Not every child was made to sit still, color inside the lines, or learn phonics by a script.
In this vibrant and truth-telling episode, I’m joined by Nancy Disbrow—a former HR executive turned ADHD coach who brings deep wisdom, lived experience, and loads of love for the beautifully wired, outside-the-box brain.
We talk about:
🧠 Why ADHD and dyslexia aren’t flaws—they’re gifts
📚 What’s wrong with how most schools teach reading today
👧🏽 How ADHD shows up differently in girls (and why it’s often missed)
🏫 Why the school system often fails these kids—and what homeschooling can unlock
🌈 Why confidence > compliance for every uniquely-wired child
If you’ve ever felt like your child doesn’t “fit the system,” this episode will give you hope, strategy, and a whole lot of joy. Let them fly, mama.
