Episode 48
Eliza is a successful neurodivergent illustrator, author, co-author, and mother to a neurodivergent child. In this episode we talk about her experience of unmasking her own neurodiversity along the journey of parenting her child. We talk all about the exhausting and empowering experience of being a parent, and draw insights from her book on Pathological Demand Avoidance. Expect inspiring conversation about schooling differently, self-discovery via art, guilt-free self-care, and the crucial role of a safe parent to counterbalance more hostile external environments.
This episode promises to leave you inspired, affirmed, and looking at your own parenting with a fresh perspective.
