Parenting a neurodivergent child isn’t for the faint of heart—and if you’ve ever left an IEP meeting in tears, Googled “ADHD meltdown strategies” at 2am, or wondered if you might be neurodivergent too… this episode is your lifeline.
In this powerful, no-fluff conversation, host Danielle Kelly sits down with neurodiversity consultant, speaker, and Journey2Bloom founder Lisa Richer, a mom of two neurodivergent kids (and one herself), to talk real-life ADHD and autism parenting strategies that actually work. We dive into:
- The RiPE iDEAS™ framework for supporting neurodivergent learners
- How to advocate in broken school systems
- The emotional toll of parenting when you’re also neurodivergent
- What parents need to hear (but aren’t told) about executive function, behavior, and burnout
This episode is raw, relatable, and packed with game-changing tools for ADHD moms, dads, and caregivers.
Whether you’re new to the diagnosis or deep in the chaos, Lisa’s wisdom and lived experience will leave you feeling seen, validated, and finally not alone.

Screens aren’t the enemy—lack of support is. That’s why I’m obsessed with Goally, the tablet built specifically for neurodivergent kids. It’s distraction-free (no YouTube, no internet rabbit holes) and comes loaded with visual schedules, routines, AAC, timers, and even behavior tracking tools. Try Goally for your family and get support without the power struggles.
