From Surviving to Thriving—Our Journey, Lessons, and the Heart Behind NDM

Autism & Neurodiversity

You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and doing everything you can to help your neurodivergent loved one. So why does it still feel like nothing’s working?

You’re not alone. We’ve been there too—desperate for answers, bouncing from expert to expert, trying every intervention, school, and strategy we could find… and still feeling stuck in survival mode.

In this special 150th episode (a rerecording of our very first), we open up about our early struggles as parents to neurodivergent kids, how little support there was, and the painful moments that nearly broke us. But it was also the beginning of something transformative—the start of what would become Neuro-Developmental Mentoring (NDM™).

If you’ve ever wondered where to begin—or how to keep going—this episode will give you hope, direction, and a sense that someone finally gets it.

Tune in and get a deeper understanding of where we’ve come from, what we’ve learned, and why this podcast and community exists—for YOU.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The real-life crisis moment that changed everything for us as parents
• Why most traditional mental health and educational approaches fall short for neurodivergent kids
• What finally started working—and why development, not behavior, is the key
• How our approach evolved into NDM™ and what makes it different
• Where to start when you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and don’t know what else to try
