This episode has the power to transform how we see neurodiversity. Nova’s passion mirrors my own: awareness, understanding, and perspective are the essential ingredients for creating a more compassionate world for anyone who doesn’t fit society’s mold. By viewing neurodiversity through a new lens, parents and children alike can recognize that there’s nothing “wrong” with them—they simply communicate differently. It’s our responsibility to learn that language and help bridge the gap. As a neurodivergent mother raising two neurodivergent children, Nova intimately knows what it’s like to feel boxed in, misunderstood, and judged—and then watch her own children face the same struggle. She’s uncovered the key insights into what it truly means to be neurodivergent and offers listeners a fresh, inclusive perspective. This is a heartfelt, essential conversation that you’ll want to absorb—and share with anyone who needs its inspiring message.In this powerful and eye-opening episode, host Kathy sits down with Nova Rose—a neurodivergent-informed parent coach, and fierce advocate for families navigating autism, ADHD, and big emotions.Nova supports neurodivergent tweens, teens, and parents through a blend of mindset work, nervous system tools, and practical strategies that help regulate emotions and build confidence.
