Episode 18: When Motherhood Looks Different: One Mom's Story of Working While Raising Neurodiverse Kids

In today's episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs I'm joined by Melissa Schulz, a Parenting Coach that specializes in supporting parents of strong-willed, highly sensitive and neurodiverse kids. Melissa has spent her entire professional life supporting kids with behavioral and emotional needs, but it was her personal experiences at home as a working mom of three kids, two of whom are neurodiverse, that truly shaped her perspective and understanding – one that mirrors those of so many others she helps.

Together we talk about the emotional load and unique challenges that come with raising strong-willed, highly sensitive and neurodiverse kids. Melissa shares personal moments where she felt like she was at her breaking point, things that keep her grounded on her hardest days, and what she wishes more people knew.
