    Sandrine Olmi | ADHD, Nutrition & Neurodiversity: Nourishing Neurodivergent Families Holistically Aug 26, 2025
    Show notes

    Feeling stuck between diagnosis and dinner? ADHD parenting is more chaos than calm—but what if nutrition could be one of your strongest tools?

    In today’s episode, I sit down with Sandrine Olmi—a Registered Nutritional Therapist, Certified Mind–Body Eating Coach, and fierce advocate for neurodivergent families—to dive deep into ADHD, nutrition, and sensory-friendly feeding.

    Sandrine is not your average nutritionist. She’s a mum to an AuDHD daughter, a Nutrigenomics specialist, and the brilliant founder behind Savoir Fayre Nutrition, where she empowers anxious moms and their differently-wired kids with practical, shame-free nutrition solutions

    In this episode, we unpack:

    • Why mitochondrial & gut-brain health are game-changers for kids with ADHD, autism, sensory needs, and executive dysfunction
    • How nutrigenomics can illuminate what's really missing in your kiddo's diet
    • Simple, joyful food strategies (no kale smoothies mandated) that actually work for picky eaters, PDA profiles, and overstimulated family tables
    • Real talk on self-care, meal-time overwhelm, and ditching the guilt trap of “good parent” vs. “bad eater”

    If you’re desperate for clarity—like, “can food actually help ADHD symptoms?”—this is your nerdy, comforting, slightly unhinged parenting pep talk. Grab your coffee (or a glass of wine) and hit play.

    The Lecture That Changed My ADHD Parenting Forever: Dr. Barkley, Executive Dysfunction, and Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome Aug 19, 2025
    Show notes

    In this powerful deep dive, I unpack the Dr. Russell Barkley lecture that completely changed how I parent my neurodivergent child. We’re breaking down why ADHD is not a behavioral issue, but a developmental delay in executive function—and what that actually means in real-life moments (like, why your 10-year-old melts down like a kindergartener).

    I also share Dr. Barkley's surprising reply to my personal email—and his groundbreaking insight into Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS), formerly known as Sluggish Cognitive Tempo. Spoiler alert: If your child seems spacey, unmotivated, or not ADHD enough for the diagnosis to make sense, this might be why.

    We’ll cover:

    • The 5 core executive functions impacted by ADHD
    • Why time feels different for neurodivergent kids (hello, Time Blindness)
    • What CDS is, and why it matters more than most pediatricians realize
    • How I radically shifted from shame-based discipline to skill-building scaffolds

    Whether you’re newly diagnosed or five IEP meetings deep—this episode will help you make sense of the chaos, ditch the guilt, and finally feel seen.

    Show notes

    If your kid is falling apart over homework, school emails feel like personal attacks, and you’re constantly wondering if you’re failing as a parent… stop right here. This episode of Chaos & Caffeine brings you the straight-talking, research-backed, and soul-soothing advice of Scotti Weintraub—ADHD parent coach, educator, and founder of Reframe Parenting.

    With over 17 years of experience in education and a Master’s in flipping school stress on its head (okay, not technically, but still), Scotti helps overwhelmed parents understand what’s really going on when their neurodivergent kids struggle with school. From IEP and 504 plans to executive function meltdowns and Sunday night homework spirals, we unpack the WHY, the WHAT, and the “what-the-actual-heck-do-I-do-now?”

    You’ll learn:

    • Why traditional schools often fail neurodivergent kids
    • How to advocate without burning bridges—or burning out
    • What “reframing” actually means (hint: it’s not toxic positivity)
    • How to support your child’s nervous system and your own
    • Scotti’s favorite scripts and mindset shifts that change everything

    This isn’t a feel-good fluff fest. This is a practical, empowering deep dive that will have you nodding, crying, and screenshotting quotes like your life depends on it.

    How to Support Neurodivergent Kids (Without Losing Your Mind): Lisa Richer’s ADHD & Autism Parenting Framework Jul 15, 2025
    Show notes

    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.
