Welcome to The Connected Parent Blog.

This is a space where I share stories from my own parenting journey—woven with the tools, insights, and gentle mindset shifts that have helped my family and the families I’ve supported over the years.

Here, you’ll find neuro-affirming, connection-focused parenting strategies—rooted in real-life experience, shaped by self-discovery, and grounded in deep compassion.

Because parenting a neurodivergent child or teen isn’t just about what we do.
It’s about who we are becoming—
as parents, yes,
but also as whole people with needs, longings, and wounds of our own.

Reparenting ourselves, healing our nervous systems, and reclaiming our identity beyond the role of “parent” are all part of this work. You’ll notice those threads throughout the blog, alongside reflections on burnout, low-demand parenting, and living in rhythm with our children and ourselves.

Please note: I write from lived experience—as a parent, an educator, and a fellow human walking this path—not as a therapist or medical professional. My words are informed by the brilliant research and advocacy of professionals in this field and the wisdom of the families I have the privilege to support.

I hope you find something here that feels like a soft place to land.
If a post resonates, I’d love to hear from you—your stories, thoughts, or even just a quiet knowing “me too.” Feel free to share what’s helpful with other parents or loved ones who may need it.

We’re in this together.
