Practicing Low-Demand Parenting with ADHD May 22, 2024

Show notes

Before starting today's episode, why not check out Kate's ADHD workshops and free resources here?

Ever since reading about the concept of 'low-demand parenting,' which is helping many neurodivergent parents regulate their neurodivergent kids, I've been desperate to talk about this on the podcast. It was a revelation to learn that there is an actual practice where we can intentionally drop the external pressures and societal conditioning and intuitively parent our children according to their needs, energy, and nervous systems.

I'm delighted to welcome this week's guest, Amanda Diekman, an autistic adult, parent coach, and author in the neurodiversity space. We discuss dropping demands, restoring calm, and finding connections with our children.

Amanda became a leading voice in the movement for low-demand parenting practices with her book Low Demand Parenting, published in July 2023. She lives with her husband and three neurodivergent children in an intentional community in Durham, NC.

On today's episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Amanda and Kate spoke about:

Amanda's son's autism diagnosis journey
What it means to be a 'low-demand parent'
Re-defining how you want to parent
Abeism - what does this look like
Letting go of parenting demands, habits or standards that aren't benefiting you
Releasing all the expectations, pressures, shoulds and conditioning to help create a calmer environment for our family
Things you can drop or change to make parenting easier for you
Making communication safe for your autistic or neurodivergent child
What it means to 'un-school'
Dealing with systems and schools as a neurodivergent parent
Asking for accommodations for you and your children

No matter how much you love your children, any parent will admit that you have had a moment (or several!) of 'mom rage', and if this is you, I hope this conversation will help you release some of the shame you may feel.

She lives in Berkeley with her husband, two kids, and no pets because enough is enough.

Creating a FUN and fulfilling ADHD career - yes, it is possible! May 05, 2024

Show notes

Looking for a fulfilling and fun career that doesn't lead to burnout and boredom, with full awareness of your ADHD? Amanda Perry is the person to listen to and this clip is as wise as they get!

As many of us know, overworking and not prioritising our mental health can be a trait many of us relate to - this may have been a pattern your undiagnosed self fell into for many years.

We discuss this with guest Amanda Perry, a serial entrepreneur and ADHD advocate. Following her diagnosis in 2020, she realized she had built a prison instead of a business, so she set about creating a life that worked WITH her brain instead of against it. She now helps other founders create their own version of success, balancing the value of time, energy, and money.

In today's ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, Kate and Amanda talked about:

Getting clear on your values so you can create a career that includes them
Deciding how you want your work to make you feel
Non-negotiable values for our ADHD careers
Having fun, creating systems and making money!
Amanda's journey in business being undiagnosed ADHD
Creating ADHD-friendly systems to make life easier
Having the courage to change and pivot in business
Upper limiting ourselves as self-protection
Putting our nervous system first
Having autonomy over your mental health
