, who was later diagnosed with a rare genetic condition and autism. She shares the emotional journey of unlearning everything she thought motherhood would be, navigating uncertainty, and hitting rock bottom — before choosing a new path rooted in healing, resilience, and self-prioritization.
We talk about the power of mindset, the critical role fitness played in her recovery, and how supporting your own well-being as a parent can be the most impactful way to support your child.
Whether you’re a parent, professional, or someone touched by neurodivergence, Joelle’s story will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and reminded that strength can look like starting over.
